Can anyone do finger push-ups?

[ShotgunWes]

Because I can't do any. It feels like my fingers are going to break. I was inspired by the "Have a body like a DBZ character" thread the other day. I was like if Goku can do it than so can I!

[david135]

Is this guy serious... You know that dragon ball z is a cartoon show right... its not real life...

[mhschiefs97]

i can do finger tip pushups but after doing them it feels like i have arthritis in my fingers

[IronLifter849]

i can do like 20 i just dont care about the pain i just do them

[king-of-hearts]

everybody can do them there pretty easy after a while it builds forearm and knuckle strength

[ShotgunWes]

For the record I was being sarcastic. I'm just tired of all the dumbass threads. There really was a thread the other day that was called "Have a body like a DBZ character" What the hell is happening to this forum?

[twokie]

there should be no reason why you can't do them. Just get down on the ground and do it, if you want to.

[Zarnold]

I knew a Gunny in the Corps who did them all the time...he was a pretty hard Mother F(*^er. But I think your focus is all wrong....c@ck pushups is where it's at my friend.

[lukehutton]

iv beentr ying to do finger tip push ups today but i swear itll take me months before i can do one, im putting all my fingers so that they are all net and none of the joints are straight lyk so i don't damage the joints, so basically lyk a holding an apple postion on the floor but wit o apple, is this the correct way?

[LLoydBanks]

I can only do regular 2 handed bull**** pushups. My friend can do one handed pushups, knuckle clap push and lot of ****... I feel jealous . Though I'm Bigger than him

[MrTestosterone]

I can do fingertip pressups, I used to be able to do 5 reps with just my thumb and index finger with both hands *this was before I bulked* now I can do pressups with my thumb and two fingers.

[IcePack319]

no

[MrTestosterone]

no

Start by doing 'girly pressups' by getting on your knees and then doing finger pressups. You will eventually be able to do one!

[twokie]

It probably depends on how much strength you have in your hands, what you do/don't do during the day, etc. Anyone who lifts should be able to do them, I'd think... your hands should get fairly strong just from grasping weights, i have long skinny fingers and i had no problem doing some nor are my hands extrodinarally strong.

[Nepo]

ya i can do 2 finger pushups

[JRAM]

I can can do 'em as long as my fingers are flat on the ground.

[popeye_99]

I can can do 'em as long as my fingers are flat on the ground.

They should be done on the FINGER TIPS, doing them on the flats of the fingers is dangerous!!

[Holdenthefuries]

When I was seriously training for Tae Kwon Do... we'd do these ALL the time. You get fairly good at them. At belt tests we'd have a strength training section where we'd have to do 50 normal pushups, 50 wide pushups, 50 triangle pushups, 50 close grip pushups, then 50 finger pushups.

It was a bitch.

It was a joke!!!!!!

[chronos]

i can do like 20 i just dont care about the pain i just do them

pain is nature's way of telling you to stop whatever the hell you're doing

[IcePack319]

I dont know what ure trying to say. but i have one question for you. Where is your sister. She is on her knees doing some thing that i am enjoying quite a lot.

[popeye_99]

^^^^^^^^^^TROLL???????????

If that was a joke, I don't get it.

I believe ur still mad because you lost the revolutionary war. Dont worry about it. Count it baby.

[Matt P]

Bruce Lee could do pushups with a finger

[b0redazndude]

k.... since im asian ill respond to this

any anime such as DBZ is retarded if it Takes like 20 episodes for a stupid character to scream and power himself up....

anyways if you were serious here's your answer

bruce lee trains years and years to do finger pushups

buddhist monks train their entire lives so they can do a finger pushup in a handstand position

this thread has no relevance whatsoever and i am doing this out of the hope that stupid dbz threads will stop

[user]

i dun think finger pushups in the long term are good for u, do you think that fingers r designed to handle such a large amount of pressure?

comparing yourself to a fictional character is the stupidest idea i ever heard!!!

[Krupp]

Finger pushups are excellent for strengthaning your hands.

SO are knuckle pushups and various gripping exercises.

[Wheyhem.]

i can do abit with 3 fingers on each hand

[DrJeckl]

every dbz episode should be censored then burned, i cant stand screaming, and ghetto hairdos. How retarted do u have to be to figure out that, cartoons, have absolutly no relevance to real life, if they did they'd be filmed in real life. And if i see a bber with his pointer finger broken ill make sure to laugh.
