There are 3 main methods of warming up with a Stone Hanger, depending on what gear is available to you:

1. Dynamic pulls

  • Finger curls with a resistance band.
  • Start light and progress the load.
  • Begin with open hand --> half crimp --> full crimp.
  • 5-8 reps, 2-3 sets for both hands for each hold position.

2. Body-weight pulls

  • Attach the hangboard with a sling above your head.
  • Keep your feet planted for support.
  • Start with longer hangs with low intensity.
  • Progress to shorter hangs with higher intensity. 

3. Isometric pulls

  • Important: start with low weights: 10-20kg
  • Use a lifting pin and weight plates.
  • Lift for 5-10sec and rest for minimum 45sec per hand.
  • Perform 5-8 reps for each hands position

Our tools are designed for progressive overload and long-term improvement. Your grip, skin and finger strength will develop and improve over time. Warm-ups are designed to prepare you for a climbing sessions but also as a prehab and injury prevention tool.
