TRAINING BOARD
What is it actually?... and how am I supposed to use it? A training board is a "piece of rock" at your home which includes on a rather small area many possible grips variations which you can come across during real rock climbing. In case of lack of time for visiting rock climbing sites or climbing gyms you can still work on your fingers and hands strength by training on the board at home. It can be attached over the doorway. It offers a variety of possible grips, from easy ones for pull-ups to a difficult one-finger hang. There are holes, edges, slopes, jugs and pockets-a variety of holds that you can hang on. For every climber, whether intermediate, advanced or elite, hangboard training is one of the most proven and time-tested ways to break through a plateau. Finger-specific training isolates and improves forearm strength, and hangboards are a guaranteed way to give you strength gains like you’ve probably never seen before.
The entire process of making a training board is slow, tiring, time consuming and fragile. As any art it combines frustrations with triumphs. The prototype is carved in clay and then prepared for a molding process. Before the mold can be made a clay surface gets an adequate texture. The reverse reusable silicone form allows casting multiple times the same hangboard in resin.
