One-Finger Push-ups?

I wouldn't do this. I have to use all my 10 fingers and I need them strong and healthy so I won't go that far. I think the risks are too high to try this trick.

I disagree with everything said so far and let me explain why.

First of all, 1finger push ups are very impressive indeed but they are not done for satisfy one's ego. It is a proof of perseverance and dedication.

Moreover, many said they dont see the use of practicing 1-finger push ups. What you are truely missing is that a person who practices it may NOT practicing it for strength or conditionning. It is essentially and paradoxically a mind exercise. It is all about focusing on the fact it is doable, eliminating every thought that you can't do it. The human body is capable of many amazing things but the mind holds it back. 1-finger push ups is an exercise that is about conditionning your mind, relaxing the limitation it can have on your abilities.

For the record, i cant do 1 finger push ups. Im practicing 2-finger push ups and so far i can do only 2 (i started about 2 months ago). It is an interesting challenge really.
