Force Board Advantages

Force Board

Superior Data Visualization

Force Board offers compelling data visualizations for each workout, session history and goals. These tools let you easily explore the history for a given routine or hold.

Auto-Start/Stop

Force Board starts a rep when you pull on it and stops when you stop. Routines are fully timed, but the device will wait if you're off schedule. Force Board is totally hands free!

RFD on Every Rep

Force Board automatically captures Rate of Force Development on every rep, letting you train grip speed coincident with other protocols.

Explicit Routine Design

Each routine can be intermixed for both hands, left, right, splitting reps left then right or splitting sets left then right (single-hand repeaters).

Strong Enough for All Exercises

Force Board comes in 300 kg or 450 kg load capacities. 300 kg is enough for fingers and other muscle groups for all but the strongest people.

Competition

Data List Only

Other systems list basic data, such as the peak force for a rep, but don't break that data down into actionable visualizations or collect together data from a given routine.

Timer Driven

Other systems make you a slave to the timer--you must start the rep when the timer says to start or tap the phone to pause. If you don't start right on time, your data is invalid.

Separate RFD

Other solutions require a separate exercise to capture RFD, making it less useful for regular workouts.

Simple Routine Categories

Other devices collect together only repeaters or max hangs, making it difficult to search for a particular routine from a captured list.

Lower Strength

200 kg is not sufficient for all muscle groups beyond finger training or very strong people with just finger training.
