Climbers place a load of strain on their shoulders and fingers. These few exercises are a good starting point to strengthen the opposite muscle groups that we so often ignore. By doing these shoulder strengthening exercises either as part of your warm up or on your non-climbing days, you will reduce risk of injury and improve your ability to perform 'shouldery' or 'fingery' moves. Remember to keep weights low and reps high (10-20 depending on the exercise). Combine these with a good warm up and decent rest and you are likely to keep overuse injuries at bay.
