Below you will find an introductory workout for the Rock Prodigy Pivot, designed to familiarize you with the orientations and rotations of the board while providing a starting point for your hangboard training. This workout groups training movements into sets based on orientation, and is designed to allow you to re-orient the board in the rest period between sets.

Remember, hangboard training is strenuous and places significant strain on fingers, tendons, and shoulders. We recommend climbers fully warm up shoulders, arms, and fingers, and approach strenuous grips with caution. Exercise care on challenging movements and consider pairing the below workout with a pulley system to effectively and repeatably reduce weight and maximize training efficiency.
