Climbing For The Pros

What are good techniques for training arm tendons and ligaments?

I started rock climbing about a year ago and progressed pretty quickly but the tendons and ligaments in my arms have become a serious problem for me lately. They’re constantly sore and seem to be very injury prone. Are there any good techniques for training them, specifically the ones in the hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders?

buy a powerball for about £15
they are designed to repair ligaments in your lower arms and wrists aswell as building muscle
not so sure about the others tho

and weight training is also good but make sure your using very light wieghts or you could do more damage than good

also you could ask in your local gym for advice
