Wondering if anyone trains this way for their fingers, hands, & fore arms? Is it effective? Also wondering what kind of rice & where you purchased a 20lb pound bag? Any other ideas on the subject? Thanks.

It is an excellent way to strengthen the finger extension muscles that are in opposition to the finger grip muscles. Any type of rice will do get it anywhere that sells rice. put your hand in and begin extending your fingers.

Or u could just flick ur fingers outwards starting against the thumb. Do this rapidly for as long and as fast as you can... no rice, no bucket, better workout.

Done and Done... close down the tread.

Just go climbing more. That is what gets your fingers, hands & forearms strong. Save the rice for burritos.
