I'm reserching campusing as I'm about to build one in my cellar. Your video, Mercedes, is the best one I've found online. Clear, step-by-step progression. I especially appreciate the emphasis on form and injury free way of exercising. Thank you for this tutorial.
Best training video I've seen on YT. It's good to have someone actually explain how to campus board in such detail rather than just showing themselves doing it.. Great stuff.
Hi, I found this to be the best explanation of how to use the campus board on youtube. Really clear and concise. I would love a similar video on symmetrical systems boards.
This campus board is so much friendlier than any I’ve seen wish there was one like this at my local, also when I do it I only use 3 fingers by the time I’m at the top as I have real short pinkies think that’s gonna hurt me in the long run? Otherwise I have to pretty much crimp it
michalnepok you are trying to keep all four fingers on as often as possible. But you can also train 3 finger hand positions as well. The hand position for 4 fingers can change as the rung gets smaller. might be something you need to train unweighted, or just work up to it. I think half crimps on the campus board are also acceptable.
Down campusing is an eccentric movement. The muscles can tolerate around 1.75 times more weight than concentric movements, and is awesome for developing power and increasing muscle hypertrophy. However, I would recommend eccentrics in campusing for the more advanced campuser. There are a few reasons why. 1. It damages muscle at a higher rate, which means you need to take longer to recover between sessions. 2. Because it is higher loading on your connective tissue, you have a higher risk of injury (since campusing is already a compromised position for the fingers/elbows/shoulders, you are essentially doing one arm eccentrics with a small hold). 3. You should try to rest as much as you can between each rep, and with campusing, you are down campusing more than one rep. Anyways, those are my thoughts on it. If you are very comfortable campusing and can campus a far ways, then you can try eccentrics. Hope that helps.

Alex Webber awesome! Ill try to get one up for you!
Thanks! :)
Thanks! Been looking into campusing and position is really helpful.
This is a super solid explanation
Great video!

Great! Hug from Rio de Janeiro.
Looks good. Tyvm
Also, do you think you could do a video on hangboarding? Mainly on finger positioning and using 2 finger positions?
do you try to keep 4 fingers on with smaller rungs? it feels like i would be crimping if i tried to do that

Which gym is this?

Thanks, it looks perfect! ;)
why not campussing down ?
thank you
