Explosive Fingers
A speed drill for the hand: from a tight fist, the fingers are flung open as fast and wide as they go, the forearm resting on a bench.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling at a bench, forearm on the pad, hand past the edge in a tight fist.
Steps
- Snap the fingers open as fast and wide as possible.
- Close the fist again, firmly but without rushing.
- Repeat with the same speed on every rep.
Common mistakes
Opening halfway: spread the fingers fully every rep. Wrist lifting with the fingers: the forearm and wrist stay on the bench. Loose fist between reps: squeeze it tight before each snap.
Breathing
Easy and steady.
