The Best Pull Up Exercises For Climbing

Pull ups are (and have been) a staple of the climber's training diet for decades - with good reason! They're a super effective exercise for the strength and conditioning of the muscles and soft tissues involved in climbing movement. Of course - as we've said before - there are some ways in which the pull up exercise lacks in specificity, but if you're able to plan and utilise this tool at the right part time of year, with the correct form of exercise then you're going to see huge benefits.

In today's video, we've got Tom and Jen who both come from different sport specialisations (trad climbing and competition climbing, respectively) but both integrate various forms of pull up exercise into their training. They're looking at some of the key "headline" factors you want to pay attention to and also they run through a list of types of pull up they see as being most useful to a climber.

Remember, it's hard to argue that one form of pull up is "better" or this is the "secret method" or that this is the "only" exercise to get you your first V11. That is the kind of information or opinion that isn't a reality or correct! Good climbers (especially those that train) will use a variety across their training lifespan and they'll use appropriate load, frequency and recovery with each. THIS is the real key to success!
