Cris has fixed all my finger (& shoulder) injuries. Highly recommended.

Day 5... still warming up. Highly recommended!

@felipe2fp 3 года назад

Hahaha me too. This is like my full session ... But his tip about range of motion was very cool.

@6darkness6eternal6 3 года назад

My left middle finger was very happy when it saw this pop up in my subscriptions.

@Fred-oz3tw 3 года назад

Lol mine as well. What did u take from the video for this problem?^^ I will work on range of this fingers motion.

@jerryshine3106 3 года назад

This is fantastic. There are so many videos out there on hand warm-up and strength but this is far and away the best I've seen.

@Jagknorr 3 года назад

I started just grabbing a bunch of random holds in a variety of positions and tension to warm up (while still standing on the ground). Its worked wonders for my fingy warmup. Similar to a portable finger board but its free and always where ever you are. Just don’t go nuts right off the bat and your chances of destroying yourself go way down.

@braydonsmedley5652 3 года назад

I like this too. I usually start with big jugs and then work my way smaller slowly and finish on one and two finger pockets

@larryseibold4287 Год назад

I would love to see a follow up with Christiano on rehab progression exercises for the elbow, both lateral and medial. There are a lot of new ideas out there, and it gets pretty hard to sort the good advice from the chaff. Also, climbers elbows are not the same as Achilles tendon or knee tendon issues. What should i do the day after a flare up? What should I do before a climbing session if I am just starting to get better?

It would be amazing if you could have a look some time and give me a little feedback. I’m stuck working with an iPhone and budget action camera for now but hoping to get new kit soon. ✌🏼

@MeshiMeshi-vu2hs 3 года назад

Thank you for a video! Question about range of motion. Not all my finger tips can touch the palm. Worst has actually a 1 cm gap on both middle fingers. I tried MET exercises and I didn't gain much (maximum 3 mm gain). What are other causes for this and What I can do about it?

@braydonsmedley5652 3 года назад

Do your fingers hurt? There might be inflammation in one of the joints

@MeshiMeshi-vu2hs 3 года назад

@@braydonsmedley5652 Answer is kinda complicated. I would call it more as discomfort then pain. Definitely no pain while climbing or crimping on hangboard which is causing swelling 10-28 hours afterwards. I consider it might be inflammation but it densest react on any dose of NSAIDs drugs.

@braydonsmedley5652 3 года назад

@@MeshiMeshi-vu2hs that's really strange🤔 I'm not a medical professional so I dont really know anything beyond basic finger injuries I have dealt with but if the pain/discomfort goes away when you get fully warmed up I have thought that usually indicates muscular issues. If it just gets less uncomfortable but the pain is still there after warming up I've usually found it to be ligament/tendon type stuff. Hopefully that helps but once again I am not a doctor so take anything I say with a grain of salt😂

@MeshiMeshi-vu2hs 3 года назад

@@braydonsmedley5652 There are not muscles in fingers. Its mysterious ligament or joint issue. I visit orthopedist (specializing on climbers) with it and got only NSAIDs recommendation. I also try 2 months rehab rice and puddy exercises with no climbing, Ice therapy with nitrogen wipers, NSAIDs localized by spray and systemic. And I am trying compressions now. I have no pain or any worsening of condition while worming up, neither while climbing or hang board. It swells 10-24 hours after exercise and sits there for 2-3days being aggravated by anything and then it goes to discomfort while trying to touch 1st pad of finger to 3th pad with visible gap.

@JJ-iu5hl 3 года назад

His climbers do all of this as a warmup?

@jms547 3 года назад

What was the lumbrical exercise? Was it just to get the squishy egg right into the webbing and hold it there? Or are you meant to squeeze the egg by "cutting it with your finger scissors"?

@jonathanhagglund3369 3 года назад

I understood it as you should be "cutting the egg with your fingers" I tried it with just using my other hand as resistance and it felt really good and the fingers got warm fast.

@AndrewMacFarlane 3 года назад

It's to use for lateral squeezing. Often we only focus on squeezing towards the palm but this motion works the lumbrical muscles that support our joints.

@jms547 3 года назад

@@AndrewMacFarlane thanks, I get what it's for but I just wanted to clarify what the exercise is. Chris only demonstrated getting the egg in between the fingers and didn't say anything about what you do once you have it there!

@lewishole7659 3 года назад

@@jms547 I know this is a super late reply but I just tore my lumbrical muscle and my pt gave me some exercises for it. You’re basically acting like your fingers and scissors and you try to squeeze the egg in between them.

@jms547 3 года назад

@@lewishole7659 thanks! That makes sense :-)

@tobiasgries144 3 года назад

regarding range of motion. the pads on my middle- and ringfinger on both hands are not even close to touching the inside of my hands. it actually hurts a bit in the joints when forcing it. should i still do the same exercise?

@jasonhawksworth3702 3 года назад

@AndrewMacFarlane 3 года назад

@ThundersLeague 3 года назад

Of course you're never gonna get injured like this. You spend 1 hour warming up and the gym kicks you out before you had a chance to climb.

@HermitianAdjoint 3 года назад

Yes, I would really like to get one to three warm up exercises highlighted for a general warmup. That way I could take a step into the right direction without having to spend hours.

@kardnails8729 3 года назад

Really? I think this can easily be done in 15-20 minutes.

It's like you didn't watch the video... He said it takes 15-20 min once you get the hang of it.

@anguskerr9977 3 года назад

I realise this is warm up not rehab, but does anyone use contrast treatment for tweaky fingers? I’ve been doing it recently and it really helps!

@alexgalays910 3 года назад

Seems too long and too tool dependent to be the main warmup routine.

@raiemie7365 3 года назад

you can replace the things he uses with what you have at your gym and you dont have to do all of them but yeah if youre at a crag or something this is unrealistic but I think the point was to show a lot of manners on how to warm up your fingers/forearms and they are great Imo
