How Strong Are Your Fingers? This Is Our Testing Method Explained

We've spent a lot of years testing finger strength - and when we say a lot - we mean over 500,000 seconds of deadhang data collected from climbers all over the world! We have tested climbers all the way from the "pros" like Alex Megos, Alex Honnold and Magnus Midtbø, to amateur weekend warriors all the way up to 70 years old. We use all of the testing as part of our initial process of working with a new athlete or client, which means it's a well tested process and also one that's relevant to lots of climbers out there. If you're interested in reading our peer reviewed paper about the validity and reliability of testing with our Lattice Testing Rung (yup, we actually take the time to do the research as we care that it makes sense and is a quality tool!) you can find the link at the bottom.

In this video, Tom takes you through the following key items that are reuiqred for testing or need to be thought about before or whilst collecting data.

1. The best equipment to use to allow reliable, valid and repeatable results.
2. How to prepare your test rung
3. Body position and testing single arm
4. Body position and testing 2 arm
5. Results to record which you finish testing
