!!! Warning !!! The training here involves danger of injury to the practitioner, please be adviced that at the first signs of pain or injury, training should be ceased...and should only be resumed after pain ceases or after consulting with a physician.

Here in this initial phase of training, the main goal is to hold the push-up position using only 10 fingertips for increasing periods of time per day.

Start with 12 sets of 5-second holds and then build up from that either by increasing your sets, or increasing the holding period.

Training Day 1

7am: 4 sets of 5-second holds
1pm: 4 sets of 5-second holds
6pm: 4 sets of 5-second holds
Total period of hold: 60 seconds

Training Day 2

7am: 4 sets of 6-second holds
1pm: 4 sets of 6-second holds
6pm: 4 sets of 6-second holds
Total period of hold: 72 seconds

Training Day 3

7am: 5 sets of 5-second holds
1pm: 5 sets of 5-second holds
6pm: 5 sets of 5-second holds
Total period of hold: 75 seconds

Training Day 4

7am: 5 sets of 6-second holds
1pm: 5 sets of 6-second holds
6pm: 5 sets of 6-second holds
Total period of hold: 90 seconds

and so on...

While undergoing this type of training, I would recommend drinking milk and taking magnesium supplements for joint recovery. Also, the fingers should be regularly massaged for increase of bloodflow to the fingers for faster recovery. Applying alternating hot and cold compress should increase the rate of recovery and adaptation. This is done by applying heat for 20 seconds, and applying cold for 15 seconds, and this process should be repeated for at least 4 times. After completing the training successfully, proceed to Iron Finger Training for more advanced training articles...
