Grip Strength
Grip Training For Rock Climbing
Having the strength in your forearms and hands to hold you to a rock wall is of serious importance to your having a great day of climbing. If your arms are tiring long before they should be, you have got to start exercising them to be more able to increase endurance and help support you. There are a number of exercises that can be used to strengthen the grip that are important to climbers.
Being able to have access to a pull-up bar or something similar, you can use it to hang by only your finger tips. Allow your full weight to hang from the bar and hold for as long as you can, it would be best to hold on until you are unable to hang anymore and your fingers slide off the bar. Pull-ups need to also be a part of your workout. Pull-ups are the best upper body exercise you can do that somewhat mimics climbing.
If you can already do alot of pull-ups and you feel you have adequate upper body strength, you should try weighted hangs and pull-ups to add to the intensity of hanging. While holding a weight in one hand hang by the other for added difficulty, then change to the other arm.
You need to make sure you exercise your thumb as well. If you have some hand grippers, squeeze them with the tip of your thumb on one handle and the finger tips on the other. This will make it harder to squeeze and will condition your thumb better than using them the regular way. Do some sort of grip strength exercises at least twice a week and you will see your grip strength come pretty quick.
