Direct Forearm Work

Well, you could climb, but I am assuming you are a gymrat and you will stick out like a sore thumb in a climbing gym, but yeah, just climb.

>t. climbing is my only hobby

my friend's roommate climbs, and swears by it. But I am pound for pound stronger than either on pullups and dips.

And the question isn't whether or not I can climb, it's what upper body gains will I get. Is it worth my time.

Bigger forearms never hurt. Grab a 15lb db and get crackin my dude

Climbing has absolutely nothing to do with pullup strength, I can strap 40 kg to 68kg BW and bang out 5 reps no problem, but I am in no way a better climber because of it.


Your forearm muscles only control your fingers, I don't really know what you expect in terms of upper body gains. Your pullup strength might improve by a miniscule, but isolating fingers on a hangboard is not really something you want to do without mileage as a climber, and no, your 4pl8 diddly doesn't mean shit as far as hangboard training is concerned. Deadlifts require crushing, hanging from an edge requires tendons, open-hand strength, which diddlies do not train.

Climbing is about finger strength, leg strength, balance, flexibility, and problem solving.
