Grip trainers

A strong grip is the silent engine of a climber’s success. It allows you to hold on when everything else is failing. While on-wall climbing is the best training, dedicated grip training with specific tools can help you develop the muscle endurance and raw power needed for hard sends.

At BoulderFlash, we have brought together a collection of the best grip trainers to help you build powerful, injury-resistant hands and forearms.

Our range includes a variety of tools that target different aspects of your grip. The YY Mini Crux and YY Climbing Balls are excellent for building open-hand and pinch strength. These are crucial for tackling slopers and wide pinches.

The YY Twin Cylinders are another fantastic option for working on your pinch strength with a varied feel. For those looking to work on their pulling power, the Lattice Heavy Roller is a great tool for building forearm and finger strength. It’s an ideal addition to any home training setup.

We also offer tools that focus on the health and conditioning of your hands. The Metolius Grip Saver is a well-known product that helps to balance the muscles in your hands and fingers, which is key for preventing common climbing injuries.

The Forearm Training Rings are another simple but effective way to improve your forearm endurance. Our YY Vertical Climbing Rings are perfect for building pulling strength and stability.

Using a grip trainer is a smart way to supplement your regular climbing training plans. They allow you to target specific weaknesses and work on your grip when you’re away from the wall. Don’t forget the chalk to go with them. Our Mag Chalk Chunky Orange is a great choice.

By incorporating these tools into your routine, you can make significant gains. This will help you to tackle harder grades and climb for longer. Take a look at our full range of finger strength gear for more great training ideas. A little extra work can make a huge difference to your climbing.
