Learn a simple, yet effective training method for developing a stronger pinch grip for bouldering and rock climbing. (This will also strengthen your thumb-lock for "closed crimp" gripping small holds.) The pinch-grip Repeater training protocol explained by Coach Hörst involves doing 3 sets of Repeaters (each set is a 7-second pinch done 6 times with each hand). Equipment featured in this video includes "The Block" by Tension Climbing and a free-weight loading pin by Rogue Fitness. tensionclimbing.com/product/the-block
