1️⃣ The most important muscle we have for climbing is the Flexor Digitorum Profundus (FDP) because it allows us to flex out fingers. 👌
2️⃣ The FDP has some unique anatomical features that we learn about in this video, including the fact that it is innervated by two nerves! 💪
3️⃣ This video also includes some tips on how to train the FDP, when the FDP is most used in climbing, as well as an illustration of what it looks like. 🧗‍
4️⃣ Keep an eye out for our upcoming in-depth video on FDP injuries and how to rehab them! 🎥
