Training on a hangboard is a proven way to systematically increase finger strength in a controlled and safe way. However, spending hours hanging away can be extremely boring and difficult to motivate for. As a result, most hangboards become dusty wall decorations and never deliver the major finger strength gains they are capable of producing. Mary from Crux Crush wrote an article about the hangboard workout that works for her and how having a good hangboard workout routine makes motiving to use one a whole lot easier.
“I can’t tell you how many people I know who have hangboards but don’t really use them. Even I had mine for over a year before I really started reaping benefits from it. Then I was introduced to a hangboard routine that stuck. Taken largely from The Anderson Brothers (thank you!), this workout is great for intermediate to pro climbers who want to increase their finger strength.” – Mary
Next, Mary does a great job of breaking down how to effectively set up your hangboard with a pulley system and additional weights. Then, she breaks down the number of grips, reps, and sets in a clear and easy to understand way to make the workout as simply to follow as possible.
