not sure your fitness level, but I always caution new climbers against hangboard workouts until they've been climbing consistently for at least two years

tendons/pulleys take a LOOOOONG time to adapt (like, 7-10 years), and hangboards are particularly easy to overdo it on

best training for your tendons is to just climb, and there are less dangerous ways to strengthen your forearms

smart move in that case! 

just seen too many blown pulleys, so I tend to jump in with a disclaimer anytime I see hangboards being talked about

hope this works well for you!

On and off 7 years with no injuries, but I’ve similarly had to take breaks when going too hard on the crimps

If anything this is to get a tiny bit of load (50% bw) to maintain. There are times where I can’t make it out the gym for prolonged periods and this is a low barrier to maintaining that
