Ask HN: What's your hobby?

I don't really have any right now. When I get home from work, I just spend the rest of my evening in bed reading stuff on my phone or laptop.

I'm trying to develop enough upper body strength to start bouldering. I have a pullup bar, but it's slow progress.

You develop upper body strength just by doing bouldering. Seriously, don't wait until you think you have enough, just go out and do it. It may feel foolish at first but you will pick up technique which won't happen on a pull up bar or hangboard

Definitely agree. Bouldering is not about upper body strength until you reach a certain level. It's mostly about technique and placement
