This article will give you a quick tip for turning your weak fists into concrete slabs with a simple push-up technique. Knuckle pushups are a great way to not only train your upper body, but your fists will thank you too.

Here are some things to know about knuckle pushups:

1. You want your wrists to be straight, in line with your forearm. You should perform a push-up on the first two knuckles of your hand. The thumbs and the other two knuckles should stay off the ground.

2. You want to perform these push-ups on a hard surface, preferably a wooden or tile floor. Some hipster martial artists perform these push-ups in gravel parking lots. It must have a hard surface to reap the benefits.

3. Knuckle pushups should be used in conjunction with makiwara training. To get the most out of your training, you should also practice your striking techniques on a makiwara. This will produce denser bones in the knuckles and will create calluses that will accustom the hands to hitting harder surfaces. You can create your own makiwara or buy a store bought one. Don’t buy the makiwaras that are a wall mounted rig. They will damage your hand because they don’t bounce.

Four. Practice these push-ups at least 2-3 times a week for maximum benefit.. Your hands will slowly get used to these over time, but you will quickly lose calluses if you stop doing it for too long.

5. Always stop these exercises if something hurts or you have been injured. Of course, these push-ups are going to hurt a bit. They are not easy to do, and that is the point. However, if you feel extreme pain or bruise excessively, stop immediately and seek medical attention.
