    • Finger Push-ups Against the Wall - For example see this Finger Press Ups video. This is an excellent exercise to work finger, wrist, and forearm strength. It is also the first in several stages to completing Finger Push-ups on the ground. Beginners start by standing in front of wall about 3/4 arms length distance from wall and perform push-ups using palms of hands as support if needed. Intermediates work on moving feet further away from wall to increase the angel and difficulty of movement. This will help build finger strength and be useful for the continuing steps.
