Beastmaker Training App
A fingerboard training app, set workouts, custom timer, @beastmakers official.
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. Dont forget to rate the whole workout at the end.NEW -> Customise Rest Time after Sets- set a longer break after each set.Other bug fixes and improvements:- min. rest time is lowered to 30s- fixed incorrectly saved sets/reps

Stick to hangboards not apps. Yeah the physical product is great but the app is useless. Why have graded workouts that are customisable so you can just change them to get through? They're far from transferable to any real climb of the same grade either. Room for progression maybe, but WOs are long, boring and uninspiring. To easy to press the back button and have to start again and log only half a session. No note function. % failure whats that about? I'll stick to crimpd thanks for wasting £3
Fundamentally this app works. It certainly helps like it's not had love in a long time. I'd appreciate more guidance on the golf position types, a different audio que for the last set in a sequence (not a voice, I'm happily listening to a podcast so the tones is good) and assistance with what to include on a custom without.
Horrible experience. Very limited features and settings for a paid app. Looks like a 20 year old app.. Was expecting top quality from beastmaker.
Awesome but perhaps crimpers should be less frequent.
Wish it recorded what you had done and that you could put notes so you know how you felt in the session. It's very basic, but I like the timer settings. However you can just get those for free.
The app is quite a bummer. Buying a high end fingerboard and then having to pay for an app additionally, you'd expect it'd be good at least. The workout programs for the bm2k begin at a very high standard even for experienced climbers. And the custom workouts features are quite terrible; there's no option to duplicate hangs, nor can you edit the custom workout, one has to delete the workout completely and create a new one.
A bit simplistic... It's a shame you can't set back the default setting for each level, when you have updated them.
Extremely ugly design but it works I guess.
Custom workouts can only be created for the 1000 series board in version 3.2.1 as there is no option to change it. Disappointing lack of response from Beastmaker when I raised this issue with them. I would be quite happy with the app. if I could create custom workouts for my 2000 series board as stated in the description.
Who puts (-) minus on the right side of controls?
