I have my gym at home I can use... I have a barbell, plenty of weight... And a bench. Also have curl bar and Dumbbells. Anyone have any good routine ideas? Looking to build upper body strength to help rock climbing

Normally more rock climbing helps rock climbing
Lol, I have a few friends who die hard rock clombing that won't workout with me because they don't want to build muscle mass and be heavier / less agile.

what muscles r worked in rock climbing?

lift weights to build them muscles, negatives prob be good too

and also alot of weightlifting movements dont really directly help specific activities such as rock climbing

Well I just moved and the closest rock wall is an hour and a half away, so I'm trying to keep strength while I can't climb as much. Doubt I'd be able to build so much muscle that it would hinder climbing

u want strength prob

focus on some good negatives

eccentric movements

help with control and holding ur body while rock climbing

if youre doing very difficult climbs, strength would be good, if you climb for a long time, endurance might work better, neither focus on mass

do the basic exercise shits that u find in a generic routines in strength (1-6) or endurance (12+) rep range

So a strength routine would be most beneficial.... What's there to do besides bench row and curls?

Also how can I work forearms
