Happy Fingers vs Wright's Gymnastics Usage & Stats

In the middle of the rush for applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning to training apps, #Happy Fingers wants you, rather than the machine, to be the one that actually learns something. Happy Fingers has the following goals: • Answering all of your questions related to finger training for climbing; • Carefully guiding you in the process of choosing some training method or grip type; • Describing how to warm up; how to hang or how to perform each program; • Teaching you how to control the load to ensure the desired effects; • Offering alternatives to keep from stalling; • Preventing injuries, overtraining and excessive fatigue in your forearms; • Describing different training methods and the optimal exercise for each circumstance; • Providing a range of training programs for each method, level and athletic goal to choose from. I’m Eva López; climbing is my passion and the topic of my doctoral thesis on Finger Endurance and Strength Training in Climbing. I developed Happy Fingers with the aim of making you the main character in your growth process, looking at the reasons behind any hitch you find while training, offering strategies to keep your motivation or progressing in the long run. Of course, your personal situation, objectives and needs will always be part of the equation. All of the above is based on the most up to date research and what I’ve learned along my 20+ years of observation, analysis and experimentation. I have adapted all that knowledge to the individual characteristics of every person I’ve trained, including myself, to refine and complete the process. Linking Science & Experience, relating Theory & Practice, Evidence-based Training, all describe this educational resource that will help you get the most out of your workouts and your climbs. I want to make clear that the Happy Fingers app does not automatically churn out training programs from some initial evaluation. It's best characterized as an interactive ebook full of information and advice, but it will never command you to follow some path without challenging it. Individualization is a staple of training, the Holy Grail. You decide. You’re on the driver’s seat. CONTENTS: 1. Before You Hang. 11. Are dead hangs for me? 1.2. Terminology. 1.3.
