A selfmade dynamometer board
I bought a tindeq Progressor 500 a few weeks ago. The idea is to measure my peak strength in my fingers once a week. And to plan my finger strength training based on this data. It has proven to be practical to carry out the measurement with the Tindeq in the same way as training with a loading or lifting pin. I therefore needed a board on which I could stand and attach the dynamometer.
Specifications of the board
I had seen similar self-made boards on a course once by Gabriel Prange and also on a course by Flavio Martines in Boulderklub Kreuzberg. Flavio is also the founder of skaloclimbing.
Professional boards are also commercially available. For example the Measuring Platform for Dynamometers or the Force Board Home Platform.
I made my board from the 21 mm thick plywood left over from my adjustable home climbing wall project. The board is 34 cm deep. And 60 cm wide. That is the width of a normal yoga mat. There is a 12 mm hole in the middle of the board and I attached a T-Nut under the hole. I screwed an elevation underneath in all four corners.
