Typically I’ll include a full body stretching routine as part of my workout which is usually in the morning before work, although sometimes I do workout later in the day. I also used to use a foam roller quite a bit as well.
I don't know any climbers that need to work out outside of work......interesting.....I would tell any aspiring arborist to get used to raking or get into a saddle asap. Weightlifting wouldn't help you much in my opinion. Maybe with the ladies but saddle time is your best bet if you wanna build the right muscles. Being efficient with your movements and using less muscle is key. Good luck out there
@@zirzmokealot4600 I'm 42 and being stronger makes everything easier. I've seen many climbers hit the wall after 50. You don't have to squat, but resistance training is the best way to maintain your health and fitness long into life, not just for climbing, general population as well.
I agree that too much bulky muscle could be counterproductive, which is why I said at the beginning that I wouldn’t necessarily recommend people follow the same training style I do because that is precisely my goal even if it isn’t the most beneficial for climbing. Also has nothing to do with the ladies lol. I love working out and it makes me feel good both physically and mentally. So I’ve learned to balance both. Sure, you probably could get away with not working out at all if you’re climbing 3-5+ days per week. But for someone who wants to workout, enjoys it, and wants to not only be healthy / fit but stay on top of their game for the job, I think some basic strength training (whether lifting weights, calisthenics, etc.) combined with cardio and stretching / flexibility work could be beneficial. To each their own though.
You are ahead of the game, being a climber is being a athlete, stay strong, stay safe and do it for years.

Do you stretch once a day in the morning? before working? at the end of the day? or multiple times?

Wait until you hit 40. Climbing will destroy your body, start now with preserving it. Build muscle, be strong, get flexible and eat healthy.
@@selfemployed1338 wait til you're 50. Squat won't help.
