I’m really struggling to gain upper body strength for climbing, even by lifting weights for 10-20 minutes every day and upping protein intake. Anyone got tips for building strength quickly? Do I want more reps or more weight? Is there something in my diet I should make sure I cut or include?

Lifting every day might be over doing it, the body needs time to recover. A couple training routines I (very roughly) follow are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHHEKcfVIsg&t=1276s (less weights, more pullups) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkhYCgJ65lg&t=560s (deadlift, bench, etc.)

Also board climbing (moonboard, spray wall, etc) has been hugely beneficial for me.
