After all, fingerboards for training had been around for at least a decade before Dan Varian and Ned Feehally set up their company but somehow, these new boys managed to revolutionise their niche industry.

In the remaining sections, Ned also clearly explains when training one-armed is helpful and why sometimes it's not such a great idea. Although Beastmaker continues to build and rebuild training equipment, Feehally has more recently focused his efforts on a training book. Jędrzej also enjoys playing the electric guitar, baduk, and reading articles on the science of sports training. According to Ned, there's no "one-size-fits-all" approach to climbing training - everybody is different and needs to find their unique way of training. My hangboard has sat idle since I purchased it but this book has inspired me to start hang boarding again.For more experienced climbers, the book is still extremely useful and contains lots of information and insights that were certainly new to me, as well as giving new ideas fpor where to take your training next. It's a combination of the most efficient training methods out there, synthesized into specific training plans for your personal goal!
