So a friend just gave me a hangboard and I'm excited to incorporate it into my climbing. It's a metolius simulator and I've printed their training plans. I'm curious how I go about incorporating this training into my climbing routine?

Currently I climb ~3 times a week, combination of gym (bouldering and ropes) and outside (mostly sport). Do I do hangboard on non-climbing days? On climbing days? Instead of climbing days?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Cheers,
James

Edit:
Update after my first session. So I completed my first workout today. I did the 10 minute basic workout from the metolius program. I have mixed feelings. Most of them were super easy and a few were very tough, so that's good I suppose in terms of identifying weakness. Overall, it didn't feel like enough of a workout. 15 minutes or so afterwards I felt totally fine and strong enough to in theory go through the workout again. So I suppose this means I have to either add weight, or move to the intermediate program?

This is a very good question, and I've been wondering the same thing, and the amount/style of climbing sounds about the same. If I'm at a gym, I will sometimes fininsh off with a hangboard routine. However, if I'm climbing heavy outside 2-3 times a week, I don't think I can afford time for a hangboard. I think I would need to simply either focus on training, or focus on climbing. Mixing the two doesn't seem to work. If there are ways to do so, I'd like to hear about it.

I doubt these workouts are that intense.

A lot has been posted about this stuff already, if you do a search you'll find some stuff.
