Fist Pushups. Anonymous
HI
Why can't I do pushups on my fists?
pushups on open palm is a breaze, but fists are painful.
Do I have pussy knuckles? how should I make my calasess not so thin/shitty.
I also can't open a twist off bear, wtf?
not WEAK, just dandy hands.
also, is there anything different about open hand vs fist pushups? or does one just make you look more military style.

You know my first impression was that of a troll, but now I just don't know what to think.
For the "calasess" try dabbing medical alchol onto your hands it should harden the skin.

>I also can't open a twist off bear, wtf?
LOl... I meant I can't open a twist off bear cap without cutting my palm's skin
>>362040
I used to crack them, but it's not about my nuckles or strength at all, it's about how soft and weak the skin on my hands are, and I was wundering how I would make my hands less.. I don't know what phrase to use. Less Panzy-ish?

>For the "calasess" try dabbing medical alchol onto your hands it should harden the skin.
???? are you trying to make me do something bad to my skin or does that actually work?
>> OP
Oh wait I just did some pushups with my knuckles [called fist pushups?]
Anyways, it's not pain of my skin touching the ground, it's the pain of my kuckle's bones crushing the skin underneath.
My fists don't lay flat on the ground.

So.. what do I do? Can I flatten my fists? how? There are only 3 small bony points of my fist that connect with the ground, and it hurts like a bitch just to stay static on the ground with them let alone do pushups off of them.

Because cracking your knuckles weakens them and leads to arthritis right?

That would also explain why my non-arthritic fist in a static position hurts while doing pushups.

It is pointless to do pushups on your knuckles unless you are having wrist problems. It makes no difference in the amount of resistance that you are giving your body. If you want to do different types of pushups you should do
1) elevated foot pushups
2) guillotine pushups
3) weighted pushups
4) wide pushups
5) "diamond" (make an M instead) pushups

You seemed to have missed the sarcasm in my post. I was mocking the other anon for claiming that cracking your knuckles hurts your hands in any way other than a slightly weaker grip strength.

you must have missed the added sarcasm in my post, further promoted by the Face Palm pic I had included with my post, playing off of your sarcasm in the fact that arthritus doesn't hurt your hand while it's in a static position, nor can arthritus be promoted by cracking ones nuckles.

extra information: this post was not sarcastic.

My knuckles are all insensitive, cold scar tissue due to being a pacifist and opting to punch a wall or tree rather than kill the idiot that's pissing me off at the time. There's still some pain when doing fist pushups, so your problem is likely not caused by pansy skin. I assume it's normal to experience some pain, and it'll probably ease up after a while. Just like how you might have sore shoulders the first few times you do front squats, but you get used to it after a while.

I meant W by the way. Not M.

What are:
>2) guillotine pushups
>3) weighted pushups

And is a diamond M shaped by your hands beside your head and elbows at your sides, something else
that's hard for me, shiit.

oh, that kindof clears it up, that's what I thought.
so is:
>is a diamond M shaped by your hands beside your head and elbows at your sides, something else
correct?

>2) guillotine pushups
"Guillotine" pushups get their name because your head goes BELOW the surface your hands are on. To do a guillotine pushup grab three chairs. Put hands on two of the chairs, and toes on the last one. Do pushups but drop BETWEEN the chairs your hands are rested on.
>3) weighted pushups
Get a backpack, put stuff in backpack, do pushups.
>is a diamond M shaped by your hands beside your head and elbows at your sides, something else
Put your hands together with the thumbs touching, and the rest of the fingers pointing away from you. By doing them this way you are making it very hard for you to do pushups with bad form. Your elbows will stay tucked in. Regular diamond pushups are done with the thumbs together, and fingers touching making a diamond shape with your hands.

wtf? i crack mine all the time, and i can kill someone with 2 fingers. cracking them wont make your knuckles weak.
>> OP
>>362191
How will that do shit for my skin's toughness?
that might/probably will strengthen my grip and every other muscle in my arms, that's it.

ditch the shovel and dig with your fists

>>362040
releasing gas from joints do not make weak knuckles.

The action of the shaft of the shovel on your hands should irritate the skin into forming blisters that will eventually harden.
Rubbing alcohol actually, i use it on my feet for hiking.

You CAN do it. You're just too much of a pussy.
Don't fucking care if it hurts. Just do it.

>>362417
we're talking about my nuckles, not my palms, right? because I don't hold a shuvel's shaft with my knuckles, Or does it still irritate your nucles from being stretched our something? that doesn't sound plausable.
maybe I will poor alchahol on my hands, kills cells, recreates cells, sounds like it could work.

>>362509
are you a troll?
it's not a slight pain, it's a major pain that makes me collapse to the feeling of bruising my nuckles.
>> Anonymous
Do it on the first two knuckles (of the forefinger and the middle finger).

>>362593
Well, that would fix your problems about opening bear bottles.

If you want stronger knuckles, as in the bone, get a boxing bag, punch the shit out of the boxing bag.
That will make the bone grow denser.

???????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FOR REAL?
How does bone growth work??
I had no idea
tell me more.
Your bone actually becomes denser like a muscle gets bigger to compensate for compaction? wow I learned something today.
it makes sense too.
Can I hit other parts of my body to make their bones denser? if so, tell please.

I'm pretty sure you're not trolling because I swear I heard of this before. excited.
TY A+

oh oh one more question, will this also flatten the plain of your fist and it's nuckles? That's something else I was wundering, and confused as to how punching things makes your nuckles flat, now I get it..
