Frequently Asked Questions

Which training aids are suitable for climbing beginners?▾

For beginners, simple training boards with large edges, pull-up bars and training balls for forearm training are particularly suitable. A moderate start with a focus on technique and regular, short sessions is important to avoid overloading.

What is a hangboard and how is it used correctly?▾

A hangboard is a training board with various grip edges and holes that is mounted on the wall. It is used for targeted finger strength and contact training. Proper use includes thorough warming up, controlled hanging with straight or slightly bent arms, and a gradual increase in load.

How can I effectively design my grip strength training at home?▾

Effective grip strength training at home can be achieved with a hangboard, finger trainers, grip balls and systematic exercises such as dead hangs, repeaters and max hangs. Regular sessions, sufficient recovery and clean execution are crucial.

Which training aids are suitable for finger strength training?▾

For finger strength training, hangboards with various edge depths, training boards, pinch blocks and finger trainers are particularly suitable. Brands like Beastmaker, Metolius and Moon Climbing offer graduated systems for different performance levels.

How often should you train with climbing training aids?▾

For most ambitious climbers, two to three short, high-quality sessions per week are optimal. At least 48 hours of recovery between intensive finger strength sessions is important to give tendons and ligaments sufficient time to adapt and to avoid overloading.

Which training aids are suitable for children and adolescents?▾

For children and adolescents, training boards with large, easy-to-grip edges, light grip balls and playful training aids are particularly suitable. Training should always be age-appropriate, not too intensive, and supervised, as tendons and joints are still developing.

Are training aids also suitable for training without a climbing wall?▾

Yes, many training aids such as hangboards, training boards, pinch blocks and finger trainers are specifically designed for training without a climbing wall. They can be mounted on door frames, wall brackets or freestanding frames and enable effective home training.

What should I consider when mounting training boards?▾

When mounting a training board, a stable, load-bearing wall or a suitable door frame, high-quality anchors and screws, and a level alignment are crucial. In addition, there should be sufficient clearance above and to the sides of the board so that training exercises can be performed safely and without restriction.
