Someone shook my hand on my affected side and I had no strength to hold their hand and actually shake their hand. I had no idea how weak it was until that happened. So here I am.

Very good video it’s very useful however I found this out a week ago by myself 😅 another tip is you can make wall push-ups even harder by lowering your hands down the wall closer to your waist, this also works with floor push-ups.

[@Fitnessforfreedom]

yes the lower your hands are the harder, you just have to supinate your hands when pushing form your waist

Probably not range of motion, possibly dexterity, but not likely I would recommend more fine motor exercises for dexterity like pinching clothes pins with your various finger to thumb and doing finger stretches.

[@saketsaurabh4380]

Can this exercise help in improving handwriting speed and enable one to write for long hours without getting fatigued?

It hasn't made mine any thicker, just stronger. For thicker fingers I think you need finger and grip strength consistently every day, maybe even as part of your job.

[@kevinperez5170]

if i work my forearms out will my fingers also get stronger?

[@Fitnessforfreedom]

Probably, especially if you're doing gripping and squeezing exercises with your hands, simple wrist flexion and extension exercises would less effective at strengthening your fingers

Useful for climbing?

[@Fitnessforfreedom]

definitely, but for climbing I would recommended pinching exercises as well.

Does it help prevent injury in volleyball?

[@Fitnessforfreedom]

yes it can because you'll have stronger fingers

[@owenhu9465]

would these help improve dexterity for playing instruments that involve pressing with your fingers? thanks!

[@Fitnessforfreedom]

Possibly, it depends how strong your fingers currently are. Usually to get better at a specific task I recommend practicing that task and if you find exercises help then do them, but if you find they make no difference don't worry about them. The only way to truly find out is to use trial and error

[@antoniobento2105]

I think it helps a lot, although none of my teachers ever told me somethingblike that. I think it helps because once I went to the gym and develpod some thinger strength, after I got home that day I just realized I could play pieces much more clearer, faster and with better rith. I think it is a very underated habit.

I’m not an expert, but I think it is safer to not overextend the finger. Try to keep your fingers slightly bent inwards instead of bent backwards.

[@Fitnessforfreedom]

A couple things could be happening, you may need to do harder variations, you may not have the finger position quit right, a lot of people try and go right on the tip of the fingers or let their fingers over extend out which stresses the finger joints instead of the finger muscles, or 10 days may not be long enough yet, although if done properly you should notice at least very minor improvements

[@kaz7k721]

Putting strength into a passion is worth the time, even if you can't press a key normally you should just try with more force even if it aches. And yes building finger strength will help with it.

[@Fitnessforfreedom]

Yes!!

[@bran7982]

Im just here to help pressing piano keys better but the thing is will it help?

[@filipe_souza]

I recommend Hanon exercises instead. Those exercises will give you finger strength and the precision needed for piano. You can find the sheet music here: imslp.org/wiki/The_Virtuoso_Pianist_(Hanon%2C_Charles-Louis)
And you can learn more about Hanon exercises here: th-cam.com/video/H-8Qre0-IyM/w-d-xo.html
If you still want to do finger pushups to help with piano skills, keep your fingers slightly bent when doing the pushups, as if you were holding a handball, like in this video: th-cam.com/video/_DHM9Zg_0iY/w-d-xo.html

it will probably help as long as you do it correctly
