Grip Conditioning

Registration for all classes opens 24 hours in advance.

Class Description: While pulling power gets you to the crux, it’s your fingers' ability to maintain tension that gets you to the top. Training your hands and forearms will help you crush your projects and avoid injury. Our 1-Hour Grip Conditioning class is targeted towards contact strength and forearm endurance. Using hangboards, free weights, eccentric loading, and antagonist drills to turn your hands into your most reliable tools.

  • Maximum Recruitment: Training the nervous system to engage every muscle fiber for "limit" holds.
  • Tendon Resilience: Building structural integrity in the A2 and A4 pulleys to handle aggressive crimping.
  • Antagonist Forearm Balance: Strengthening the extensors to prevent "climber’s elbow" and carpal stress.
  • Lactic Threshold: Increasing your "pump" ceiling so you can recover on marginal shakes.

The Strategy: A 10-minute targeted tendon warm-up, a 40-minute high-intensity grip circuit, and a 10-minute forearm recovery and mobility finisher.

All levels welcome.
