    So I assume something like this:

    How to do Fingertip Pushups

    is wrong?

    Does anyone have training on how to do the correct ones? It seems either I really can't do them, or my form sucks.


    Yes, that is wrong. Don't bend your fingers,the nail needs to be pointing downwards not across, or you will damage your fingers.
    Logged

    Goals:
    bend a 6 inch nail [ x ] (stainless steel)
    close a CoC number 3 gripper [ ] (missing the 2.5 by 2mm)

    I am going to see if I can get how I do them filmed later tonight, when I get to work. The guy in the vid uses a very wrong form, technically 2 ways to do them correctly( Straight or tiger claw variant, tiger being more advanced and harder to pull off), but nails always, as funnisam says, pointing downwards.

    People tend to do a cross between palm/finger pushups when they do them, as they hurt less and feels more balanced. Problem is you are forcing fingers into the max range of motion, then put your weight on top of that. Plus, like with palm pushups, it affects your wrists negatively aswell.
    So, going to try put a vid together tonight. I am working tonight after all, might aswell try to do something constructive besides playing world of tanks Cheesy

    Yeah, I have started it, but my son got bronkitus so have not really had time to get around to finish it. Have the form part ready, so not much left. Stay tuned Wink

    Going to work tonight, and finally going to get around to finishing it Smiley

    Yes Hamid, he wants to start judo(and I only have one son Wink ), my daughter however wants to try what she calls "punch and kick"(she kicks the bag etc with me Smiley).
    And yes, probably going to learn them, even if I would prefer to have them enrolled in a real class.
