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 Level: V5 (Font 6C/6C+)

Experience: 2–3 years

1. Test Summary

Test ComponentValue
Test MethodLift-Off Block (Half Crimp)
Edge DepthNot specified
Bodyweight68.0 kg
Right Hand Peak Load58.0 kg
Left Hand Peak Load59.0 kg
Hang Time5 seconds
Pull-Up TestNot performed

2. Finger Strength Index (FSI)

FSI: 65 / 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 (left: 59.0 kg), your FSI score of 65 supports bouldering in the V5–V6 (6C–7A) range, which aligns closely with your current climbing level.

Interpretation: Your finger strength appears well developed for your current level. Your results suggest a balanced base of finger strength that supports harder climbing — particularly if paired with efficient movement and recovery ability. Continued gains may come from edge-specific work and timed hangs.

3. Pull-Up Strength Index (PSI)

PSI: Not included

No pull-up test was performed. A pull-up test can help determine if your upper body pulling power is in line with your finger strength and climbing demands — especially if you're exploring steeper or more dynamic problems.

You’re in a strong position to push forward. With more targeted loading and smaller edge work, you’re likely to see fast improvements — especially if recovery and climbing volume are dialed in.

5. Training Recommendations

Keep your finger training specific, brief, and progressive. Let it supplement your climbing — not compete with it. On heavy climbing weeks, reduce intensity or volume accordingly.

Primary Focus: Max Strength + Capacity at Smaller Edges

  • Max Hangs – 20mm Edge:
    3–5 sets of 5–6 seconds at 80–90% of max effort
    Use bodyweight or small added load
    2x per week
    Full rest between sets (2–3 min)

  • Repeaters – 20–25mm Edge:
    6 reps: 7s on / 3s off × 2–3 sets
    Use bodyweight only
    1–2x per week

  • Lift-Off Refinement:
    3 sets of 3 controlled lifts per arm
    Use 85–90% of tested peak load
    1x per week
    Focus on control, grip initiation, and stability

6. Next Steps

  • Re-test in 6–8 weeks to monitor progress in FSI
  • Try training on a 15mm edge as strength improves
  • Optional: Add pull-up test to complete profile
