Training

I usually, have not been very big into training as I have found for me the best way to improve on my climbing is to just climb climb. However, being a tall climber like myself I have noticed especially in competitions that if there is any sort of one arm pull-up type move involved within the climb,  it kills me as I must pull up quite a long ways haha.   The DBC recently bought some weights and a bench press set.  I decided to give it a go (beginning of december), and I have definitely noticed a change in my climbing, I am able to lock off on much smaller holds better and longer than before.  Along with that my body feels more balanced, developing muscles that are not worked as much while climbing.

Here is a short example of a typical after climbing workout:

Bench-press

Lift into Military Press or just Standing Military Press

Arm Curl Lifts

Weighted Lock-Offs 

I think thats all, if not I will add it in later.

(Usually do 3 sets)

In addition, to the workout listed above I have been doing the Mens Health Spartacus Workout (Click for App Store  Link, free version also available).  This is a very intense fast paced all body workout, depending on weight amount etc.  I have been doing this workout for about 2 weeks now, start day #8 on Wed.  I also highly recommend this regimen as well and have personally noticed a benefit from it.  A plus to this one is only free weights needed and it can be done with no weights as well if desired.

I would love to know what you all think about these workouts if decide to do them and what the results are!
