We can all agree finger strength is the No.1 attribute for climbing performance...😅
It's no wonder everybody talks about finger strength training and the endless training sessions and tools that exist, but this can also make it a bit overwhelming 😥 when it comes to knowing what is best?!
We thought it would be great to sit down with some of the best climbers 🧗 in the UK (and who have some of the strongest fingers! 💪) to ask them a few questions. We unravel their years of experience and wisdom 👴 to uncover some important lessons, which we can all learn from.
What was really nice about this set of mini-interviews is that some common themes emerged and actually made finger strength training start to sound quite simple 🙂. So if you want to skip ahead 10 years of finger strength training you need to watch this video 👀
The questions I asked were:
1️⃣ What is your overall approach/theme to finger strength training?
2️⃣ What is your favourite exercise for finger strength?
3️⃣ What is one thing you've learned that you can pass on to us?
4️⃣ What is one mistake you've made that we should avoid?

Having two of literally the best outdoor boulderers in the entire world be this accessible is unheard of in any other sport. I love climbing and the community it creates

To be fair they probably don't make a bunch of money, so doing some quick videos to get free coaching is probably quite nice for them.

Definitely enjoyed the interview format! I'd be interested to see one focused on heel hooks in all their nuances...technique, training, etc...or a broader focal point of maximizing weight onto the feet in general - seems like a nuanced topic with the potential for great insights from experience!

Would love to see more of these. I think what really helps are the good relevant questions but also the wide variety of climbers you've asked. Could have one episode themed on projecting, how people approach problems/routes they want to do, and how they troubleshoot moves etc

Amazing format, would love to see more like that. It’s very interesting, maybe it would be nice to give your perspective on all answers on each question. As example, it’s interesting to notice that for several questions they all had kind of the same answer. For the first one consistency came back pretty much by everyone. And so on. PS: i loved the funny abilities such as “to be better than Olie…”

60 something climber here. My fingers are my limiting factor in how often i can climb. My concern with peeps doing really hard finger strength training in their 20s is they might be setting up for worn out fingers in their 60s 70s 80s when they still want to be climbing as much as possible.

Im not a climber (yet. Got some nerve damage from my second session ever lol). I figured you can do finger strength with a resistance band. Stand on it and you can pull as progressively hard as you need. You can do individual fingers too. Actually feels bettwr than doing all at the same time

@oliverkjelso4192 3 ай бұрын

Sick video and great information:) It would also be very interesting to focus on how the average climber can apply this to their training since there may be quite a gap in knowlegde, time and ressources between pro athletes and the average climber:)

I have pretty strong fingers I think, I can do mono or two finger crimps on climbs when necessary, and people say I have strong fingers. I think the best way to train finger strength is to climb outdoors a lot, and to climb climbs that make you try hard. Not necessarily projecting, but climb a lot of climbs, particularly at or near your maximum onsight/flash grade. Don't forget to try a grade harder every couple climbs to avoid overtraining at one grade (once you onsight a grade higher, switch up a grade in your training). Nothing trains your fingers and crimps like climbing outside. Also don't injure yourself: back off if you're feeling exhausted, don't train to failure. In fact... This is pretty much how one would improve as a climber in general :)

@bbd1254 3 ай бұрын

When you say finger strength, are you referring to strength, as in the ability to hold/pull your body weight easier? Or like endurance? Or is that one and the same? I’m pretty new to climbing so forgive the silly question. Haha

@InspiredPhotons 3 ай бұрын

Hopefully the pros answer - but I've used a gyro ball for years as a low level intensity tool....I think ARCing or easy volume climbing is probably better if you have the wall to do it. Anyway, I think the idea is to increase blood flow for increased recovery. Enough aerobic stimulation also leads to increased capillary density over the long term...that said, a lot of this is happening in the forearm muscles - at the level of the fingers you're probably increasing fluid exchange to help the healing process (nutrients in, waste out). Just my two cents FWIW.
