Opis:
I improved my finger strength and possibly contact strength with these exercises from kung fu! I haven't done much training for climbing, so possibly anything would've worked as I'm nowhere near a plateau. However, going from +20kg when hangboarding to +26kg in 4 weeks with just three 5 minute sessions a week does sound like a lot to me. Kung fu has well over 1000 years of experience with conditioning the fingers, it's the inspiration for the now popular rice bucket exercises, so perhaps there are some more things we can learn as climbers?
