These protocols are used to structure climbing training based on measured force output.
Force-Measured Protocols use load-cell devices (e.g., Tindeq Progressor or similar tools) to prescribe intensity as a percentage of measured force.
Because load is anchored to individual Peak Load and Critical Force values, intensity becomes precise, repeatable, and objectively trackable over time.
The protocols target distinct performance qualities: maximal strength, sustainable force (endurance), and aerobic capacity.

AC-CFR
Active Curl Critical Force Repeaters
Develop Critical Force and repeatable submaximal finger force. Can also be used as a controlled substitute for sustained route climbing when suitable lead or autobelay training is unavailable.
