Doing pullups on a piece of wood nailed to a floor beam in the basement
Okay....here is the deal.
Find a piece of wood, approx. 2 feet long, 3-4 inches wide. and 1/2 inch deep. Nail it to a floor beam in your basement (face side down, so there is little to hold on to). Do some pullups. 4 fingers, 3 fingers, 2 fingers, 1 fingers (perhand).
Lets see how you all do...

I think that it is a excellent way to work the finger flexors.
I have read a study that stated that after a program based on training the finger flexors arm strength increased.
If you do this you will have one hell of a back!!!

good idea Pianomahn, however, I don't think my school would appreciate me nailing things to walls or beams. Actually, they might not notice heh.

Lift well! But don't forget to put it down afterwards.

mac, you're joking, right? finger flexors? I always thought that your forearm muscles were responsible for "finger strength".Originally posted by mac sloan:

Either way, unless you're into a sport such as rock climbing, I still don't see the point of it....maybe I'm missing something!

mac, it's a message written in code from the germans. You see, if you split it up, it starts making senses (sort of)..
fingers aren't part of a forearm (stop)
finger strength does result (stop)
more helpful because knuckles are part of ur fingers (stop)
and they won't hurt as much if u (you) punch something (stop)
I'm thinking finger = uboat and knuckles = the package.

Ive seen guys who walk around the gym holding a 45 plate while walking with just their finger tips for the same purpose.

another way to work your fingers at least in my opinion....is you flex your fingers(this should make the top part of your fingers bend forward and the res tof it being straight) and go up to a table or something..and slam it on your fingers until they are numb...good excerise

I don't see the point of doing them as part of a routine.
They'll get plent of work doing things like pullups/pulldowns, deadlifting etc.
But hey, don't let me stop you, its all good.
