€249,95

Why train with a pegboard?

A pegboard is much more than a board with holes. It is the ultimate test for your grip strength, upper body, and core. With the wooden pegs, you move yourself step by step upwards, sideways, or even diagonally. This requires brute strength, stability, and coordination.

Training with a pegboard provides:

Stronger grip strength
Explosive upper body strength
Improved core stability
More coordination & body control
Suitable for all levels
Compact & durable

Want even more challenge? Combine your pegboard training with a weight vest to maximally test your strength and endurance.

Essential pegboard exercises

You can do much more with a pegboard than just climb straight up. Here are a few effective exercises to improve your strength, technique, and explosiveness:

✔ Vertical Climbs (straight up and down)
✔ Side Traverses (horizontal movement)
✔ Static Holds (holding in different positions)
✔ Explosive Peg Pull-ups
✔ Diagonal Climbs
✔ One-arm Peg Holds

Want extra challenge? Add resistance bands for more resistance, or train with a partner for competitive challenges.

Buying a pegboard: what should you look for?

Not every pegboard is the same. Want to buy a durable and safe pegboard that really withstands heavy training? Then pay attention to these points:

Material
Wood offers the best combination of grip, sturdiness, and durability. It feels natural in the hand and remains reliable even with intensive use.
Hole position & spacing
The distance between the holes determines how challenging your training is. A professional layout offers the perfect balance between challenge and feasibility.
Mounting & safety
A sturdy installation prevents movement during training. Always choose high-quality mounting materials and ensure installation on a solid surface.
Finish
Smoothly sanded wood prevents splinters, while rounded edges increase comfort and safety.
Load capacity & stability
A good pegboard can withstand years of intensive training without compromising sturdiness.

The ZEUZ Pegboard is designed by and for athletes, so you can train with maximum focus on strength, technique, and progress.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pegboards

What do you use a pegboard for?

A pegboard is a challenging training tool to strengthen your grip strength, upper body, and core. By moving wooden pegs through different holes, you train muscles in your arms, shoulders, back, and abdomen in a functional way. It is popular in CrossFit, calisthenics, and obstacle course training, but also ideal for climbers and athletes who want to improve their endurance and coordination. Thanks to the variety of exercises, you can develop both strength and explosiveness.

How high should a pegboard be hung?

That depends on your training level and the available space. For beginners, a height where the lower holes are just above chest height is ideal, so you can safely start the exercise. Advanced athletes often choose a full wall mount up to the ceiling, allowing for more variation and challenge. Keep at least 50 cm of free space around the pegboard to move safely.

Can I train more with a pegboard than just climbing?

Absolutely. Although the pegboard is known as the exercise for grip and upper body strength, you can do much more with it. Think of static holds, side traverses, explosive pull-ups, or combining pegboard training with resistance bands for extra resistance. It is a versatile tool that challenges not only your arms and back but also your core and shoulders. Therefore, it is a valuable addition to CrossFit, calisthenics, and functional strength training.

How often should I do a pegboard training?

For most athletes, 1 to 2 times per week is sufficient to make progress without overloading. Pegboard training is intense for tendons, muscles, and joints, especially in the forearms and shoulders. Quality is more important than quantity: start with short sets, work on controlled technique, and build up slowly. Combine it with mobility exercises for the shoulders and wrists to prevent injuries.
