How to Strengthen Forearms for Rock Climbing

Rock climbing demands exceptional forearm strength and endurance. Here's how to strengthen forearms for rock climbing:

1. Fingerboard Training

   • How to Do It: Hang from a fingerboard using various grips and hold for different durations. Incorporate pull-ups and hangs into your routine.
   • Benefits: Targets the finger flexors and forearm muscles used in climbing.

2. Climbing-Specific Exercises

   • Towel Pull-Ups: Drape a towel over a pull-up bar and perform pull-ups. This increases grip strength and mimics the grip used in climbing.
   • Rice Bucket Training: Plunge your hands into a bucket of rice and perform gripping, squeezing, and twisting motions.
