    Push ups on knuckles....fine.

    One thing I see people do dangerously wrong are finger tip push ups.
    They do them on their finger pads with all the little finger joint bending back against all their body weight.

    Finger tips are finger tips not pads...if you cant do tips then start on the wall or do other exercises to strengthen tips.

    Alot of exercises today and blown out of proprtion as far as being bad.
    Example...bridges. I have never meet anyone who got hurt from these and all wrestlers do them as well as lots of other atheletes.

    Too many Liberals in the fitness industry.
    By that I mean people who deny evidence to justify their own logic. " Uh I think such and such could happen so therefore it will and nobody should do it".
    Too many cookie cutter fitness mags for whimps.

    Second what Jeff says about bridges. They're awesome for building neck and back power and I'm not crippled yet. They have rather made my pusture more upright than maken me a hunchback.
    And now, back to the thread :D

    What about the neck warm up where you roll you legs over your head and have your neck and top of your back on the floor, are these ok? I do these a lot during warmups and I dont want to do any bad exercises.
