(Couldn't find a relevant enough topic to tag this onto.) I was playing around on the BM2K this evening (mid bouldering session) and it became apparent that my left hand is considerably weaker than my right.I could one-hand hang the low central edge for 3-4 sec with my RH, but only about 1.5 sec with my left. Is anyone else as imbalanced as this?This got me thinking about whether or not one arm is worked more than the other when doing two handed hangs. Will the left be trained more because it's trying to keep up or will it be the right as it may be doing all the work? I haven't really done any proper fingerboarding before, but I'm wondering whether it would be better to train the hands individually?
(I'm also stronger in my left leg and my left arm. Funny enough, I'm right-handed).
so you can fuck unlock the front door with your right.
Well, you learn something every day.
At first read that doesnt sound like much of an imbalance to me... maybe slightly more comfortable on one side than another... its not as if you can only hang one side with 10kg added and the other with 20 etc...
I always wondered about the equality of load when doing 2 handed hangs as well because I would assume that the stronger arm compensates for the weaker one. The question is whether than leads to an even larger imbalance or simple both arms getting stronger in unison but slightly offset.
Which hand did you use your 5mm edge with?
