Program Overview
The Max Hangs protocol is the gold standard for developing maximum finger strength in climbers. Based on Eva LĂłpez's research, this protocol uses high-intensity, low-volume hangs to target maximum recruitment and develop the specific strength needed for hard climbing moves.
Unlike repeaters or other endurance-focused protocols, max hangs prioritize quality over quantity, making them ideal for climbers looking to break through strength plateaus and tackle harder grades.
