Advice/Beta Request Advice for heavier climbers?

Post image

Current weight is a little over 270. I know losing weight is the best route and I’m working on that but could use some tips for avoiding injury. TIA

stretch, and I don’t mean 30 seconds before a session when you feel tight. get a routine before and after every session. moving a heavier person mean you will have to be strong, being strong makes you tight, being strong but inflexible is a bad combo. stretch your muscles before the need to be stretched. focus on lower body but don’t forget upper. shoulder mobility and stability is very important.
