Climber028 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 1 minute ago, Hopefully said: https://exrx.net/WeightExercises/WristFlexors/DBUlnarFlexion I do it because it helps with setting heavy grippers and is prehab to wrist injuries. Also flexor carpi ulnaris _may_ be involved in the amount of power you can produce from your pinky finger, it attaches at the base of your pinky. Somewhat unclear. The muscle is very active during a crushing motion though. Huh, I've never thought of the deviation involved in setting a gripper that's super interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See a few back on hammers and using them as gripper strengtheners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use it in the fashion for the same thing. The rear hammer lever. You can also open the fingers and close them while flexing the wrist for ulnar deviating. Face levers also do this with the ulnar deviating and pinky component. I think that is why my no set grippers are so easy for me.

Guest Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Just now, Hopefully said: I see what you mean. Yeah, at least it can't hurt. So, a hammer can increase crush drastically if used properly. No actual gripper “needed”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are holding a hammer you cannot open fingers because hammer will go in the direction of gravity hopefuly not on a foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you can, you can open the fingers while holding the hammer and then squeeze them closed. Want me to show you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Joe lift anvils in flip flops, so I think he'd be pretty safe with a hammer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
