3 days in a row of 1 hour of cardio, plus hours climbing (in the gym :( ), today will do a 2 hour cardio session...
83 pullups?? How often do you do that Jaybro? How many reps per set do you do?

I may have done 83 pullups this century, but I couldn't guarantee that.

My friend does 90 pullups a day every day (I think he divides it into 3 sessions of something like 3 sets by 10 reps), and he climbs very well.
I am more of a new (climbed for almost a year) to climbing (not new to working out) and want to improve my grip strength etc. So would doing a load of pull ups every day or every other day help? How often should I do pull ups for them to be useful (over-training is bad too!)?

Doing a bunch of pull ups wont make you a better climber, it will just make you better at pull ups. There are plenty of high level climbers who can't do 30 pull ups. On the opposite end, I can crank out 100 pull ups, and I climb like sh#t.
Some people are genetic freaks, but for most, doing 90 pull ups everyday would just be a quick road to elbow tendonitis. Determining how much is over training is highly individual; everyone's body adapts differently. If I do high reps of pull ups more that a couple of times a week, my elbows feel it. For others, like your buddy, it sounds like its no problem. You'll just need to figure it out for yourself.
Obviously, anything that will make you stronger or more fit will improve your climbing, but only to a degree. Its more important to develop technique and strength that’s specific to climbing. If you want to get stronger for climbing, rather than just strong, you'd see more gains from a hangboard regimen or time in the climbing gym. Given that you are fairly new to climbing, I would be careful with the hangboard though. Its easy to get over-psyched, over train, and get injured.

5 miles paved, 5 fingers barely enough rain to escape the bill of a wide fetish hat and smear my glasses...
Well said, Cho!
When i climbed my best I could do a lot of pullups. So when I can do a lot of pullups it puts me in that mindset. More of a ritual then direct carry over, there are times it seems to help directly, though.
100 in one set, Steve? yow!

12.2 miles on the mountain bike... the catch was the 3120 feet of elevation gain. Two margs down so I don't care at this point.

I am in awe of people who do high volume pull ups. My right elbow flares up if I do too many of them, even assisted with a band.
No time for cardio today so I did 21-15-9 reps of heavy deadlifts, moderate overhead squats, for time. That burned forearms AND grip in just under 11 minutes.
I find being able to do pullups useful when bouldering in the gym, where I need to match on a hold, chin up to it then lock off one arm and then hopefully reach the next hold with the other arm.
I am nowhere near trying that move outside, on lead, mind you ;)

Ha! In one set? No, not even close. My record for unbroken kipping/butterfly pullups is just over 30. 31 or 32 I think. Strict pullups, around 25 or so.
Got 3 CF workouts in this week. One had 81 pullups in it. It was 100 ft of walking lunges followed by 21 pullups and 21 sit ups. The next set was 100 ft of walking lunges followed by 18 pullups and 18 sit ups. The same sequence repeated itself with the pu's and su's decreasing by 3 each time. The final set was 6 of each. It took me just over 10 min.
There's a somewhat obscure fist crack that widens into arm bars somewhere in the desert calling my name for today. Tomorrow is tbd still.
Whoa Lisa. 21-15-9 of dead lifts & oh squats? Sounds like a brutal combo!

It is spring, isn't it?
I think long wide are cracks are perfect cardio exercises, take the Steck Salathe, for example....
Not wide, but i led and then toproped quarter of a man three times in rapid succession once in an effort to train climbing muscle groups in an aerobic mode....
