Preliminary feedback

So far I like the program. I like that it allows for climbing 3 days a week because so many rock climbing workouts I have ran across want 4-5 days in the gym, leaving people with a 9-5 work schedule wondering when they get to climb. Another thing I really like is the amount of core exercises, something I tend to forget to focus on for climbing. I have made some adjustments to the plan just because my gym doesn't have a few things like a wrist roller, but I just supplement with another exercise. So far I am impressed. I will try to remember to leave feedback after more time with it to see if my climbing actually improved.

Workout Feedback

Although I'm not a rock climber, I joined this workout because I felt it gave a good balance of workout with time for cardio on non-Strength Training days. I plan to continue doing 10min cardio warm-up followed by the workout routine. I enjoyed the first day as it kept me moving around and I felt it worked the muscles in a good order. I'll post back on how the workout plan feels after a week or two.
