I have been eyeing the Tindeq for quite some time and decided to get it with the foot plate for ease of use at home. I’m just now rehabbing a pulley injury and expect this thing to be a serious game changer when it comes to finger health and strength. The footplate makes it very convenient for me to use and gives me one less excuse for not training often enough.
Fantastic training tool for grip strength and general isometric training, not just for climbing. I like to do finger curls and arm-lifting-type movements but I also use it to track how much force I can generate when doing MVC isometrics. You can use something like an X3 or Harambe bar and floor plate with a gymnastic ring strap, set the Tindeq between the bar and strap, set the strap so you’re contracting stretched muscle, and track your progress over time. It’s a versatile piece of equipment for much more than climbing-specific training. You aren’t supposed to attach carabiners directly to the Tindeq so I use a double-folded 12” climbing sling on either end and attach the carabiners to that. The slings also provide a small amount of give so you get more proprioceptive feedback. I do wish someone made a 3” climbing sling as that would be an easier and cleaner attachment point for the carabiners.
Makes tindeq repeaters much easier - surprising how much difference it makes to have an easy in and out strap system to stand on. Much more ergonomic / natural posture than a foot in a sling
