Critique my workout plan. Anonymous
Rock climber, recently turned 18, just under 6ft tall and 140lbs. Here is my workout routine for the months to come before rock climbing competition season kicks in. Keep in mind that I boulder, which involves intense climbing for short periods of time, so my focus is power. All weightlifting exercises will be done in 5 sets of clustered reps building up to a max of 4 reps a set. The rowing will be done on a indoor rowing machine, with 1min rest in between 500 meter pieces, done in sets of 4, and 5-10 min rests in between 1500 meter pieces.

The squats will be sumo, rather than olympic, and the campus board is basically dynamic climbing exercises to keep my tendons in good shape.

Have you looked into high tension bodyweight exercises? Stuff like gymnastics holds and Naked Warrior techniques.

From what I understood, Starting Strength is primarily a guide on specific core exercises, and an overall treatise on building power and strength. I feel am definitely considering and implementing a lot that book goes over, like the low rep, high volume sets and such. Or am I wrong?

Look, I know indulging trolls and idiots is more fun and a lot less work, but could someone help me correct this plan, or atleast validate it?
