all good advice. Really you probably would benefit from just cimbing more. Depending on how long you've been at it, hitting the hangboard might actually help you out. I feel like you need to develop enough tendon strength before you really start doing hangboard workouts (or risk injury), but I started using mine in a more regimented fashion this summer and went from V3 to V6 in just a couple months ( I didn't just focus on hangboard, but it definitely helped, it depends on where you're starting from too, I've been climbing ~5 years and max out around mid 5.12, so have a good baseline strength level before starting a hangboard program). Lay off the standard weight training stuff, and look for more climbing oriented workouts, isolating muscle groups that you actually use, and throw some cardio in there for cross training (road bike, running, ect) it'll go a long way. Practice lock off strength, technique, and control. Most of all, just get out of the gym, and hit the real stone, that's were true progress starts. Hope you crack through your plateau! Good luck!
