Just a general note, I started on my newly aquired Simulator Hangboard last week...man, my abs are killing me...(and lower back), who would have though that doing "hang-board" exercises would work the abs as well....go figure....

thats strange... my abs never feel blasted, unless i target them (you know, keep the perpendicular to the torso when doing pullups, stuff like that).

If your abs were not conditioned well enough for a hangboard workout, do you think you have the base level of fitness needed to avoid injury to the delicate strictures of the fingers?
I'm not trying to attackyou, just remind you not to get over zealous if you are not used to stressful training.

Its all good, I've been avoiding fingerboards for years fearing injury, but having finally succumb.
Thanks for the concern though.

What exersises are specifically hitting your abs. I really need a lot of work in that department, and have been on the verge of setting up a hang board for a while. I currently use rock rings. Any ideas would help. In the past doing a wobbling circle while in a dead hang seemed to feel good, but I don't know what kind of benefit it had.

When I was doing abes, I was doing hanging crunches, and sit ups.
Also, when I got super into it, I mounted snowboard bindings in my ceiling and was doing "hanging up side down crunches"
Those were veeeery good.
I would be organized about it
Say do 3 cycles, 3 sets of abs to a max value.
Say do 30 sit ups, rest 3 minutes, do 30 sit ups, rest 3 minutes, do 30 sit-ups, rest 10 minutes, then repeate.
If 30 is easy for you, then try 42 next time, etc.
Don't just do straight up, go left, center and then right, then back to left etc...taht will cover all the abs.
I would varry it between that and hanging crunches.
In my rest intervals, I'd often do super relaxing and chill stretches...
Be sure to keep a training log. I just threw away a folder of all my exercises for the past 5 years....I figured it was time to clean the slate.

My hangboard isn't high enough for me to let my legs hang down straight. I have to keep my feet/knees up just to do my work-out. This totally worked me over - abs included - when I started doing it.
Now I work in leg lifts as part of the routine. I find that counting my leg lifts distracts me from the burn in my arms and fingers. Sometimes I'll do both legs, and then right-left-etc, or right-right-etc/left-left-etc. If I'm doing one leg, I'll pull across my torso or to the outside to mix it up. You can do these hanging or when locked off (which is much harder.)
Basically, I just tried to figure out ways to make the hangboard workout more interesting. Throwing in the leg lifts is like killing two birds with one stone.

Your abs and lower back hurt probably because your core is weak. when doing standard pull ups youre not usually worried about holding on. when using a hangboard the whole object of the game is that it's hard to hold on so youre unconciously or conciously readjusting your body during the set.
