Trasher, if you're wanting to get into rock climbing, the best thing to do is to start climbing rocks. I've got a couple of friends that take bouldering pretty seriously, they all have enviable upper body strength and chicken legs. lol

I do it recreationally, and I have since high-school. I'm not looking to be competitive. Just want to get back into climbing shape so I can go on outings with my buddy.

I still want to gain muscle for other reasons, but I want to limit any unnecessary weight gain.

I go to the gym and boulder twice a week. Usually once over the weekend and on thursday.

Heavy front squats, really heavy hack squats, and a drop set on leg extensions (200-110 for 5 each) helped make moving a challenge. I fully expect tomorrow to be worse.

So I finally decided to try and mix it up with one of these BodyBuilding.com workouts. Trying the Kris Gethin one, I liked it because it seemed like a pretty logical push/pull type of split, which I greatly prefer to grouping. Just finished the first week, gotta say I like it so far. The extra cardio is helping me slim down a bit, I've definitely packed on some fat over the last few months. Day 7 was legs, I did three sets of 50 leg presses with 320lbs, sandwiched between three different superset groups, one of which included three sets of 40 lunges with 30lb weights. I will be surprised if I can walk tomorrow.

I'm on day 5 of the Gethin plan. The cardio does help. I've been pleased. I know day 7 is the legs superset workout. Not looking forward to that...

How is the diet working for you? I really miss the dairy products. I drink a lot of milk and I've been reduced to putting protein powder in my coffee...

I prefer push/pull as well and have been wanting to make a change too. I'll have to check this out

I actually prefer not to do a push/pull, and I like workouts that have some overlap. I like to do dips on arms day so that I can get a real low intensity chest workout later in the week, etc.

Every week I try to talk myself out of my leg workout, and yesterday I actually went through with the laziness. I feel empty now
