fingerboards
October 03, 2004, 05:49:29 pm
right can any one give me the low down on what's hot and what's not in the world of fingerboards. i had a holdz one but then sold it and tried to make my own but basically it was shit. i am tempted by the white petit brother one that entreprises do but have never seen one in real life so have my reservations.

has any one ever had a go on one?

the other one i liked the look of was the rockworks large rack.

any other models that i should check out?

You just need a simple one - maybe 5 or 6 sets of holds that vary your grip.

I found that when I was doing a lot of hangboard workouts I started out trying to use all the holds, but quickly figured out that only the small crimps and bad slopers did anything useful, and even then I sacked the small crimps off after a month for a much smaller doorjam..
