Is the Beastmaker app worth it?
Overall 3/5 The official Beastmaker app looks great and comes with a bunch of pre-made workouts that can be helpful if you’re brand new and don’t know where to start. Unfortunately it misses a few tricks. Not being able to edit custom workouts or make custom versions of pre-made ones is really limiting.
How do you train with Beastmaker?
You essentially have two main methods of training finger strength: Max hangs of around 10 seconds duration with lots of rest between each hang. Repeaters of around 7 seconds duration, with short rests, in a set of 5 or 6 hangs. Choose a hold/grip type that you feel needs improving.
How do you train a fingerboard?
A basic fingerboard exercise
- Use a decent-sized hold with 4 fingers (open handed) on each hand.
- Hang for 7 seconds, rest for 3 seconds.
- Rest for 3 mins, repeat 2 or 3 times.
- Hang with a slight bend in the arm, at least ‘engaging’ the arms a little: hanging purely on the elbow and shoulder joints leads to injury.
Can you fingerboard everyday?
Hangboarding every day would result in injuries to your fingers and hands due to overstressing the tendons, pulleys, and bones. For intermediate and beginner hangboard users, two times a week is plenty, but you can do up to three as long as you stop at the first sign of finger pain.
What is the difference between Beastmaker 1000 and 2000?

How much is Hangboard training?
A few rough rules of thumb: 1. If you’re new to hangboard training, then two moderate sessions per week is plenty, in addition to a day or two of actual climbing. 2. Advanced (and healthy) climbers may do up to five sessions per week, but with only two of these sessions being maximum-weight workouts.
How often should you finger board?
Intensive fingerboard training should be limited to just two days per week—three at most, if you are doing no other climbing—and, ideally, as a supplement to climbing rather than a replacement for actual climbing.
How many sets of Max hangs?
The protocol is to complete 13-second hangs at increasing weight until you reach a weight that causes failure in 10-13 seconds. Plan to rest 3-5 minutes between each and every hang, and attempt to find the correct weight within 6 attempts.
How often should I fingerboard?
How effective is Hangboarding?
Hangboard training can be one of the most effective supplemental training exercises for increasing strength, but it won’t make you a better climber and it can be distracting to a detrimental degree, especially for new climbers. Climbing grades are not a 1:1 correlation for increase in performance or ability.
How many max hang sessions a week?
two sessions
They deserve their own session with their own warm-up and cool-down. If you want to build serious finger strength, do two sessions of max hangs per week, and separate those sessions by at least 48 to 72 hours.
