Robin Piedeleu Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hey all, my name is Robin and I am a newbie here. I have a question about fingertips push-ups : can they help to build serious grip strength ? And, if they do, what kind of grip strength? When I do them, I feel pain and tension in my fingers and they are obviously harder than regular push-ups. However, I never feel sore in my forearm after this exercise. My guess is that this kind of push-ups focus on tendon and ligaments strength. But, I m not too sure about it. A lot of martial artists consider it a must to build functional grip strength (see Bruce Lee's famous demonsration of one-arm, two-finger push-ups). So, what do you think? Do you practice them regularly? Do you think it's a good exercise to incorporate grip training into a regular bodyweight routine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
