Ideas for finger and wrist strengthening? Posted: 05-12-08 23:09pm
Getting my fingers and wrist stronger
could work wonders for my martial arts and
swimming pursuits. However, I already do
wrist curls with weights and there haven't
been any significant improvements. Any
ideas?

You mind getting arthritis at an earlier
age at your finger joints? If so, I can
give you a few exercises =P.
I'll think of some regular safe ones when
my eyes aren't bloodshot and sleepy.

Start with hanging on a pullup bar. Hang
dead arm for as long as possible then do
the same with4,3,2 fingers and then you
can take a dip belt and add weigth to that
and hang. Exercises without wrist wraps
such as deadlifts and bench press are key
too.

Yup, hanging off a pull up bar by your
fingers were one of the good exercises I
knew, but I was also told it causes a lot
of stress on the finger joints so I wasn't
sure if it was exactly the safest.
I used to do pull ups with my fingers
hanging though, instead of just hanging.
