| Squats, dead lifts, and calf raises are necessary to be a good rock climber just as much as shoulder and arm work!! a good rock climber will use his legs much more than his arms to push to the next crevice than pull up to it anytime it is possible. The size of your quads compared to any other muscle you will use is amazing and they do not fatigue as fast. I used to rock climb at Atlanta Rocks and all the coaches made sure we incorporated our legs any chance we got. do a FBW it will pay off. |
