Thanks again, I’m gonna pull those holds out today at the gym and put 200% to my future projects.

Danny, looking forward to the beers in the deep south.

C. The size of the edges are hard to determine, I sanded them down quite a bit so the edges wouldn’t dig into my skin and I could put more force and focus on my contact strength. Two things will make you weaker, one is when you grab an edge that has ’side walls’ like a drilled pocket. Those walls give you a tighter fit and more friction, not actually making you squeeze tighter. Wolfgang never used pockets to train, but Action Direct is full of them. The second thing that will make you weaker and not stronger is a sharp edge, the edge is what keeps you hanging on, not your strength, so if you build something, sand it down a ton, make it round and you will receive higher gains.

Will, I like to train on my hangboard 3-4 days per week. But I’m usually outside climbing, so my schedule has been WAY out of whack over the last few years. Until now. My goal is to train 4 days per week and my workouts rarely less than 25 minutes, but I don’t go beyond 45 minutes. Depending on what you want to train for determines what a work out looks like. Right now, I’m trying to up my contact strength, so I am doing heavier loads, fewer hangs and less time. 3-5 seconds with weight.

Also, I avoid doing too many pull ups. I see a lot of people getting board stiff with deadhangs and start doing a pile of pull ups on the bigger holds. This will only hurt your elbows and not make you that much stronger. Use weight to get you stronger. I promise, you won’t GROW much bigger, but you will gain power.

Let me know if this helps and if you need any more info.

Thanks

Get em’ Pa!!!

2nd would be Billy Idol, and 3rd, likely Bruce Springsteen.
