Doing nothing for a warm up is like taking a road trip on a quarter tank of gas…and too much intensity for a warm up may leave you overly fatigued before the fun even happens!

Did you know you don’t have to "hang" on your fingers to increase their strength?

When training finger strength off the wall, the goal is to improve muscle size, recruitment, and connective tissue stiffness. To do this effectively, it’s essential to understand an athlete's current peak force, often referred to as their one-rep max (1RM).

One of the most enduring questions in sports performance is this: How do we get our strength training adaptations to transfer to our sport?

While finger strength often gets the spotlight, the ability to generate quick, high force through your hands, or contact strength, is what can make the difference in your climbing

As a coach and climber, I’ve spent years exploring and refining the best approaches to training finger strength.

As a climber and coach, I've spent countless hours talking with athletes about finger strength training.

Incorporating BFR into your routine can be as simple as doing one or two sessions a week during a training cycle.

Understanding the difference between active recruitment and passive tension in finger training has the potential to unlock new levels of performance, especially for climbers who feel they've plateaued.

Whether you’re pushing V14s or working through your first 5.10, training smarter is often the key to unlocking better performance, not necessarily training harder.
