I took up weight lifting some weeks ago, as my access to a climbing gym is pretty limited. My question is, do any of you guys know what I should do to adjust my training for climbing? Most of my friends want to get huge and look really buff. Obviously I don't want that, but I'd still like to be as strong as possible.
Legs are a very important part when lifting, but I figure too big legs might just work as extra weight and not help my climbing very much. Any suggestions on that?
Lifting
Work on the opposing muscles that you don't use climbing -- the "push" muscles.
Train with lighter weights and higher reps.
Do leg workouts that will help you - hip abductions/adductions, calf lifts, etc.

Sarcasm is a tool the weak use to avoid confrontation. People with any balls just outright lie.

I'm still not sure if substituting weight training for climbing is the way to go.
