@graciet I seriously do not think a muscle up is a skill. It’s a simple stat check. I for myself am still having a beer belly and could do it. Now I can barely get 15 pull ups when rested (but clean ones at least) and the trick for me is always grip strength. As soon as I started to hangboard...

@bobbie1941 I'm getting the same impression as you do and btw the exercises you recommended are the ones he could already be doing but he went ahead and bought a beastmaker hangboard out of them all, a hangboard were even the easy hold feels nasty and everything else is terror on your fingers...

@stephanieloves2 I wouldn’t say anyone as people who go bouldering or climb for more than half a year and three times per week have generally stronger forearms and or fingers than most people even among the ones doing sports. In the end tendons and ligaments take more time to grow than muscle...

@stephanieloves2 This is what you get wrong. I've been in the same place as op before I started bouldering and there is almost no carry over from general pulling strength to the very specific finger strength. Like even the easiest rungs on my portable hangboard would blast OP's and other...

@stephanieloves2 He said that he is about to regularly go to a bouldering gym.

@marcia838 Dude you did the best you can do. OP himself and the majority of the advice will send him straight into tendon pop city. OP already bought a beastmaker despite not having been climbing or bouldering once, it really is doomed man. Let’s just be there when he asks for tendon rehab in...

@conspiracy_center Dude he hasn't even climbed a single fkin day. Repeaters are far too advanced. He should just climb for a half a year and not worry about repeaters, beastmaker-apps or any other hangboarding Protocol. Being able to do some calisthenics stuff doesn’t prepare your body for the...

@cece_lee16 Dude just fucking chill out you don’t need a beastmaker just yet all the harder holds on it are soooo mich above your level it ain’t even funny. Like you haven’t even bouldered or climbed so far. Your thinking will only lead to blown or torn tendons and golfers/tennis elbow. Go...

@wandaj Yeah but there is no point in doing so as the tendons just grow that slow. Your forearms will get enough stimulus through just bouldering all types of climbs. Hangboarding then puts too much stress on the elbow and finger tendons for someone that worked the office for more than a decade...

@wandaj But you usually only train finger strength once you’ve already climbed a bit as tendons and ligaments take time to grow. I would not recommend a beginner to just starting hangboarding. Simply climbing on all types of holds should be sufficient.

@cece_lee16 Remember to take it easy in the very beginning, three times a week and not leaving put vertical (slabs) or roof boulders should be just fine and plenty of stimulus. Even when being fit I promise you that the stress that bouldering puts on you doesn’t compare to anything you’ve ever...

@cece_lee16 Other people have already commented so I’ll chip in as well. First and foremost there’s not much carry over from pulling strength to finger strength. The term finger strength is not only including general forearm strength but also about bullet proof fingers because of strong...

@mattw I know you’re feeling yourself and that’s cool but getting fit and keeping yourself in shape is not a surrogate for church it is what it is. Don’t make it bigger than it is, don’t become obsessed and don’t take fitness or yourself too serious.
