Whether you’re an intermediate or advanced climber, these top three finger exercises will help take your climbing to the next level. We’ll also answer some misconceptions about finger training and tell you how to rest properly after a training session so you’re ready for your next climbing session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The golden rule is to refrain from training finger strength within your first year of climbing. Tendons and ligaments take a long time to strengthen, so finger exercises are only recommended once you’ve been climbing for a while. Coincidingly, they also take a long time to heal, so it’s best to wait until you’re sure you’re ready. For absolute beginners, practice your technique, and the finger strength will come as you climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, though, who knows your body better than yourself? If you are determined to start finger training before it’s recommended, the best thing you can do is take it slow. Do one finger training session a week and avoid climbing a few days after to give your muscles a proper rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
