Posture exercises relevant to climbers 9-May-2013 At 5:07:13 PM plumb-bob

I've been suffering from some pain in my neck and shoulders lately, including sharp headaches in my temple and shoulder tendonitis. I also have terrible posture.

After reading a lot of information in climbing forums about 'doing push ups' to build the opposing muscles, I came across the below video that better explains that the real issue is likely to be with lat tension (from pull-ups and climbing) and pec tension from my poor posture and lack of bicep stretching.

Although I won't stop doing push-ups, I will focus on doing dumbell presses, dumbell rows, and pec minor stretches to try to balance out my posture a bit and hopefully it will relieve some my issues.

I thought it may be of interest to some peeps on here:
