Agreed with Mark. I do SEs the day after climbing/finger workouts and then have a full day of rest on day 3. I just don't have enough time for climbing + SEs on the same day.

Mark, Daustin thanks. This is great. So I still get a rest day before the fingerboard but get to have a real go and get stuck in on the weights etc.
I'll give it a go this season and see where it gets me. I guess the best thing about performing all the exercise on the same day is that you only have to warm up and warm down once so there's a time-saving there!
Also, just doing some reading around the subject. Mark, do you know if another idea of doing the supplementary exercises is to use large muscle groups and therefore stimulate testosterone production? Something which isn't produced by working the small muscle groups in the forearms alone? This would help with hypertrophy....?

I've put a lot of thought into refining my training schedule this season. The strength phase is, for me, the most straightforward and easy to schedule. Hangboard day 1, SE day 2, rest day 3, repeat. I should note that I don't seem to take nearly as long to warm up as a lot of folks, at least not now. Typically, my warm up is 5-10 minutes and I'm ready to roll.
I'm not quite sure I buy into the whole testosterone stimulation thing with working large leg muscle groups. The questions I would need to answer are: Does it stimulate testosterone production? If so, how much and any more so than other exercise or training? Does it even make a difference in climbing? I do some light leg work, but this is more to keep my back, core and the rest of my body healthy. It's more important to me to be able to roughhouse with the kids than to climb well. I've found, however, that what I'm doing doesn't seem to add any body weight and hasn't hurt my climbing at all.

That's one of the arguments the Dead Lift advocates use in favor of dead lifts/squats, etc. I've read that it applies to any "large muscle groups", and pull-ups are often cited as another exercise that can help stimulate testosterone production. I go with the sport-specific testosterone-stimulating exercise, but many others disagree with me on that.

Nice one. Grr, just lost a long reply due to internet issues. Right to paraphrase: Thanks. So throw in a few one-armers post fingerboard to promote hypertrophy and then wait until the next day for a full blown weights session so that I have enough time to have a good quality session. Then rest the following day before starting the whole thing over. This is great. Thanks guys!
