18.01.2022 Exciting new stuff guys!! Head over to their page and give them a follow! Fullsterker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncY-zt2_0Oo Fullsterker is a Blue Mountains born brand, created by past and present climbers at @bjrclimbing. The name Fullsterker, is our climbing play on the word fullsterkur, which translates to full strength. For many years we had been kicking around with the idea of making climbing and training gear, which at the time resulted in our successful Fullst...erker chalk and boars-hair brushes. Being a team of well seasoned climbers, we would often discuss and obsess over the best training tools and routines. The idea of snatching is not a new form of training, with most elite level climbers having performed this exercise for decades in one form or another. With traditional hang boards designed to only train static finger strength, we knew that the SNATCH Board had to be made. The SNATCH Board is a one of a kind training device that allows climbers to get strong from their own home. With customisable holds that are easy to install and reposition, this makes it one of the most accessible training tools on the market. Use it as a finger board, campus board, pull-up board or a snatch board. Either way, it will get you Fullsterker! The SNATCH is now available to buy, with plenty more products available now! Click the link in our bio for more details and for any purchases. Orders made this weekend will be shipped on Tuesday. Stay tuned for our release of training videos, and more to come! #fullsterkerclimbing See more

03.01.2022 Bring back the good old days #trainingkings Dont worry we are working on getting more training gear, stay tuned.... A bit of history - a bunch of years back we imported & distributed containers of PU climbing holds and along with that we always had a heap of plastic training boards and other cool climbing gear that would have been useful to you now. Unfortunately others thought they could do it better and undermined this part of our business, blew foul wind in OS m...anufacturers sails and the like. This may sound bitter but it is the truth and before us a range like this with back up stock was no where in a single location on the planet and this image is only showing a part of it! #keepitreal . . #bjrclimbing #climbing #bouldering #trainingforclimbing #strengthfortraining #climbinggear #climbing_is_my_passion #climbingtraining #hangboardtraining #hangboard #australianclimbing #sydneybouldering #grampiansbouldering #letsgetthroughthistogether See more
