I was curious to know if you have done any research on hand muscle developement in active rock climbers? Did they only develop the closing grip (forearm) side or did climbing balance both sides. I am a climber, and am becoming worried that my forearms are getting a lot of work but the tendons and muscles on the topside of them are rarely very sore. And I work out a lot so I understand the importance of balance.

@DenyInsorgere :

Great observation. Yes, I have seen many climbers that develop hand muscle imbalance & we have done sEMG studies to show how active finger flexors are as well as finger extensors. We work with Metolius in the climbing market to distribute Gripsaver Plus by Metolius. You can easily get a complete balanced workout that will prepare you best for climbing. Search 'Metolius Climbing'. We have also just posted a very complete video on YouTube. Search 'Rock Climber Hand Exercise'

Very informative. I wasn't completely aware of the importance of the opening muscles of the hand in grip strength.

@iceblue4u :

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, the finger extensor muscles are key grip stabilizer muscles in any grip activity. Traditionally, there has been very little attention to these muscles (since the use of rice box exercise). It is why so many grip activities see fatigue, cramping, extensor tendonitis, and tennis elbow.

Best,

Uhh to pass through the useless info and product. So train forearm?

[doczac]

@wilsonseto1 :

When u have seen as many performance problems and hand, wrist and elbow imbalance as I have, you might understand my need to eductae people about the the muscles on the front and BACK of the forearm... or did you already know that before our sEMG research? Attitudes like yours are what keep us from progressing. If you participate in a grip activity, you might want to try to open up your mind and grow.

Best,

doczac

So you're telling people that squeezing a tennis balls is wrong, and then you're selling them a fancy tennis ball to squeeze.

Right on man.

[derekli04]

@staphinfection

Squeezing them ONLY is bad I believe he said. 

[user90745]

@staphinfection You didn't listen to what he said did you...

@doczac I actually just ordered the Handmaster Plus but I'll look into seeing an ART therapist. Thanks for the advice!
