Pinky power is extremely important. I learned this as a young teen from looking at my hands and just training the weakest point. For 20 years I've trained my pinky. It's a great skill that skyrockets grip force 👌

Adam as a beginner you have really inspired me to push myself and constantly bringing out new information on how to improve your mind and body. Your channel honestly has improved my life thank you so much!

I learned from Jeff Cavalier that you should grip the bar pinky first. Performance improved immediately.

This is also probably why firearm triggers are only actuated by the index or at most both the index and middle finger. Because using the little finger to do so will sacrifice heavily the grip and thus handling of the weapon in your hands.

You have just confirmed my intuition on my golfer's elbow from calisthenics. I promise I had come to the conclusion I need to stregthen the little finger, I feel it attaches directly to the elbow where it hurts. I only found your channel recently, your contents are just great, one step ahead any other on YouTube !

I study japanese sword, and yes the little fingers (and ring fingers as well) play a fundamental role in wielding the sword.

I saw your video about balistic-isometrics last time, and now I'm training my grip strength using mostly that method. It's very intense, but I feel that it's altready improving my grip strength.
Many thanks! 😊😊

Excellent tip, thanks. Good to know about these details on human physiology.
For me this relates to comparing the Karate punch to Wing Chun which uses the lower knuckles and feels stronger, in my experience anyway.

Conic handles used by armwrestler is a good way to put more strain on the pinkie.

Nice bro keep it up... In one comment i asked you for more video. And you did it. Thanks

The pinky on the non-dominate hand becoming stronger is called "compensation strength" . We became familiarized with it while shooting guns. Its up to the bioneer to find out & go into detail from that term alone.
