Develop your pinch
The Quad Block is a versatile, portable training tool designed to help climbers enhance their grip strength, focusing on the crucial pinch grips used in climbing. Developed with input from top coaches, physiotherapists, and sports scientists, this device offers four distinct pinch sizes—deep wide, shallow wide, deep narrow, and shallow narrow—allowing climbers to target specific muscle groups in the forearm and hand. Additionally, the Quad Block includes a 30mm lifting edge, perfect for beginners or those rehabilitating finger injuries, providing a comprehensive solution for grip strength training.
The Quad Block is a portable, aluminum pinch block designed to help climbers improve their grip strength across a range of hold sizes. Developed with input from top coaches, pro climbers, physiotherapists, grip strength athletes, and sports scientists, it offers four different pinch sizes that specifically engage the key forearm and hand flexor muscles used in climbing. Whether you’re training at home or in the gym, the Quad Block is an essential tool for developing a balanced grip system that prepares you for any pinch hold. Additionally, the Quad Block includes a 30mm lifting edge, for performing pick-ups and warming-up.
Repeatable design for accurate testing and training
One of the key benefits of the Quad Block is its anodised aluminum finish, which provides consistent surface friction every session. Unlike wood, which can vary in texture depending on environmental factors such as humidity, temperature, and skin moisture, the aluminum finish ensures reliable, repeatable results. It might feel more challenging to lift, but the reduced reliance on friction ensures that your test results reflect your finger strength rather than the grip of your skin. The device also features mechanical depth stoppers, which guarantee that your fingers are positioned consistently every time, further enhancing the reliability of your training.
Kind to skin
The Quad Block is kind to your skin, making it ideal for climbers who need to manage skin wear during intense training sessions. The cool-to-the-touch aluminium surface is gentler on the skin compared to traditional wooden blocks, allowing you to maintain your training routine even when your skin is fatigued or sore. Chalk doesn’t ingress into the device over time as it does with wood and is easy to wipe clean after training.
The perfect companions
The Lifting Pin and Fractional Weight Plates are the perfect companions for the Quad Block, allowing you to precisely adjust the load to achieve the perfect intensity for your training. The Lifting Pin provides a secure and convenient way to add or remove weight, while the Fractional Weight Plates enable you to make incremental adjustments, ensuring you can progressively increase the intensity as you build strength.
