This application is a sidekick to the beastmaker 1000 and 2000. It has been designed to assist the user into gradually getting stronger on a fingerboard. The app does this by way of prewritten workouts which are often general and aim to improve all trainable grips on the board. Some are specific (2000 series only at the moment) which aim to improve, sloper strength, pocket strength and crimp strength. There is also a new custom workout program fully adjustable and includes the 1000,2000 and micros, so if you have your own hang regime and different timings then that is all programmable and can be saved.Both the workouts and custom timer now record hang contraction time (time spent actually hanging off the board) We recommend most users get up to around 20:00 minutes on this clock whilst doing their workouts.On the Workout screen after youve selected your work out it is now possible to adjust set and hang times. Users who are only finger boarding and are having a rest day prior to and after training may wish to do up to 3 sets and 7 hangs. Other users may prefer to go for 2 sets and 6 hangs, this is what wed consider an average and more suited to people doing additional types of training.produced in conjunction with yaystudios.comPlease note the grades for the workouts arent actually meant to relate to anything other than themselves. E.G. 5c is easier than 6a but harder than 5b. If you find 5a hard on the 1000, use a weight removal technique such as putting one foot on a chair in front of the board or using a pulley with weights on. More advice on this and other things are available in the general advice section on the Workout Ratings page.To record your hangs press the record button (red circle icon) whilst resting. The Workout Ratings function is much improved and should now be a really useful training aid which records gradual progress and improvement.Fingerboard gains take time, remember to warm up thoroughly and move on to more difficult hangs at a slightly slower pace than you think you should to give pulleys time to catch up with muscles. For example 10% strength gains over a year is brilliant improvement. 5% is still effective training.Best of luck with the training, happy hanging and we hope this helps with the motivation.3.2.1 Supplemental- Fixed incorrect Total Hang Time in Ratings3.2NEW -> Editing Custom Workouts - add/edit/remove individual hangs when creating a new custom workoutNEW -> Individual hang rating is back!- tap REC button after any hang to rate it.

It's a modest fitness app, disappointing to find that it is lacking in general information of what the actual holds are. I feel as an app that comes at a premium this is very poor as it assumes you know what a four finger chisel is.

Good training app but could easily be made better. Needs an option to customise durations of hang and rest in the workouts so people can build up slowly rather than go straight into hard workouts.

It got worse. Doesn't work in the background, or when the screen is off, at all. No settings either.

Can't believe app won't keep running in the background. Resting and can't look at anything else on my phone, seems a bit of a basic oversight!

The app's OK, I bought it to psych me a bit so I use my fingerboard more often which I guess it's done so it's certainly not useless but the feature set is pretty basic. I'd certainly prefer to be able to at least build up my own saved workouts with the hold pictures etc which you'd have thought wasn't too difficult a feature to include?

The app is not worth that much money. You can not really set up own workups, instead of just configuring a hang timer. And the my workout section is just odd, why should I save every single hang? Makes more sense to ask after the workout.

Aesthetically this app has some poor formatting but this does not affect performance. I would love if they could implement a feature which could allow me to save custom workouts, including the little hand illustrations as a reminder for each exercise.
