Handcels need to start rock climbing ASAP

Everything Ever Said About Alex Honnold's Hands

A passionate, sometimes uncomfortable ode to the meatiest paws in the world (other people's words, not ours)

www.outsideonline.com

Extract from the article:

HONNOLD: Yeah, I have pretty big fingers, so it’s hard to get it into a thin crack.

LOGAN: Show me.

HONNOLD: Uh. [Lifts hands]

LOGAN: Were they like this before you started climbing? [Grabs hands delicately]

HONNOLD: I don’t think they were quite as big before I started climbing. I think that—I honestly think my connective tissue and stuff is like, um, they’ve just all gotten beefier, you know? I think it’s all the crack climbing torquing your fingers in different ways.

Stills from this interview:

Read the article if you want to swallow the handpill even more because those quotes are some of the mildest in the article

the handpill is brutal
my left one is bigger than the right cause of the stress put by playing a lot of guitar during development

Every cm matter.

Yeah I use them too at 60kg restistance, but I'm mainly doing that for grip strength for pull ups

I've read best way to use grip trainers for hands is do like 5 reps, then 6th hold it for literally as long as you can, making sure to release as slowly as you can also
