avasatu Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Is this a good or bad habit to get into? Particularly during warmup sets, I have been doing it, and I am not sure if this is good practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobbler Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Mine stopped feeling like they needed to be cracked after a few solid months of grippers. Sometimes my pinky joint will hang up, that's about it. If you think it helps, go for it. Stop when it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Cabrera Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Completely harmless This is true, if it hurts don't do it. Lots of myths surounding cricks and cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norden Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Is this a good or bad habit to get into? Particularly during warmup sets, I have been doing it, and I am not sure if this is good practice. Completely harmless http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/knuckle-cracking-firework-flash-imaged-radiologists Generally harmless. Some studies say it may result in a decrease in grip strength though. So, I suppose we can't be sure yet, and therefore I think it's harmful to say it is completely harmless.
