But I do use it to finish off a good workout.

I have a block that I can put my toes on to take some of the weight off my fingers, and I just burn out my forearms by going from small holds to large until they’re toast. Does wonders for your grip strength.

I'm still working on being able to crank off enough chin-ups with a bar grip to be respectable. I'm not quite ready for a fingerboard. Aha! that’s what I figured it was for.

Finger strength and open hand strength (as opposed to a grip that encircles a bar) are developed with a fingerboard or hangboard.

I started using it in my training in order to help my climbing, as many boulder problems have tiny holds.

Ultimately, I’d love to be able to crank off some fingertip pullups just to be able to say that I can, kind of like a one handed pullup or handstand push-ups.

In reality, it’s my way of fighting the aging process.

I'm assuming it adds strength to the hands while doing chinups/pullups? Rather than using a fist say to grip a bar?<br/>If so, very interesting idea. What exactly is the purpose of the fingerboard?

If so, very interesting idea.
