I can also do-- no, but I can't hold it very long and it's not very clean, but I can do an Iron Cross. So I think that's probably the reason why those lats are so sick. Should climbers lift weights? I mean, that depends. I think for some climbers it can be beneficial to lift weights, depending on how they look and how their weaknesses are and what their weaknesses are. For me personally, I don't lift very many weights. I do a lot of bodyweight exercises. And that's always helped me in the last few years.
