Gripmaster® Exercises

Thumb Pinch

What it does: provides isolated strength to the thumb and the side of the index finger for a strong lateral hold. Strengthens thumb and index finger for greater stability and coordination.

Recommended for: golf, hockey, fishing, rock climbing, gaming, keyboard / mouse use and stress.

How to do it: place the hook of the ergonomic palm bar on the inside of the bent index finger. With the tip of the thumb slightly bent, flex the thumb on the first button. Note: for increased resistance, flex the thumb tip on the first two buttons at the same time.

As with any exercise, excessive or incorrect use can lead to pain or injury. Therefore progress slowly and increase reps and resistance very cautiously. Standard advice is to consult your GP before embarking on any fitness program.
