Who or what is parkour?

ever hear of power putty? its like silly putty but more firm.

theres this exercise where you hold the putty between your knuckles and your first finger joint in your palm area, then bend your fingers at that first joint to the flatten the putty.

its kinda like making a leopard fist in karate or what ever but with you holding the putty in your hand:




anyways, a lot of times you guys are running and jumping and hanging on to ledges by your finger tips, if you havnt tried this power putty stuff its like 10$'s most places that sells it and it will do incredible things for your finger strength/ability to hang on to ledges by your fingers.

assuming you dont already use it.

I used to rock climb alot and used a combination of power putty and a dynaflex gyro ball, i did all kinds of exercises with it. the power putty comes with a pamphlet with like 8 or 9 exercises in it, the one i explained above is one of them.

you can flatetn it out a little, polint your fingers together, lay the putty over your fingers, and spread your fingers out, you can ball it up and put it between 2 fingers and flatten it, you can wrap it around 2 fingers and spread them, you can wrap it around a bent finger and straighten the finger out, you can make a fist with it in your hand, you can hold it with one hand and stretch it out with the other, you can do the exercise above. like most hand exercise tools work more so the wrist, this really works the whole hand, the exercises i detailed above works the back of hte hand and the mucles that are actually on your fingers like crazy.

ive used this stuff alot.

heres a good video with some exercises, it looks like there is a few diffrent companys that make a putty tool, ive only used the power putty at 1:20 they do the exercise i was talking about
