Fifth Element (Thumb Focused Pinch Trainer)
Our new innovative pinch trainer the "Fifth Element" is here!
All other pinch training devices aimed at climbers actually target the fingers just as much, if not more than the thumb. Leaving us with little training effect on the one finger we wanted to target the most in the first place! As climbers our fingers already get plenty of work.
By simply moving the loading point closer to thumb you get a MUCH higher focus to the thumb, so start off light as it's humbling! This is the perfect situation for training the pinch as it is constraining you to a climbing specific grip of using your finger tips as opposed to the large blocks you can "cheat" but don't represent a grip type typically seen on real rock. In addition, it makes it easy to do on light training days as the load is low, or just to leave your fingers fresh for other training.
Please read the specifications and watch the video before purchasing to understand the product. It is unique in it's execution and should not be compared to anything you may think is similar!
The Fifth Element has 7 training options in total:
Wide Pinch
Narrow Pinch
22mm Mono (Slightly Sloping)*
15mm Edge (Slightly Sloping)*
13mm Edge(Slightly Sloping)*
8mm Edge
6mm Edge
*The Mono, 15 and 13mm edges will feel slightly slopey (angled away from your fingers slightly) due to the eyelet location. This makes more difficult but also more comfortable and ideal for open hand training.
Includes: 1 Fifth Element Portable Hangboard and a fun sticker!
