Resin hangboards are stupid because they allow your skin, and friction, to assist your hangs. Rather save yourself the money and mount a 2cm wooden rung above your doorframe (assuming you don't want a beastmaker). _________________ the fresh prince of darkness

Sure, but you're training fingerstrength, not friction, on a hangboard, especially when it comes to slopers. Plus you don't want to stuff your skin up hangboarding. _________________ the fresh prince of darkness
