Tindeq Progressor 200 Review

Tindeq Progressor 200

This is one for the true training nerds in your life, the kind of climbers obsessed with their finger strength stats who throw around terms like “overcoming isometric”. The Tindeq is a tiny Bluetooth strain-gauge/dynamometer/crane scale that connects to an app on your phone and measures how much force is being applied (total or over time) by a muscle group of your choice (usually fingers/forearms). The app comes with a bunch of features to help train or assess max strength, endurance, and other geeky goodness. I have one attached to a mini hangboard that I use every time I train or warm up for climbing—they even double as a luggage weight scale for climbing trips. You could previously only get these direct from Norway, but thankfully they’re now available in Australia! A great gift for training nerds
