Pullups with middle fingers
July 02, 2011, 12:25:53 pm
I've managed to do five pull ups on my middle finger on both hands on the beast maker is this getting me stronger than just dead hanging or am I risking injury? :shrug:

If you have to ask, then I'd say highly risky!

def getting you stronger at doing pull ups on your middle finger on both hands on the beast maker.  and yes, every day you roll out of bed you are risking injury.

sorry about that, just bummed i dont have a beastmaker yet.  will some one please ship one to the states for me?

assuming you are not training for a route that has multiple bilateral monos you can probably dispense with the pull up nonsense.  we are trying to train finger strength here, so isolate that with a static hang.  if they are getting easy (it sounds as if they are) add some weight or start working on your one armers.

Beastmaker will ship to the states, there's a few people over on RC.com already got one.
Do you really want to be on your own, Billy-no-board?
