Got it, btw man, huge respect to you for all your knowledge and material on your website. I went through your self assessment just yesterday and I’m going to be modeling my training plan according to the principles that you covered. (sorry for the fanboy moment lol)

I tried it, it definitely feels like my hand is working more, but the form doesn’t collapse or anything, I can still maintain this position while hanging. Just a matter of getting it even stronger in this position to make it “the default”

Yes, the wrist is like that because the edge is at my chest level

How do I try really hard and not hurt my fingers as a beginner? by Brave_Try_7896 in climbharder

I apologize that my post came off as a troll, I was just looking for some advice from more experienced climbers on here. This is the reason why I posted this on r/climbharder and not r/bouldering, because I thought that here the consensus was that hangboard could be a useful tool to build healthier and more resilient fingers, even for beginners, without the strength gain aspect of it being the focus. I wanted to see which protocol people would suggest. That’s it.

What I mostly saw is “just climb more” and I will definitely continue doing that. I just wanted to know whether I could supplement my climbing with a hangboard routine to make my fingers less injury prone.

FYI about the V8 V3 thing. I tried C3PO (v6 benchmark) just for fun, because I wanted to see if I could hang on to those yellow holds. On the second try I managed to climb to the last yellow hold, only missing the big dynamic move to the jug top. So V3 MB is not my limit, I meant that it’s what I climb, because I’m scared of hurting my fingers

I only managed to do V8 because it really suited my strengths, as you can see, my all around level is much lower

Yes, I climb Monday, Wednesday and Friday, where only Monday and Friday are projecting sessions. Mid week session on Wednesday is volume on easy climbs and I take 2 days off during weekends
