The metrics your coach asks you for
What metrics are in ClimbrLab, how to complete a test your coach assigned you, and where to find the history of your own results.
The app interface is currently in Spanish only. Buttons and messages are quoted as you will see them, with the English meaning in brackets.
A metric is a test with a number attached: max finger strength, a hang time, a rating scale. Your coach assigns it and you record it when you can.
How you know you have one pending
Your dashboard shows a notice along the lines of «Tienes 2 métricas por completar» (You have 2 metrics to complete). They are also always in Métricas (Metrics), split into two blocks: Por completar (To complete) and Tu histórico (Your history).
Each pending card tells you the category, the value type, the unit and, if your coach left a note, you will see it in quotes. That last part is usually the important one: it is where the “use the 20 mm edge” or the “cold, before warming up” lives.
Completing a test
Press Completar (Complete) on the card and it opens full screen with:
- Your coach’s instructions
- The reference exercises, if they attached any, so you know exactly which movement is being measured
- The result field, which changes with the type: chips from 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 for a scale, or a number for a measurement or a time in seconds
- A space for notes, optional
Press Guardar (Save) and you are done.
If you get «Métrica no disponible» (Metric unavailable), the most likely explanation is that you had already completed it, or that your coach cancelled the assignment.
Metrics that use a Tindeq
Some tests are flagged as Tindeq and need the dynamometer to be recorded. If your profile says you do not own one, your coach cannot assign them to you: they get a warning when they try.
When a test uses a Tindeq, the measured value is filled in automatically once the capture ends, and you can still adjust it by hand before saving. That is covered in Using the Tindeq Progressor.
Why consistency matters
The value of a metric is not in one day’s number, it is in the series. An isolated strength peak says nothing; the same 20 mm edge measured every three weeks with the same warm-up does tell you whether you are progressing or stalling.
That is why your coach’s instructions are part of the test: if you measure cold one day and after climbing the next, both numbers are correct and the comparison between them is garbage.
