Rock Climbing

Great for forearms. Youll find very few serious athletes in climbing gyms, seems more like a hipster hang out to me.

It’s fun as hell and your fingers will get sore.

Whatever you do, don't use a hangboard till you build up the tendon strength in your hands, you can fuck up your fingers really fast.

People will talk about how easy it is to get forearm gains from the board but you will end up injuring yourself and being out of commission much longer than taking the time to do proper training.

thats weird am in aus and theyre all hipsters too

jesus christ you guys are ignorant. rock climbing is terrible for building strength because its entirely dependent on your bodyweight. every time you climb your body is telling itself "this would be easier if you were lighter" thus you lose more muscle and fat together than is necessary for strength gains. stay away from rock climbing

It really builds your grip and you'll feel sore in places you never have been, f. e. your fucking feet. I got a boulder hall near me and I would love to go there every week, but it's full of fucking faggots.
The lifestyle that's attached to this hobby is obnoxious. All these skinny mofos with their vegan gluten free soy shit, who look at me like "lol you would go down in the alps, you disgusting humk of meat."

I'm in France and I have to say bouldering is full of hipsters, rope climbing much less

>YOU HAVE TO LIVE IT

the place I've been going too is a mix of these types, really dedicated people who go all out, and super ripped dudes who do bouldering with their shirts off. I love it though, feel so sore afterwards and so satisfied, it must be doing wonders.

hmm, that doesn't really sound like the way the body works
