Body weight causing injury with hang board?

[dillonthomassee]

Hey guys,
I'm not a stranger to climbing but I have just picked up the sport again after a couple year break. I have been casually training for a year now and decided to step it up with the RCTM. I was wondering about my weight potentially causing injuries as I progress with hang boarding. I currently fluctuate around 190lbs. I know I'll quickly make leaps and bounds in strength with ARCing and hang boarding but should I take caution when I move on to more difficult grips on the HB?
Thanks!

I know people in the 210 and up range that train with a hang board, so I don't see any reason to be overly concerned.

Anyone using a hang board seriously for the first time should have pulley system and be conservative when selecting resistance. Be prepared to take off 50 lbs or so on the more challenging grips. It really helps to ease into it. After a few workouts you'll have a good idea what your body can handle.

Thanks for the response. I do have a pulley system set up for it. I started with the beginner routine you guys had suggested and I just finished my third training session with it. I have pretty much hit 0 resistance on every grip save the wide pinch and MR 2F pocket. I actually started adding resistance to some of the grips. Just a little hesitant because I know tendons develop pretty slowly. Nice to know that guys on the larger side of the spectrum make progress on the hang board.
Cheers!
