That's a massive amount of endurance work which WILL DEFINITELY WORK MASSIVELY AGAINST YOUR STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT. There's no doubt about it.

Do you have a specific goal with all the endurance work?

Also, like Steven said, there's going to be major imbalances there, with all that pressing and no pulling.

You say you're going to be doing some climbing, soon? The best climbers have massive pulling strength and most of them have very low pressing and lower body strength. Why aren't you preparing for your climbing by doing pull-ups, weighted pull-ups, towel pull-ups, muscle-ups, et cetera. Is the arm injury preventing you from doing that? If so, will it not also prevent you from climbing?
