... But it's necessary if you're gonna work on power development. I'm sure that's what Big Daddy Kane would have said if he were a climber. Trying to develop some significant contact strength and power. FELLOW STEEM CLIMBERS! how do you train for power!?

I usually just climb on problems (or try to) that are waaay too hard for me. I strech a lot , since I'm quite small I need to be very flexible. I also try to challenge other muscle groups, that normally aren't used during climbing to prevent bad posture.
I go climbing twice a week and try to do my other exercises on the days inbetween.

That sounds like a pretty good routine. I'm just about to head to the gym myself -- and it'll probably be an afternoon of hard bouldering, with some time in the workout studio afterwards... gonna be sooooore tonight.
Thanks for commenting!
If you're feeling up to a challenge and have access to a Moon Board -- try out the Boulder Bounty challenge I'm hosting.. Details here.

Yeah for now it is. I had quite a long pause (3 months or so) because I was so caught up in other stuff. And honestly I was a little bit lzay too.
But I went regularly the last couple of weeks and now I'm almost on my old level. It surprised me that I regained my strengh so quickly :D
What grade do you usually climb? Do you rope climb aswell?

Muscles remember quickly ;)
I'm not a very strong boulderer (yet), and I'll admit that I've never gone and done any outdoor bouldering (also, yet). Indoor bouldering, I'm at the V4 range, and starting to project V5/V6 problems.
The majority of climbing I do is on ropes, actually -- and it's definitely my favorite. I love getting really high off the ground, especially outside. Indoor, if I'm on toprope, I'm typically trying routes that are are around 5.11c/d ~ 5.12a; if I'm leading inside, my max is usually 5.11a/b. Outdoors, my best lead-climb has been 5.11a (which I'm hoping to improve this season).
