One-arm hangs

In bouldering, "one-arm hangs" refer to a training exercise where the climber hangs from a hold using only one arm. This exercise helps improve grip strength, finger strength, and overall arm endurance. Climbers typically perform one-arm hangs on a hangboard or from a climbing hold. This exercise is valuable for enhancing the ability to hold difficult positions on the wall.

Examples

One-arm hangs involve suspending the body using just one hand on a hold. In a training session, Sasha practices one-arm hangs on a campus board to build finger strength. Meanwhile, Jamie uses one-arm hangs during a climbing session to assess his grip endurance on difficult routes. Mark finds one-arm hangs helpful on overhanging boulders where two hands are not an option due to physical constraints.
