With HIGH regard to your weight, size and ability to bench 250....um you can't spell or write a sentence EITHER.
What you do "rong"? I'd say punching a "srpot" climber is OK, though. Way to go.
(that's a joke)

the key to climbing well is a high strength to weight ratio (as well as proper technique). In your case, weighing 250 isn't going to help you climb. good climbers tend to have large forarms and very strong tendons in the fingers. You probably do, as well, since you've been lifting weights for some time. However, climbers get strong fingers, but still weigh average or below, while you weigh far over average. Basically, your fingers cannot support your weight. another problem you probably have is bad technique...any beginner will have bad technique. If you REALLY want become a good climber, climb a lot, and run or something to lose the pounds of muscle.

Hitting climbers because they are better tahn you, huh?
Remind me not to climb anywhere near you.
I hope ther are not any more climbers like you out there. I shudder to think what would become of this sport withoutthe community cooperation and sportsmanship!
