thats a good looking garage

This was a very useful and informative video, clearly presented. Many thanks.

Really enjoy your content and thought process.  I'm interested in incorporating this routine into my training.

Tyler Nelson is nodding approvingly somewhere :D

Thanks for the video, great timing as I'm going to start adding finger curls to my routine. When should you aim to hit your target vs hitting and holding for a set amount of time? I suppose more of a repeater style hold.

I have the nug and trained using the approach Lattice posted of that awesome competitive lifter and his pulling training 4x a week for 2 months while i did zero climbing during a shoulder injury, and it did basically nothing... :( nothing against the nug, just questioning pulls especially when you're not also climbing to just maintain and build on top of what youre maintaining.

how long have you been doing this program and what results have you seen so far?

How does this compare to overcoming isometrics strict half crimp pulling and or block pulls

Can you do this protocol with a 3 finger drag grip? Or does that not really work with finger curling?

Dope Prana cap! I got the exact same one on a bouldering trip in Spain.
This type of finger training has highlighted a huge weakness in my game as I'm way stronger in a static isometric than when doing these concentric type of movements. In the region of around 55kg in yielding versus about 20kg on overcoming. Think I've got that terminology right, someone will no doubt correct me if not.

I think so much of the gains people get comes down to sleep, nutrition, hormones, recovery, that kind of thing. People hyper-optimise the actual pulling, which gets kind of silly...if you put intensity and volume into the forearm, it will work as a stimulus. I think the climbing world really neglects the rest of this.

Dave MacLeod does a good job being honest about this...he almost never says "do this with your fingers", he is always pretty honest about how your entire lifestyle matters. It definitely makes for a less exciting video, but it's the truth.

You can slam your body with stimulus all you want, but if you have severely low free testosterone (for whatever reason...nutrient deficiency, very poor sleep, thyroid issues, whatever), you just aren't going to see the results you see on YouTube. The best climbers are hyper-responders to this stuff, their results for the same stimulus are not going to match yours.

For finger curls wouldn't it be better to use free wights instead of the tindec? this way one would actually be curling.

Random question. How big is your shed and how does it only have one rafter in the middle? Did you build it?  Great video by the way!

Did you test your 1RM with curling too? Or is it lifting max?

When is the ideal time to do this kind of training? Would you also do this on a rest day in between sessions?

when standing on the plate, I wonder if you could lift yourself up above the ground...

The hardest part of showing friends how to do proper overcoming isometrics is conveying the importance of not ego lifting for big numbers by leaning back or raising your shoulders, and having your fingers open up. It really bothers people that their finger curl numbers aren't anywhere near their max hang numbers. If anything the lower numbers (compared to max hangs) is a feature not a bug, since you're getting same or better stimulus with less intensity put through your connective tissue, the latter of which you'd rather "spend" on actual sport-specific practice, anyway.

You didn’t like using the repeaters function in the tindeq app? I guess it’s not necessary, but I found it much easier to hit the desired force range as the app highlights it.

is your dip joint hyperextended when you do this?
