Hypergravity Isolation Training (HIT) is one of the most effective 

methods for developing finger strength. Designed by Eric Hörst, this 

training tool offers high-intensity training on 45° to 55° overhanging 

walls. 

Target areas:

 closed crimp, open crimp, open hand, pinch.

To install, use an overhanging bouldering wall of ¾” plywood at 

an angle of 45° to 55° past vertical. HIT Workouts™ on a 55°–past 

vertical–wall are significantly harder than the common 45° wall. If 

you are building a wall for HIT Workouts™, a 50° angle works well. 

Wall angles overhanging less than 45° are not suggested for HIT 

Workouts™ as they require excessive–and dangerous–amounts 

of added weight to produce the desired training results. By using 

screws, one does not need to predrill pilot holes unlike with other lag 

screws. Additionally, the screws provide higher pullout strength. If 

you decide to predrill, do not make the holes too large in diameter–less 

than 1/16”.
