I'm trying to find ways to push my climbing and as everyone says i do believe too that there isn't anything better than going climbing to do this. So that's why i really focus on doing pretty much all my training on the wall and i try to find ways to push things up without restricting time on the rock/wall. That's how i found stretching, antagonist training etc. But something i never really stuck to is core training. I don't think that it will make me too exhausted to restrict actual climbing or reduce the quality of my sessions so it's probably a good question.

The thing is i don't really know it would be beneficial and this is the thing that stops me of doing it, just because I don't really have the motivation to do so. I always said to me that just going bouldering on the spray wall or on the moonboard is enough for my core, but i believe that's wrong.

So guys prove me wrong and tell me what core exercises you do off the wall and how this affected your climbing. Is it really beneficial to do low intensity core exercises like crunches or planks or it is much better to do front lever progressions? Or do both? What about doing both in one workout? How often should i train my core?
