Learn four essential fingerboard training protocols to improve your climbing strength and endurance from the article found in the link in bio!

Everyone has heard about building their pyramid, but what does that actually look like on an person to person basis, and how do you balance this with projecting?
・・・
In the recent Road to the Pyramid chat with Coach @eric_horst, I was reminded of the importance of aerobic training even in the “off season”... the lack of which I’ve definitely been feeling as I try longer routes this spring. For more of Eric’s sound wisdom and specific training protocols for route-climbing season, check out the full episode on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, or wherever your pod. Bonus stuff over on Patreon!

Warming up is easy when you know how! Here’s 3 s

Warming up is easy when you know how! Here’s 3 steps to a quick and easy finger warm up at the crag! 🤌⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Repeater pulls⁣
⁣
Grab a sling and a lifting edge, like the MXEdge Lift or Mini Bar.⁣
⁣
Hook the sling around your foot and complete several reps and sets on each arm, gradually building up the force on each set. ⁣
⁣
The max effort on a single pull should be around 6/10 on the last set. ⁣
⁣
2️⃣ Max hang pulls⁣
⁣
This isn’t actually max effort, but a build-up from a 6/10 effort to an 8/10 effort on each pull. ⁣
⁣
Pull on the same edge in your chosen grip for around 10 seconds and complete a few sets on each arm with more rest between each set. ⁣
⁣
3️⃣ Get Specific ⁣
⁣
Before pulling on, check out the type of holds you will be using on your climb. You can use the same protocol as in step 2 but with different grip types. ⁣
⁣
If there are lots of small crimps on your chosen climb, complete some pulls in a crimp position using a smaller edge.⁣
⁣
If there are lots of pockets on your climb complete the same pulls using 1 or 2 fingers on the hold. ⁣

Almost every climber has some interaction with int

Almost every climber has some interaction with interior or exterior forearm pain. A key to mitigating, or preventing this can be deliberate training if the forearm antagonist muscles to counterbalance the usual muscles overused in climbing training. So if you are curious how to train the climbing antagonist muscles in your forearms? Here’s a brief biomechanical overview of the muscle interaction in the forearm.
