my shoulders have been properly cooked lately

Been noticing my shoulder endurance is just gone halfway through a session. Like I'll be on something sustained, crimpy, feeling decent, and then suddenly my arms are just... toast. Not pumped exactly, more like dead weight. It's annoying because my fingers are fine and my head's in it. Talked to someone at the wall about it and they reckoned it might just be accumulated fatigue — I've been projecting the same overhang stuff for like three weeks without a proper rest block. Which, fair enough, I probably don't rest enough in general. I'm not sure if it's a volume thing or if I need to actually work on shoulder specific stuff between sessions. I do basically zero rotator cuff maintenance and I know that's bad lol. Might look into adding something short after sessions rather than just collapsing on the mat. Anyone who's dealt with this kind of shoulder fatigue specifically from climbing — was it just rest or did you actually have to change something?

do you do any kind of warmup before getting on the overhang stuff or just straight into it

face pulls and band pull-aparts sorted my shoulder endurance massively, took a few weeks to notice but worth adding in on rest days

stupid question but does that dead weight feeling kick in at a specific point or just randomly mid-climb

I already commented but the accumulated fatigue thing is real, I pushed through for weeks once and had to take nearly two weeks off completely
