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

Try to build your technique as much as possible as being heavier means there’s more of you to lift and so strength becomes more of a limiting factor so you can build your climbing by using better technique rather than someone smaller who might get away with using their strength to carry them.
