Curious what those of you who weigh around 190 to 200# are climbing - both on sight and rehearsed?

Think you should be asking what are they deadlifting rather than climbing ha ha ha.
A few years ago when I was doing more weights and working towards a 1000lb total (deadlift + squat + bench) I was weighing in at around 190-200lbs. Not much routing at that point but was getting up short and snappy V10's in a few goes. Now down below 180 and have to say it does feel easier with the enduro stuff. Remember the maxim train heavy / climb light...

Remember the maxim train heavy / climb light... When I was young and weighed 175 to 180 I totaled 1195# on the power lifts in competition - now only 1045 or so with training lifts. I also climbed much much better back then but the passage of over 30 years has changed that a bit. We all know the best climbers are pretty light but I would find some motivation in reading about guys my size, what they can do, and how they train. I currently weigh around 192# at 6' 2" tall and 69 years old. One can always use some motivation  . |

Some impressive numbers there- took me 2 years of training to beat 1000 lbs and that was with 3 months devoted solidly to maxing out on the lifts at the end.
What was it the Huber's said? - they did all their training at home and then went to the wall for a rest day :-)
My training (aged 42 / 6ft 4/ ~180 lbs) mainly revolves around the garage these days. Small wall / systems set up, a few campus rungs, TRX, hang board and barbell. I do a lot of the Olympic lifts as part of my warm up sequence. I have made some jerk boxes which I like doing partial deadlifts from for grip strength. I have a piece of pipe that I slot over the bar so to do fat bar deadlifts. I also use resistance bands a fair bit for variable resistance training. The local walls are very busy in the evenings so just go every so often to soRCTMkicksAsse / work on technique / benchmark the training.
Summer time I would skip most of the training and be out climbing after work ~3x per week as weather allows.
