f1perez Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 Right now I am currently on the kta gripper program, but once I finish it i would like to have a specialized program for strengthening the fingers. I know that finger walking with a slegehammer is effective, and also finger tip push-up. For those of you with lots of finger strength which one is superior to the other for that goal, and what other exercises are there that help strenthen the fingers? I have seen grip devices such as the claw curl, eagle loops. an outer limits loops. If i could have some input i would really appreciate it, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I would recommend tearing cards and finger lifting. The finger lifting could be middle/ring finger deadlifts, or any combination of fingers used to deadlift. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I'm currently having phenomenal results with a hangboard. A pic is on my website under "grip tools". Besides that, plate curls hit the fingers really hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERHEAD Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I've done finger walking and love it! I think Benders hang board is excellent and I will probably get one in the future. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tspinillo Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 I started doing finger walking with an 8LB sledge. The first couple weeks were murder, as I can only move it about 8-10 inches before getting completely exhausted. Now I can do it pretty smoothly the length of the handle. It was an eye opener to how weak my fingers were. When I started, the Trainer gripper was tough. Now I've closed the #2. I combined the sledge with block weight training and it seemed to make my hands more stable with the grippers. As a point of reference I started working grip about 6wks ago. Good Luck, T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Man Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 ripping fun, i use to rip a lot i got up to 2 playing decks of cards, and phone books, so ripping is very good for the fingers, along with lots of plate curls, and plate wrist curls.
