The fingertip push-up is a push-up variant which requires a lot strength in your fingers. This exercise will increase strength in your forearms and fingers. When your fingers aren’t strong enough yet, we recommend to start with a plank position on your fingertips and try to hold this position for at least 10 to 15 seconds. Ultimately you can try to beat the world record for one-arm push-ups on one finder!
How to start with the fingertip push-up
In fact any push-up variation can be performed on your fingertips. You only have to make sure that your hand-palm does not touch the ground and that your fingers are strong enough to hold your body weight. You can start with a plank position on your fingertips and later on start with push-ups on 10 fingertips and slowly progress towards less fingertips by the time you become stronger.
