About Beastmaker Training App
This application is a sidekick to the beastmaker 1000 and 2000. It has been designed to assist the user into gradually getting stronger on a fingerboard. The app does this by way of prewritten workouts which are often general and aim to improve all trainable grips on the board. Some are specific (2000 series only at the moment) which aim to improve, sloper strength, pocket strength and crimp strength.
There is also a custom timer (free hang) which is fully adjustable so if you have your own hang regime and different timings then that is all programmable.
Both the workouts and custom timer now record hang contraction time (time spent actually hanging off the board) We recommend most users get up to around 20:00 minutes on this clock whilst doing their workouts.
On the Workout screen after you've selected your work out it is now possible to adjust set and hang times. Users who are only finger boarding and are having a rest day prior to and after training may wish to do up to 3 sets and 7 hangs. Other users may prefer to go for 2 sets and 6 hangs, this is what we'd consider an average and more suited to people doing additional types of training.

Please note the grades for the workouts aren't actually meant to relate to anything other than themselves. E.G. 5c is easier than 6a but harder than 5b. If you find 5a hard on the 1000, use a weight removal technique such as putting one foot on a chair in front of the board or using a pulley with weights on. More advice on this and other things are available in the general advice section on the my workouts page.
To record your hangs press the save button (down arrow on the rest screen) whilst resting, this will then go into my workouts and save there. The My workouts function is much improved over the IOS version and should now be a really useful training aid which records gradual progress and improvement.
Fingerboard gains take time, remember to warm up thoroughly and move on to more difficult hangs at a slightly slower pace than you think you should to give pulleys time to catch up with muscles. For example 10% strength gains over a year is brilliant improvement. 5% is still effective training.
Best of luck with the training, happy hanging and we hope this helps with the motivation.

It's a modest fitness app, disappointing to find that it is lacking in general information of what the actual holds are. I feel as an app that comes at a premium this is very poor as it assumes you know what a four finger chisel is.

No option to change program rest time. And its only 3 secs. Useless

Im amazed that you didnt fix the custom timer in the update. I set it to 7x3 seconds and it automatically drops to 6x2, just like the previous version

Great app, the interface is great... But the easiest workout is really hard, it needs some proper beginner and intermediate options instead of all advanced, and the option to make your own workouts is still not forthcoming. This would be a great free companion to the board but as you have to pay for the app as well I'm not sure what you're actually getting for your money

The visual guide for which hold to use changes during hang time, which causes confusion. It should change during the rest time beforehand. Also, rest times should be slightly configurable. If I could add one second to them it would make it easy to adjust between reps. Also, sound cues would be *very* helpful. Finally, if you mess up a single rep and hit the "go back" button, you're taken all the way back to the beginning of the set. That can be really frustrating.

Awesome. It'll get better with time but it's a great start.

Expected a sensible training routine to save myself typing it all up. This app didn't provide that as it suggests two fingers hangs for the 5A easiest routine. Used HIIT interval app instead and training plan from M L Anderson's book now. My best bet before getting injured in two pocket hangs suggested for 5A routine. Sorry I love the best maker and the app is not too bad but the training plan is just unrealistic and unhelpful.

Best training app I've used, still could use more features i.e. truly customisable and saveable workouts and selectable holds, though a sheet of paper will suffice for now. Failure IS an option, to build a beast you must first break the man!

Does what it should but there are a few things that could be improved. The timer stops when you switch to another application, I'd imagine many people want to use data and phones/tablets during the rest period between hangs. There is no logging of custom workouts, it would be good if at a bare minimum the total hang time is recorded and then possible to plot within the app or export as CSV for use in other programs. Finally an option to record the amount of assistance or resistance used would be good.

Good for workouts although I'm suprised you suggest to train middle-twos already at 5A, which is a quick way to finger injury. Making your own workouts would be great with the ability to customize holds. With presets it'd be nice to be able to change the rest period between hangs from 2 seconds to a bit more. Hopefully you'll bring some nice updates and functionality in the future!

But i would appreciate more info about how often in a week and for how many days/weeks should I do specific preset.

Really good, would like to see some specific workouts for the 1000 ie slopercentric etc and vibrations every second as an option would be nice, and the option to set How many people are doing the workout so you can cycle around in each other's rests etc, because fingerboarding alone is really boring :-P

Would love to be able to make my own workouts with pics of the holds as a custom workout and increase rest from 2s to a little more. Allows me to use some other resources i have. Timer to continue in background on app switch also needs adding to update (ie so I can SMS in the breaks)

This does the job but lots of potential for improvement as per the other comments here. Is this app ever going to be updated?

Great easier than my old pen and paper method. Glad it's on Android finally. Did the 6c work out first grade seems about right too.

This app is a good start. We would love to see a training plan that tells you which days to train and which days to rest

the only flaw is that you cannot set different time of hang in for examle in your 3th set. Other that that it super.

Good training app but could easily be made better. Needs an option to customise durations of hang and rest in the workouts so people can build up slowly rather than go straight into hard workouts.
