Finger push ups tutorial (benefits and risk)

- Finger push ups are an advanced push ups variation. Here are the risks and benefits involved in doing them. I didn't talk about wrist positioning, elbow angles or shoulder rotation because these variables will change based on the muscles you want to target and your own body/leverages.
For beginners. Just do knee fingertip pushups. Then, progress to fingertip planks. After that, do slow eccentric fingertip pushups. Finally, actually do fingertip pushups.
Also you could just do pushups and take away fingers one by one
Sorry for the late reply. Yes you can, it may take weeks or months depending on your progress
@@swag-rm4il how would that work lol, and the fps don't even have any use for the begginers
I just dove in and I started improving is that bad?
Bruh, I 13 and I do 5 reps finger push ups, I do 3 fingers 1 rep
I do wall push ups. If I do sets of 20+, I definitely feel it.
I like Convict Conditioning’s philosophy: Don’t think “can I do a harder variation of this move” and instead think “can I continue to train this movement and benefit from it?” and it’ll make training easier.
Interesting philosophy
😂😂😂
I like that philosophy! Thank you!
You look like a Jacked Markiplier
Haha thanks!
Man your profile pic brings me back, hadn't seen Gray in a hot minute
be careful fellas, dont do them until failure, if you feel like you can only do one, only do one
This guys voice sounds like a mix of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone 😂
Is there a risk of damaging your fingers in the long term? Because right now i can do about 5 reps on 10 fingers, but im not sure if i should continue as i don't want to end up slowly damaging my fingers
I've ben doing these for years with 0 problem
There is a risk of injury but in terms of slow degradation I'd say these strengthen the fingers more than they fragilize it
how's your progress been
There is always a risk of injuring yourself during a workout, but you can minimize it by slowly progressing accordingly to your level and doing it correctly, and not ego lifting, and not using momentum but doing them a little bit slower.
Nice. Im going to start doing these for some finger gains lol
Some people do it with a claw grip and others with straight fingers. I'm a little confused as to which one is better? I want to do this to have strong fingers to prevent injury, so I don't want to do it wrong. but with people saying claw grip is bad, then people saying straight fingers is bad. there is alot of conflicting ideas.
I personally prefer straight fingers as it stacks the joint and it never caused me any trouble, and unless it feels painful for you I'd advise you do the same
Straight fingers are easier then claws
So I prefer claws
thanks for the tips man!
sure thing broseph
I started doing daily 3 sets of 30 push ups(15 knuckle and 15 finger)
sometimes I do less reps, I hope they help me to build strong wrist for my muscle ups
Damon bro I just do 250 standard in 10 reps, I can only do 3 finger tip push-ups till I fail and I do 50+ reps of knuckle push-ups in lots of 10-15
@@roanoazoros1fan358 wow thats good bro, keep going, in few weeks you will be better...
I forgot to mention, I do knuckle push ups on wooden floor, I nver tried concrete
@@wakeupp563 it’s not much harder really well other than the floors harder 😂😂
Shouldn't you do the demonstration the other way around, so we can see your hands more clearly?
Eh the technique isn't really anything to teach, you just do push ups on your finger tips and find the elbow/wrist angle that works for you
@@NaturalHypertrophy Fair enough, lol.
It's just that the finger angle looked much flatter than when I do it, which is more sort of claw like, but I just wondered if a flatter angle is more beneficial in some way?
I have double jointed thumbs. Would you still recommend doing this? I am able to perform one set of ten before I notice a grinding sensation in my middle joints. The pain is no issue but it is a strange sensation that does not affect performance in later sets. Just asking in case this is an expected result from the form or if it is a me exclusive.
For you I'd advice sticking to 4 finger push ups if possible, wouldnt want to aggravate those joints
Hey mate, I also have hypermobility. My thumb bends in its middle joint 90 degrees backwards from straight and some of my fingers can bend backwards to the point they touch the back of my hand. Curious to know how you've been getting on with these exercises.
nice video, does it also help with building muscles on forearms?
No
Thx bro this really helped me out
Are finger push ups a good way of strengthening the wrists?
Not particularly, although they do take the strain out of it so if normal push ups become painful they can be an alternative
Impressive💪🏽💪🏽
Should my fingers be extended or slightly bended? I've been doing them extended, with all the weight being handled by the joints, and them popping for a bit while after. Now that I think about it, it doesn't really sound healthy for my fingers
I can do 3 finger push ups I'm also 81kg and can do 22 normal push ups in a row also I'm training parkour and can do 1 arm push ups oce with my left arm even though my main arm is right how can I improve my other arm as well as both whit less challenging exercises but can lead me to do 1 arm push ups thanks for your help.
Do more pushup volume. Be able to do sets of 50 at least. Do more variations such as Archer pushups to build single arm strength. Finally, get a weight vest and add weighted pushups. Start light, 10 or even 5 lbs, and slowly increase the weight once you can do 20-25 reps per set.
will finger push ups help grip strength for pull ups and deadlift
I do them last, just 10, with a 10kg vest on, I weigh 60kg, it's good for tendon and grip strength, just do 10, push with your mind, use all 5 fingers, you can do it, I can and I have a broken ring finger, so yeah, do 10-15 finger push ups when you finish your push up workout.
I did karate. One of which I mastered knuckle push ups. Knuckle push ups will be challenging, I can do 4 reps! Then I mastered a 1 arm push up but only 2 reps. I time I need better bicep strength.
Thanks. I need to get good at those to improve at Kyokushin Karate
when doing exercise why did you not face camera so we could see your fingers
for real tho like wtf is the point of this shit if you can’t even see wtf you are doing
How many times a week should you do this?
As many as you'd like, but if you go hard don't exceed 2
I’m struggling with regular five finger pushups, Bruce Lee did two finger pushup with one hand 😭
i can do a couple of these but i try not to push myself since i sprained my thumb a couple months back doing like 10 of these in a row. dont challenge yourself too much with these..
I'm 14 year old i can plank and do 5 finger push ups just like doing normal pushups. Btw I realise the finger feeling different after that.
Still remember bruce lee with them 2 fingers push ups.
Two fingers push ups are doable. ONE ARM two fingers push ups is a superhuman feat; Lee was a beast
@A Guy With Unpopular Opinions Literally Bruce Lee level
I can only do 6finger pushups 4 now
One day you may
fingers push up without thumb
Wow a little bit chunky but strong as fuck, like always
You should have showed us your fingers not your trainers when doing the push ups
hmm
DON'T DO FINGER PUSH UPS
Why?
@@firegamer8099 dangerous
@@AtticTapes14 oh
I can do one pushup
They are riskier than other exercises starting out but they’re fine if you don’t rush through progressions. When I started out I wasn’t tensing my fingers so I would just hurt my tendons. If you do them on your knees to start off and flex your fingers properly you shouldn’t see any danger.
@@manwithastick2310 did you see the 2 finger planch
