That also kinda sounded weird. We've got a small (~20 guys and gals), but rather experienced cave with average climber doing bouldering&sport 8a (top guys doing 8b+ boulder and 8c sport)-> with more than 15 years of experice as average. And the concensus is that the open hand is much less accident prone. We might be wrong, but would really like to hear something to back this up. Personally I don't want to full crimp at all, and open crimp when absolutely necessary. I've got some arthiritis and my finger joints really don't like crimping.

I have had two pulley injuries while using a crimp grip and none while using an open handed drag. Pro climber Dave MacLeod had a string of pulley injuries from relying on crimps as a younger climber, whereas he avoided pulley injuries after getting stronger in the open hand positions.
@Cacovangor4 жыл бұрын
The rationale is lack of engagement of muscle to protect connective tissues and smaller muscle groups during training. This is not about the pulleys to my knowledge, which a more open position should load less.
@franz12614 жыл бұрын
Tom specifically mentiones that in steeper terrain open hand is weaker/less reliable and focus should therefore lie on crimp training. But I doubt that this is true ... see Dave MacLeods video on this topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJaudmiMfZpgp8k

@@emilwrisberg Yeah, I haven't even heard about anyone hurting finger with open hand. With crimping, just pick a guy. Everyone at some point has atleast had a pulley problem. And it kinda makes sense as I started thinking about this yesterday. As primates our hands are designed for pulling from tree branches in pretty much open handed position. Also if one thinks about the crimping, you are basically putting force against the first joint on it's maximum "opening". vs on open hand you are just pulling on optimum direction regarding the joint.

Great channel, subscribed. You don't talk about elbow engagement and also it looks at least like you (and the models in the app) are hanging straight on the holds. I am guessing you keep the elbows engaged, but not visible too much... Where as in other 'how-to-hangboard' videos or training books, the slightly bend or engaged elbow position is emphasized to minimize strain in the elbow tendons. Interestingly I found that it puts more strain on my elbow tendons to have an exaggerated elbow position while hangboarding. Opinion?

In relation to hanging on skeleton. I think it's about engaging lower traps to protect and support rotator cuff muscles. If you do isolated exercises for lower traps and they are strong they keep your posture correct and they support correct function of rotator cuff and scapula control. It's definitely worth to engage them like demonstrated whilst hangboarding to make them work and create good habit. Also hanging so relaxed like demonstrated here with incorrect technique of exercise and without legs involved makes breathing more difficult and I like to breathe.🙂

Ive been climbing on and off., mostly off, for 28 years, and mostly have stuck to the 5.10/low 11 range most of that time. This off season i decided to set a goal of climbing 12s regularly by summer (and up my crack game, another topic) To do this I've started projecting at the gym high 11/12/13 as I can Most of my climbing volume is around high 10s and mid 11s though. With this I've introduced 2x daily hangboard sessions. Nothing to failure and sticking to 10second hangs with various grips for now. My question: I am very concerned with finger/pulley injuries as they've put me out for long periods with minor strains in the past. This is the primary reason I've introduced the fingerboard. So in your experience how long do you think i should keep at this lower intensity lower duration hangs for now before i can start cranking safely on my fingers?

What do I do if when I hang fully out straight, with my hips below my shoulders and I chronic shoulder instability on the right shoulder? The only way I feel that I can do dead hangs is with my hips forward. I've had over 50 dislocations over a 2 decade period. I do a lot of calisthenic work outs to make my shoulder strong and stable, but iam still afraid that it will pop if I hang fully straightened out. I can boulder 6b+/6c. Occasionally I find moves I have to avoid and occasionally when I slip a foot and fall I will pop that shoulder. Any advice will be greatly appreciated ❤️

Is it possible to get a finger injury from overloading in an open-3 drag position? Ive had a pain in the middle joint of my ring finger for ages now and can't figure out what's injured or how it happened. It's on the back of the joint, which I find strange (not palm side) and have zero pain when pressing on my tendons. Have you come across anything like this before? Cheers!
@danielfry80974 жыл бұрын
Hi Tom. So. I've had a right ring finger amputation at the second joint. During the surgeries that led to the amputation, they took a tendon from my right middle finger to attempt to repair the ring finger. The result of this is that my right middle finger end joint cannot go into a crimp position. I can full crimp with that hand, but the middle finger can never engage in crimp position, so I'm kind of one finger crimping with my pointer and like pressing down with the top of my middle finger.. If that makes sense. My middle finger maintains a kind of claw like position. I have almost always just drag gripped the times I've committed to hangboarding for a reasonable duration, and in this lockdown madness am getting back into hangboarding a few times a week again. I guess I have a few questions I've often wondered about when it comes to training with my fairly unique situation: If I can't half crimp on my right hand, is it better to have a half crimp left and open hand 2 finger drag right (this is kind of difficult and I think puts uneven weight across both hands)? If I'm half crimping left should I be full crimping right? What sort of gains am I missing out on by predominantly open handing when training? Should I full crimp hang more often because I can't half crimp? I usually do 2 sets of 5 ~8s 3(and 2) finger drag hangs then 1 set of 5 ~6s full crimp hangs. Can climb about 24 Aussie grades with some work.
@chaozzah4 жыл бұрын
So, what is the plan if you simply can't do the hangs in half crimp? Once I apply my weight, I simply fold down to open hand. I'd have to go to less than 50% body weight and I am still not sure I could manage. I've been climbing for a year so it's not like I have no strenght. So do I try to force the half crimp with reduced body weight, or just go for open hand?

Any advice on improving sloper grip on hangboards? I have to do one hand at a time with the other on a jug (using BM 1000), because if i try to deadhang from both, i slide off. So i'll have one hand on a slope and the other a jug, alternating and stabilising in the doorframe with my feet so i don't twist. It's really frustrating, my hand position does not change, it's engaged but i still slide if i go for both hands. I don't have this problem after a bouldering session, when i sometimes try the slopers before getting changed (I'm not doing a proper hangboard sesh at this time, just burning out the forearms a bit more before heading home); I can deadhang with both hands on the slopers for a few seconds. The 3rd mistake is something from this vid i do need to work on, this is a good reminder.

Ryan Lafferty would not want to do so many sessions of almost anything a week because once you are more than a 3/4 routine you have to have sessions on back to back days in which the first day you do not recover enough from to gain much and the second day you do not have the capacity to work hard enough. This is especially true of connective tissues.

Cacovangor thanks for your advice...without my normal job I can break from my rigid weekday schedule, so I’d always give myself a full day off fingerboarding between sessions and still get 4 a week (a day and a half by switching between morning/night sessions).
