Flexor Tendon Pulley Loading
Flexor tendon pulley loading rises with crimps and dynamic grabs—progress hangs and climbing contacts gradually so tendons adapt before pulleys fail.
Flexor tendon pulley loading describes how finger flexor tendons bowstring against pulleys when you grip—highest on crimps, dynamic grabs, and one-finger pockets on steep terrain. Tendons stiffen with consistent submaximal hangs; pulleys fail when force jumps faster than adaptation after layoffs or grade chasing.
Track contacts per week and hardest grip type, not just session length or V-grade touched once.
Common questions
-
Are tendons or pulleys the limiting factor?
Both—flexor tendons need time under tension to strengthen; pulleys tear when force exceeds current capacity. Open-hand volume builds tendons with lower pulley peak force.
