I was not anticipating that the thing that limited me the most was not strength in pushing/pulling *up*, but rather forward and in. However, I was pleasantly surprised that even though I have the worst hands with a lot of constant pain from the elbows to the finger joints, they actually felt fine - if not better - while climbing.

So I should train myself to actually be able to do push-ups, hm? Erm, yes. Good idea! :D

Yoga & stretching in general would be such a good idea for me, as I have very inflexible hamstrings. I can bend back very easily, but I can't even sit at 90 degrees with my legs out straight.

Thanks for the advice! Since I really just want to climb a bunch right now, the "best training" advice is just what I wanted to hear.
