How to Increase Crimp Strength for Intermediate Climbers

Hooper's Beta Ep. 3

Note:

This is one of our early videos, before we started writing in-depth show notes to accompany each one. As we get this website dialed in we’ll be adding references to research for videos like this that don’t yet have any.

Description:

In this episode we discuss a training program for increasing crimp strength for the intermediate climber. We cover shoulder and grip position, style and duration of hangs, weight addition / reduction, as well as expected results.

Disclaimer:

As always, exercises are to be performed assuming your own risk and should not be done if you feel you are at risk for injury. See a medical professional if you have concerns before starting new exercises.
