A Pull-Up Bar for Home Use to Build Arm, Shoulder and Back Strength
While pull-ups aren’t a prerequisite to becoming a great climber, a pull-up bar remains a fundamental training tool for strengthening the arms, upper body, and back muscles, such as the lats, trapezius, teres major, and supraspinatus. Building muscle strength will help reduce fatigue during climbing sessions and allow you to power through when your technique falls short.
The Best Wooden Hangboards for Finger Training at Home
Next to the pull-up bar, a climbing hangboard is an essential tool for climbers to train their fingers. Mounted on the wall, a hangboard allows not only for standard pull-ups but also specific training movements on different types of holds: slopers, edges, micro edges of varying depths, and angled holds. You can strengthen your fingers by working on your entire hand or targeting specific fingers. Who hasn’t dreamed of performing a one-finger, one-arm pull-up like the strongest climbers on the circuit?
Tip: Always warm up your fingers thoroughly before starting a hangboard session, as this type of training can lead to injuries in the pulleys and tendons.
Many hangboards can also be used with resistance bands for assisted pull-ups, making them suitable for all skill levels. Some models even come with removable spacers to reduce the depth of the holds and increase the difficulty.
How to Mount Your Climbing Hangboard
Hangboards come with pre-drilled holes for wall mounting. Simply secure them using strong screws and appropriate hardware. However, avoid drywall, as it cannot withstand the forces applied. Instead, mount your hangboard on cinder block, concrete, or wood for optimal durability and safety.
Suspended Training Tools for Specific Home Exercises
In addition to hangboards, you can enhance your workout routine with various suspended training tools. The instability created by mobile straps requires greater core engagement and precision in your movements to maintain proper balance and a well-placed centre of gravity.
