Bleeding Lion Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 I am working on doing two finger push ups just like bruce lee did. i found out it is much more mental than physical but so far i managed to get into push up starting position on my two fingers (not bad uh?). Anyway, can anybody here do it and give me some advice? We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence thus, is not an act, but a habit. --- Aristotle
Hudson Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Work on them with four fingers first, then remove a finger when you get comfortable with those. The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move.
steveb Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Do I have to remove the finger or can I just curl it up? Res firma, mitescere nescit
Shorin Ryuu Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Do you mean two finger pushups using just one hand? I'm not quite at that level yet (not that it was really something I've ever made a concerted effort towards). If you mean two finger pushups using two hands, then I can do that (One finger and one thumb). The key to being able to do these is to be good at regular pushups FIRST. Otherwise, it'll just cause too much strain on your fingers. As someone mentioned, you start with four fingers and work your way downwards. I find it useful also to do it with all five fingers. I doesn't look "as cool", but you work the whole hand rather than that just the isolated sections. Of course, you can mix and match and vary what you do. It is also advisable to not let your finges splay outwards when you do these, which is the natural reaction. That can hurt the pads of your fingers. These things are useful for grip and whatnot, but I think there are better exercises to do them with less risk of injury. Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/
Bleeding Lion Posted January 28, 2005 Author Posted January 28, 2005 Im talking about push ups on one hand, using one finger and a thumb. For me is just a mental and physical challenge i find interesting. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence thus, is not an act, but a habit. --- Aristotle
Sesshoumaru Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 If you need help going further in finger pushups, i maybe able to help you. I am able to do 12 one finger one handed pushups (index on one hand) and im only 17. I can tell you my routine for finger pushups, if you want to know.
