Finger Strength Report

Understand your limits. Train with purpose.

This report gives you a detailed analysis of your current finger strength and pulling power — and how they relate to your climbing performance.

Whether you used a hangboard or a lift-off test (like a Tindeq or lifting block), your results are translated into a clear Finger Strength Index (FSI) and, if applicable, a Pull-Up Strength Index (PSI). These scores are easy to track over time and benchmark against your climbing goals.

More importantly, you’ll get tailored training recommendations based on your profile — how strong your fingers are, how much you climb, and where you want to go next.

This isn’t just data — it’s a roadmap for becoming a stronger, more capable climber.

Climbing Performance Report

Client Name: Alexander Frandsen

Test Date: 24 February 2025

Climber Type: Bouldering

Age: 33

Climbing Level: V3 (Font 6A/6A+)

Experience: Less than one year

1. Test Summary

Test ComponentValue
Test MethodLift-Off Block (Half Crimp)
Edge DepthNot specified
Bodyweight71.0 kg
Right Hand Peak Load40.0 kg
Left Hand Peak Load35.0 kg
Hang Time5 seconds
Pull-Up TestNot performed

2. Finger Strength Index (FSI)

FSI: 44 / 100 (Lift-Off Block)

This score reflects your maximum one-arm peak force using a lift-off block in a half-crimp grip. Based on your stronger hand (right: 40.0 kg), your FSI score of 44 suggests that your finger strength is developing — appropriate for your climbing level and short experience span.

Interpretation: You're climbing well within your current strength range. With a consistent training routine and increased edge-specific loading, you can expect to see clear gains in control and performance within 1–2 training blocks.

3. Pull-Up Strength Index (PSI)

PSI: Not included

No pull-up test was performed. For newer climbers, upper body pulling strength often develops alongside finger strength. A future pull-up test will help round out your strength profile and track overall pulling capacity.

Overall BalanceNew climber profileStrength and skill building in progress

You're off to a great start. Focus on consistent climbing and light finger strength work to improve durability, grip confidence, and control — especially on overhangs and small holds.

5. Training Recommendations

Build strength progressively and avoid overloading fingers too early. Use supportive tools if needed, and allow recovery time between sessions.

Primary Focus: Foundational Strength & Load Tolerance

  • Max Hangs – 25mm Edge:
    3 sets of 5–6 seconds at bodyweight or slight support
    Use two-arm hangs or feet-assisted variations
    1–2x per week
    Full rest between sets (2–3 min)

  • Repeaters – 25mm Edge:
    5 reps: 7s on / 3s off × 2 sets
    Use bodyweight only or rubber band support
    1x per week

  • Lift-Off Practice:
    2–3 sets of 2–3 reps per hand
    Use 70–80% of peak load for control work
    1x per week

6. Next Steps

  • Re-test in 6–8 weeks to assess improvement
  • Introduce a 20mm edge when 25mm is solid
  • Optional: Add pull-up test to monitor pulling strength
