Love Training On This Board.
This board is great. I've been climbing for almost a year and decided I wanted to train for some harder routes, since I get pumped through half a pitch at 5.10a. The training routines on Metolius' website make this a great training aid for a beginner up to highly experienced climbers. I am a beer guzzling 220 lb slob (little to no muscle) and this board is completely solid when I hang and bounce around trying to switch grips... just make sure you follow the install directions. If you've never had to locate a stud or don't know what a stud finder is, you may need to get a friend to help you out.
Leads to good improvement
The outside jugs are great when my partner and I are working core, and I'm looking forward to trying the slopey parts and eventually the smaller holes and the shallower holes. It's not as big as the other board Metolius makes, but I don't think I'm missing anything. Once you find studs and mount some plywood, I would only recommend using a drill to mount the board if you have a very long bit; the screw holes are inside some rather small finger holes and we had trouble with the chuck of the drill bumping the board as the screw got further in. Alternatively, work those forearm muscles and do it by hand!
Excellent Product
We're new to the climbing world (just started about 4 months ago) and have a very long way to go before we can hang with the big boys at our climbing gym... I purchased this product in November and after a few weeks of hanging, we have noticed definite improvement in our grip strength! The quality is excellent (it's way heavier than you think), great texture, and feels very secure when installed properly to the studs (we used additional deck screws for added security). Since we're newbies, we've only been able to use the bigger/deeper holds but I have no doubt that this board will help us continue our progress.
Perfect for building strength
This hangboard is perfect for people working on their finger strength for the first time. I'm honestly still using the deepest, easiest holds and have so many options to progress through on this board.
Best strength builder
This hang board has done wonders for my fingers, forearms, shoulders and back. Metolius has 10 minute sequences for this board on their website and after a month of doing them, I was able to do 30 pulls ups from my original max of 10-12. My crimps have gotten a lot better and I feel a lot more confident bouldering outdoors now because of this board. THIS WILL SERIOUSLY ELEVATE YOUR CLIMBING FOR ONLY 10 MINUTES A DAY
Does the job!
You'll definitely get stronger hangin from this bad boy. Its a good size, and mounts easily. I still prefer a wood one (saves your skin a bit, lighter/more portable) but I really have no complaints about this hangboard. PLEASE, if you are new to climbing consider gaining some finger strength through actual climbing before putting yourself through a rigorous hangboard protocol, otherwise annoying injuries are likely! Happy climbing!!!!
I should have bought one of these years ago!
I’ve been meaning to get a hang board for a couple years now and finally pulled the trigger last month. I put it above the door between my kitchen and living room. I primarily use it for the top two jug holds to do pull ups, hangs, and leg raises. As a rule, during the way I do pull ups every time I enter my living room. My strength has increased a TON in such a short time just casually doing pull-ups and hangs throughout the day. One word of warming, though, be careful when using a hangboard. I casually hung from the small two-finger pockets and just as I went to pull up, I ruptured my A2 pulley, something that has never happened to me before from climbing. Hang boards can really put a lot more tension on your fingers than a typical climbing session would, so use it responsibility.
So Far So Good?
My wife got this for me as a Christmas present. I saw it at a friends house and I'm always looking for new workout ideas and he showed me some cool moves and general core exercises you can do. Had a little difficulty installing just because some of the boards in my house are old and hard(crackling while screwing in). But it seems to hold up quite well considering I'm about 220+(mostly muscle of course)! I am looking forward to developing strength and endurance in my arms and back.
Awesome
Needed something to fill the gaps in climbing sessions. So mounted this bad boy above a door and can't walk by it with out busting out a set or two.
Great Workout At Home
Bought this for grip practice at home between sessions at the gym and I love it! It has everything a beginner/intermediate climber could need. Love the jugs on top for easy pull ups and the varying depths of pockets for harder practice. I mounted over a doorway using a piece of 4 foot 1"x6". Feels sturdy and works great!
