All you need to know for perfect RFD measurements with Tindeq Progressor!
Instructional video included!
Rate of Force Development (RFD), often termed contact strength, is a highly critical factor determining your climbing performance.
Knowing your RFD is essential if you want to train effectively and keep progressing as a lead climber or boulderer!
In this article, you’ll find everything you need to know to measure and evaluate and your finger RFD practically with the Tindeq Progressor!
Sport Climbing Level Calculator – Automatic Climbing Assessment!
The Sport Climbing Level Calculator is a tool designed to automatically evaluate the athlete’s physical sport climbing performance.
The tool evaluates the athlete’s finger strength and endurance and outputs an assessment report with training recommendations tailored to the climber’s performance profile.
Amateur climbers can use the calculator to learn what their sport climbing level should be compared with other similarly strong climbers. Then, using the calculator, the climber can easily design their training plan.
Coaches will find the Sport Climbing Level Calculator helpful in assessing their clients and quickly designing a draft of their training regimen.

The best hangboard endurance training for rock climbing – Pyramids
Functional spreadsheet with Endurance Repeaters Pyramids training cycle included!
The Endurance Repeaters Pyramids is a very flexible exercise for building aerobic and anaerobic endurance required for high-level sport and trad climbing.
By appropriately controlling the training load and training volume, we can target the following:
- Lactic capacity
- Anaerobic threshold
- Maximum oxygen consumption
- Aerobic threshold
I’ve been successfully using the Endurance Repeaters Pyramids training method with my clients for years, obtaining significant improvements in Critical Force, which translated directly to sport climbing performance. Please try this technique and let me know your results!
Ketogenic diet for rock climbers – pros and cons – review
Climbing is a sport where the strength-to-weight and power-to-weight ratios are critical for success. Therefore, climbers understandably strive to minimize their weight while maintaining lean muscle mass, high performance, and overall well-being.
In this post, I summarize the current scientific knowledge regarding the positive and negative impact of the ketogenic diet on sports and climbing performance.
Finger strength measurements for rock climbers made easy!
Instructional video included!
If you’re serious about training for climbing, monitoring your progress, and making the most out of your hangboard training, you need to have a clear finger strength benchmark.
In this article, you’ll find all you need to make accurate and reliable maximum finger strength tests that can later serve as a solid benchmark for designing your own finger strength and forearm endurance training drills and in-depth climbing data analysis.
As a bonus, you’ll also find a super helpful calculator to convert any weighted hang to an MVC-7 measurement and an instructional video to get you step-by-step through the testing process!
How to test rock climbing finger endurance – simple guide
Instructional video included!
Endurance is the most elusive quality in rock climbing. How can some climbers power through unending sequences of hard moves without breaking a sweat, while others end up pumped before they even get to the crux? The answer is aerobic endurance, or in other words, Critical Force.
Read this article to learn how to make simple and reliable rock climbing endurance measurements using a hangboard. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to identify and address your weaknesses to break your sport climbing plateau!
