jordansahls Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 All good info. I also think it's important to not overdo the crimps. The forces on the finger pulleys are 36 times higher in a crimp vs. open. That just astonishes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmo Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Looking for advice on how to strengthen my fingers, hands and forearms, specifically for climbing. I have been going to climbing gyms to do some bouldering and such and am severely lacking in the forearms, fingers and grip strength. Can anyone recommend some excercises/training aids? Are finger boards worth a try? Thanks! have you been climbing for a while? if not, i'd say just climb a bunch. your finger strength will improve as your general climbing improves; it's not all just about finger strength. oh and if you're overweight, losing lbs will be a much quicker and safer way to improve apparent finger strength.
