As others have mentioned, have ordered a ten or more acupressure rings as a set for about the cost of one of the branded rings, crimp oil or the spiky. Feeling is the same, but I have a bunch to then hand to people who inquire and often restock to keep distributing them. These increase blood flow to the tendons and are awesome for recovery and repair after any climbing session. Function is exactly the same as massaging your tendons, no sorcery here, but having a tool in the bag helps remind me to use the tool and therefore actually massage my tendons more. Also, the gripsavers are great for antagonistic training between or after finger intensive sessions. I basically never grab the ball except with my thumb, and instead “unlock” my hand after a particularly thin climb or hold set on a board. A ring, the medium gripsaver, 400 grit, climb on, athletic tape (only for torn skin), and ibuprofen will keep you successfully climbing longer and stronger than almost everyone else.
Skip the ibuprofen. NSAIDs have been shown to be detrimental to connective tissue blood supply and stiffness. An example paper: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2343237/?report=reader (NSAIDs are COX-2 inhibitors)
Hey! Sorry to bother but I am getting into climbing and I was wondering what you meant when you said "as long as you make sure you know what you're doing". I want to start trying these gear and I don't want to pick up bad habits. Thanks!
@@DídacOrtega-h2e holy shit this was five years ago?!? I’ve pretty much stopped climbing but I think the advice is true for most physical endeavors. Start off with low frequency AND intensity and gradually increase the frequency as your TENDONS adapt-takes longer than ur muscles. Don’t rush into training on edges you have no business using. That’s just a great way to get injured. Remember that most of ur training is still occurring on the wall, and that for now, hang boarding is an accessory to your training. Good luck man!
@@wolfemooney7188 Yeah! Thanks for the answer, I really appreciate it. I've been googleing about it and mostly they recommend introducing it more oftently as one gets more experienced. I am thinking about buying the Maxgrips; they seem very useful and flexible.
Those finger rings feel AMAZING. I have no idea if they actually prevent injury but they feel great and if your joints feel stiff this will make them feel better. again no idea if it actually helps with anything other than temporary pain relief
Yeh, those accupressure rings are great for injury pre-hab. I bought a bunch from amazon a long time ago, and find that when I strain my fingers too much or have tender areas (often), this rapidly makes them feel better and let me climb without getting a full blown injury.
uknownalias i have one too, and I’ve noticed it’s also really good to include with a finger warm up before you climb. Pull on some smaller holds for a while, run this along each finger, and pull again, and it decreases the time it takes to warm up (I’m impatient)
The acupuncture ring is awesome. I do it a couple times a day and my fingers feel perfect. Had a weird feeling in my pinky and it goes away within days. Great great feeling
The acupressure rings are great for working out sore, stiff fingers. Crimp Oil must be making a killing off them, though. You can pick up a ten pack online for $9 USD. Much better than the £6 each they're selling for on Crimp Oil's site.
I swear by acupuncture rings, it can help you heal, help you recover, and you can use it between climbs, it’s great, if you find a good price on one I’d suggest it
That zag board looks made of horrible polluting plastic that in not recyclacle instead of wood. I will not encourage the manufacturing of such petroleum derivate, so that's a pass.

Yup started finger boarding a week into climbing. Strength increased a ton. As long as you make sure you know what you’re doing, you’ll be fine.

Metolius project board is a very economic choice and as a 6~ range boulderer I’m very happy with what it offers!

LOL "so I'll show you my face" dying of laughter.

Got the beastmaker 2000 for Christmas, absolutely love training on it and tracking my progress
Forearm trainers are good but they didn’t remember to say that there are different resistance levels for different brands
The forearm trainer is great for road trips
Thank you for the video!👌
Can you do a video workout with sets and reps on the hanging board please?
Don't own one, but I really like the Iron Palm hangboard
Thanks a lot for all the info and suggestions 👍
Can you guys add time stamps so we can skip to items that interest us?
ikkeduitser here's the important bit 7:45
Probably not, because longer watch time = more money
@Erratum very
Irritated my A4 pulley in my middle finger the other day and just purchased the acupuncture ring, sooo guess I'll find out real soon
Alex Teoli what's the outcome?
It worked?
@@louisrutter9337 Who knows?
The acupuncture ring is awesome. I do it a couple times a day and my fingers feel perfect. Had a weird feeling in my pinky and it goes away within days. Great great feeling
surprised the regression board is not mentioned
This board doesn't seem to exist, on google.
my bad. its called the transgression board. they also make a progression board.
Regression board lolol.... perfect for when you've just given the sport up lol

love these, a friend left his in my truck coming back from 4 days in jtree. i just loop it in an quickdraw, ive never lost it
3:00 where can i get that !
Max grip is wyld!!
I swear by acupuncture rings, it can help you heal, help you recover, and you can use it between climbs, it’s great, if you find a good price on one I’d suggest it
4:00 definitely the best 10 seconds of the show ever haha
Ive been climbing for 2 and a half months but im curently on v5 boulders, at what point could i use a finger board
if your climbing at that level i would advise going for a beast maker 1000 i personally use it and it trains sloper as well
When you're not making any more progress from climbing alone.
How much is it the "max climbing" and Where to buy it?
4.10 when the doctor didn't use enough lube!!!!
1:46, ah the forearm trainer! I guess it can double as .... Never mind.
2:13 "Spend more money with us so you don't have to spend more money with us"
No. Pay the money you would have to pay anyway, but actually get something from it. In other words, free / massively discounted item.
Britain has banana fingers.
America has butter fingers
That zag board looks made of horrible polluting plastic that in not recyclacle instead of wood. I will not encourage the manufacturing of such petroleum derivate, so that's a pass.
Still just a bit of wood for €100
I've been doing the wrong fingerboard training...
you're so cute
