thread about warming up for fingerboarding
Is the value of this home workout severely deminished or is the fact that you are putting in the same effort levels as the 10s hang down the wall the important bit.
... plus, if you go to a the wall to warm up for a fingerboard session there is something seriously wrong!
To simplify, if I can lift 100kg when perfectly warmed up down the gym and that is trying 100%, is there a 20% reduction in value if I do the same at home but due to an imperfect warmup I can only manage 80kg when giving 100%.If the effort of the muscles is 100% each time would it stimulate the same adaptation or is the actual weight the only really important part.
1. It's perfectly possible to warm up and have a good fingerboard session at home.

Perhaps I need to try all the ways people have given in the other thread.
I have to say that I have never felt like screaming makes me try any harder or do any better.
Its accepted that quality is more important than quantity when it comes to strength and power training but I have always wondered how much difference it makes when you try as hard as you can but simply cannot achieve your maximum output.I imagine that most people would be able to perform better in a fingerboard workout if they had warmed up by climbing for a while beforehand. The vast majority of climbers don't have this luxury so we try and warm up at home by doing whatever gets us going (see thread about warming up for fingerboarding).
With a sub-optimal warm up the likelihood that you can have the best workout possible is reduced even if you are trying as hard as you can. E.g when fully warmed up perfectly you can one arm hang the beastmaker centre slot for 10s yet at home you can only do it for 3s. Is the value of this home workout severely deminished or is the fact that you are putting in the same effort levels as the 10s hang down the wall the important bit.
Perhaps I am just pants at warming up for a fingerboard session but this is something that I have wondered for a while.
At home I'm usually grunting and shouting some variation on COME ON YOU F*CKING C*NT! when things are getting a bit trying.
if I go to the wall to do my fb workout I know I give slightly less effort than at home because I'm self-conscious about being too vocal to give max effort in the wall with loads of punters and kids around.At home I'm usually grunting and shouting some variation on COME ON YOU F*CKING C*NT! when things are getting a bit trying.
