In this video, we will use the Tindeq Progressor to measure finger strength in unique ways: "curling" and "Pulling." The "Curling" method will give us our "true" finger strength numbers as it most accurately reflects the muscles of the fingers in isolation. The "Pulling" method will reflect the fingers' total ability to resist. The force numbers and levels will be greater because the force numbers are coming from the muscles and surrounding structures of the fingers. Both are important! But both are uniquely tested and trained! After this video, you will better understand how to target and improve both qualities of the fingers! - - - - - - - - - - - Product/Service Links: If you want to work with Dr. Nelson to rehab an injury, click the link below. https://c4hpschedule.as.me/ If you want to work with one of our coaches, click the link below. https://www.camp4humanperformance.com/ Support the show Thank you for listening!

In this episode the Camp 4 team sits down to discuss in-season training. What should we be doing when the weather opens up for outdoor climbing? We should be doing:  Things that help translate our hard earned offseason strengths into climbing specific workMaintaining our force output through strategic exercise choiceManaging fatigue week-to-week so that we can arrive to the crag FRESH! This is done through strategic exercise selection as well as contraction type in those exercises. We also discuss how velocity training, or training at higher speeds of movement, can be a "hack" to maintaining our strength while transitioning that strength to movement that will enhance our on wall performance too. Ideally with velocity based training we know exactly how fast we are moving so that we can specifically understand if we are moving too fast or too slow, and so we can see when our velocity significantly drops off. The drop-off indicates fatigue as set in and we should end that set or session. Tools to track that speed and give realtime feedback are no longer $1000s of dollars! One of the tools we use the most in our C4HP training and assessments is the Vitruve Encoder. This devices will give you real time feedback on movement velocity on a user friendly app to help you level-up your training and coaching. At only $400 it is one of the cheapest ways to gain the edge you need to become a more powerful climber. And ending Nov. 20th Vitruve is giving C4P listeners at 15% discount on their device!

The Camp 4 Team sits down to discuss the "WHY" behind flexibility and mobility for rock climbing. The team talks about stretching, strength training, sets, reps, but most importantly key principles to remember and include to get the most out of your training. Key principles like understanding that stretching and flexibility training for the sake of flexibility training is not meant for everyone.  Doing things blindly, or because a friend is doing it, can be misleading and slowing down your personal journey... To dive deeper into flexibility and mobility training, consider joining the online Mobility Course hosted by coach Collin. The course is December 3rd at 11am EST. Participants will receive the prerecorded content ahead of time to learn and watch at their own pace. On the 3rd, a live discussion will be hosted by Coach Collin to clarify concepts and answer individual questions! Spots are limited so please register now at the link below!

Dr. Tyler Nelson has been assessing finger strength for many years now. After some continuing education he recently went through a new light bulb flashed over his head. This light bulb leads to an addition on the Camp 4 Performance Assessment to identify the threshold of your muscle's peak recruitment. This is different from your maximal loadable weight that you can hang with on your fingers. Understanding this difference leads to more effective strength training with less fatigue to your body. This style of strength training is also more transferrable to actually climbing that traditional max weighted hangs.
