I'm looking for some sort of warming up program or something to use at the gym.
I usually just warm up the joints (i focus mainly in the arms and shoulders - my weak points) and do a litlle stretching. Then i get on the wall and do some easy traverses arround the gym, and then start moving up the dificulty. But i really don't believe it is suficient.
I'm a weak climber, and i would like some credible info (not your personal testemony on your self-improved "Just Jump Right To The Wall" program :wink: ).
Thank you! Obrigado!

thats pretty much the way i do it.
maybe run a little before you stretch (no good stretching cold muscles).

My way is similar to that with a few differences.
I start with real juggy traverses, all open hand holds, for 3-4 minutes. Then do a wide assortment of stretches for about 10-15 minutes, then start climbing on easier routes and work my way up to harder routes.
Dont forget to do it at the end of your workout too :wink:
Drink lots of water during the workout as well. Joints like water!

I always start with some mild (and I mean mild) stretching of the arms, then hop on some jug and stretch my legs on various positions on the wall. I then traverse for a little bit, 10-15 min, then hop on a stemming route in a corner. this really stretches out the body!. then hop on something at my onsight ability to get a little pump, then work "project" route.

after i stretch startin from neck all the way down to feet/ankles, i hop onto some easy V0 problems and sne dthose a few times. After my blood gets goin i do a couple easy campusing routes, after that i hit my redpoint projects, its a warm up that takes prolly only 30 to 45 min. and i usually do a lil stretch before i go home. i has worked great for me so far
