There are a couple of other key factors altering the difficulty of the 45 degree slopers. The first is the amount of residue on the board - boards in commercial gyms have a lot more oil from lots of hands touching them. They are actually easier than clean boards. The second is humidity which you did mention, but in fact, the reality is counterintuitive. These slopers are significantly easier to hang as the humidity goes up. My best efforts have been when it's pouring rain.
It depends on the skin, if the skin is soft it's easier I can only hang it if I wash my hands and without put chalk. If you have dry skin from antiydral it is impossible 👍
I have found working the bad slopers into a consistent timed session difficult as I usually require an attempt or two to start repeaters. I’ve added in two additional repetitions into my set to account for this.
Super hard to measure! For the Middle-One-Arm my Beastmaker is 23mm if you measure from the top part of the incut staight down. But if you push the ruler parallel to the surface on which the fingers are, it's 22mm (it's because of the rounding inside the hold) -- For left and right Crimp mine is between 14,5mm and 15mm, depending on which part of the rounding you are measuring. I'll measure again with a calliper... greeting from Vorarlberg
Maybe your index and pinky are proportionally weak, since you feel strong on two finger pockets and spin while hanging one handed. I had that issue, trained those fingers separately for a while and it didn't happen again
Hey mani !! It’s been a while since you posted something!!! Hope you are well !! I just got a beast maker 2000 and mesure the size edges And the rounding seems enormous !!! So it is in fact not really that deeep !! Can you get a picture from the side so we can see your rounding edges on the small 13mm ? Can I send a picture so you can see mine ??
Good, informative video! I noticed your camera angle wasn't completely level with the hangboard, that might affect the measurement reading a tiny bit as well. I'm quite sold on the beastmaker now, I think I'll buy it once I have my self-standing hangboard built.
Check out @taqizulkifli doing a one arm pull up on the sloper. OK, he got his thumb wrapped round the side, but still, that kind of contact strength is amazing. instagram.com/p/BSJaXvLh6P8/
Dominic B the reason I have found for this is usually other parts of the hand fitting into the pockets underneath due to how the hand more naturally curves with one pad. If you instead use all three pads, you hang too far off to make any slight use of the pockets.
Mani, which do you find more effective for outside hard climbing: hangboarding on small tiny crimps or slopers? Obviously a combination of both is idea but I'd like to hear your opinion.
I'm no expert but I've heard that training your weaknesses is always the best. I think the three finger open hand grip trains quite nicely for slopers and saves your pulley tendons in the long run when you learn to avoid crimping all the time.
regarding the size of the holds: the problem is your measuring device! It is incredibly inaccurate when it comes to millimeters. The result of your measurement would be 22mm PLUS MINUS 1mm (at least) which means it could be either 21mm or 23mm.
Folks will note grades and years, but this is all relative to if contact strength is a limiting factor and your ability to get into the gym. Overall if contemplating hangboarding as a means of progress, there are a tremendous amount of holds on other handboards, namely significantly incut rails and jugs, which are not valuable to work whereas all holds on the beastmaker 2000 have value. If starting out, use the larger pockets on the top sides and gradually reduce fingers on them or use the lower rails with the low center pocket and transition to both rails. You will see rapid progress as you adapt to those holds without real risk of injury.
I had been climbing for a year and a half before I got my beastmaker2000. It’s a training tool and I don’t even use or need all of the holds on it. However it has helped me learn proper hanging technique and it has improved my contact strength significantly. Additionally the 2 finger pocket holds are key for finger rehab.

Mani is one handing the 15mm edge damn.... goals!
I want to see more of your sense of humour come through onto your videos mani
Nice video. We just started our training on one of these. Improvement noticeable after two weeks.

for some strange reason i find it easier to hang or do pull ups on the monos at the bottom
Alex Megos is able to do 15 pull-ups on this slopers 😮 look on his Instagram
Front lever too
Watch out for the guys who can do one arm pull ups on the 45ers no cheating/edges/pinches etc
V impressive

@@rotomath360 thanks for sharing ! Yeah very impressive even if it's almost a pinch in this position 🙃
thats weird... I am able to easily hold the 45 slopers, but have no chance on most of the other holds (especially one handed)
Mani don't know if you know this but if you only use like 1 pad on the 45° slopers it's much easier than with the whole hand try it out
Dominic B the reason I have found for this is usually other parts of the hand fitting into the pockets underneath due to how the hand more naturally curves with one pad. If you instead use all three pads, you hang too far off to make any slight use of the pockets.
Is 2000's sloper(upper) side different from that of 1000's?
Yes, the 1000 has 20° and 35° while the 2000 also has 45° slopers!
Thanks!!

Do you train pinches these days Mani?
Not at the moment

This thing I've used is actually pretty accurate (:
Not if you haven‘t calibrated it ;)
anyway, nice review of the board and your grip strength. Looking forward to seeing your progress on it.
Will the beastmarker 2000 be too difficult for someone new to hangboarding (climbing for 2 years, never did proper hangboarding before)?
Depends how strong your fingers are what's your highest grade?
depends on how hard you climb. If you climb about V5-V8+ i think you'll be fine. Nonetheless i think just bouldering on crimps is better. :)

I'd go for the 2000 even as a beginner.

Guess you're twisting (when doing one armed) because your pinky is probably much more weaker than your index finger.
