If it's not much trouble, may I ask what's your routine? Maybe you're indeed Superman. Amazing job!
My own program.
Yes. Diet is #1. Heavy lifting in all your compounds is #2. If you do these two things eveything else will fall into place.
Between YouTube and form check videos for us to look at you shall conquer every single compound lift!
I was able to fit a bar into my macros today since I was a dumb dumb and forgot my almonds at home; they're really good! The flavor is on point but not really that special to me because I've had Optimum Nutrition's cake bites recently, but the texture and macros are definitely better than those. Still gonna keep getting the cake bites as well for when I don't want to have all of that fiber gunking up my system for a few days though. :P
How does one wear a belt and still looks like they are about to die. If he keeps trying to go heavy with that form rip.Didn't see this posted yet, dem Trump Jr insane deadlift gainz

Gonna be lame and quote myself here:
But also, cutting means you're gonna have visual goods to keep you going. I love the feeling of clothes fitting looser (until they're comically large anyway) and muscles/veins becoming more visible. It also helps to find foods that you can eat high volumes of, I really like the act of eating so I try to find stuff I that's low calorie and I can eat a lot of, eg: salad with greek yogurt-based dressing, carrots, jalapenos, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. While some of these foods may not sound exciting, there's a lot ways you can vary them up. For example, Monday I had cottage cheese with peanut butter powder and sugar free chocolate syrup mixed in it. Today I had cottage cheese with italian herbs, pepperoni, and sriracha mixed in, giving it more of a pizza vibe.

I found success in what I would call "chasing calories". Make yourself wake up an hour early and lift (or...yuck.. do HIIT) and then boom, you're already at a calorie deficit of 400 - 800 calories for the day. I would sometimes lift heavy enough to burn 900 to 1000 calories with 5 min HIIT warm up and then my split. Track your calories burned with a fitness tracker like U Record and calories consumed with my fitness pal and try to finish the day exactly hitting your calorie goal of (food eaten minus calories burned = bmr minus 400 to 600 calorie deficit.) I would often have to eat 2600 to 2900 calories to stay at a reasonable deficit of between 400 and 500 calories per day. I was on keto, so I was able to eat lots of satisfying fatty foods all day (with plenty of high fiber low carbs) and moderate protein. I went from 195 to 178 from the end of July to the end of September. Of course, a good amount of the weight I lost at first was water weight. My family didn't like me getting so thin in the face, so I'm bulking now. Still deciding if I want to try to compete next year.

I'm guessing grip is a big thing with climbing so grip and forearm exercises could be handy. Then just do the usual until she's able to do pull-ups like lat pulldowns and shrugs I guess? Might be worth researching "climbing gym exercises" too.
Oh right, I forgot I downloaded a ton of deadlift videos, I shall watch them. Not so sure about a video of me doing it, but I'll try, thanks!
Olympic barbell, you mean? We also have those curvy, smaller ones which I use for the OHP. I'll muster up the courage to try out the olympic one next time, that's for sure. Thanks!
Try and do most compounds using an olympic barbell as their length will help with form. Sure OHP is easier with an EZ bar (the curvy smaller one) but you'll benefit more with the olympic ones as they require more stability and control to complete the movement. And as Bumrush said, concentrate on form first before adding on the weights. "If you lift light as if it's heavy, you'll lift heavy as if it's light."
I hadn't actually considered forearm. Grip, for sure, but forearm could definitely be useful.
One tip for stability is to keep your core tight and ass tensed during lifts. You got this.
Walking dumbbell lunges with a long and deep stride will probs be a great exercise as it'll work their grip, forearms, traps and also glutes for when a climber like "steps up".
Thanks for the tips! I'll keep that in mind :)
Natural peanut butter is something made manually, I suppose? I really am trying hard to find something like that, so far this is the best I've found. Maybe the more upscale shops would be better places to look into, I've been meaning to check out Greek yogurt too which I can't seem to find anywhere.
Was gradual... incessant. Before I even knew it I was lost.
Where do you live? Should be pretty easy to get anywhere.
Back building feels so great. Just started doing T-bar rows and narrow underhand grip lat pulldowns and loving it.
Because I'm British, and it's our language, not yours (we've had it longer!)
