Jay. When are you going to learn that people around here don't ask questions like that with a desire for real truth. I can't read what you posted originally, because you deleted it, but there's a good chance I totally agree with you. I started weight lifting and doing pullups about a couple of months ago...I ended up injuring my arm and both of the tendons in my right forearm. (I was too enthusiastic). Anyway, from my own personal experience (and I'm a female...keep that in mind) cardio (esp HIIT training) and climbing are the only types of training that have helped improve my climbing. I say that because cardio helps keep me skinnier, which makes climbing easier...which most guys might not even need for climbing. Depends.
