These protocols are used to structure climbing training based on measured force output.
Weighted Block Protocols train climbing-specific finger strength using a lifting block, loading pin, and weight plates.
The block can be used for active finger curls, where the fingers move under load, or fixed-grip lifts, where the fingers hold the same position throughout the rep.
Each protocol explains how to choose an edge, set your grip, and select a working load for each hand. When loads are prescribed as a percentage of Peak Load, use the reference you establish with that same block, edge, and movement.
