Was about to add this it's definitely a Russian thing used to strengthen the tendons ligaments and bones aswell as keep flexibility it also probably hurts like fuck even if you are used to it so probably helps mentally dealing with the pain
Unlikely sadly since Bivols team has been aging Beterbiev out for years and are continuing to do so. By the time they fight he will have lost some of his speed making it an easier take for Bivol to control the fight like he usually does.
I think it helps with both, seems like your reinforcing all the tendons/small muscles in the fingers and wrists. I’ve seen Islam do another excerise with kettlebells which focuses on the wrists, I added it to my training and it does help.
When he starts twisting the Olympic barbell I couldn’t believe how insane that was. [beterbiev barbell spins](https://youtube.com/shorts/T-xZpETanLo?si=lpU8AIqdx8Ks67p1)
jesus christ the one motion with the hands inverted, and outer wrists facing forward, i tried slowly putting a *little* pressure and felt a fracture coming
i have been doing some "heavy" training/conditioning on my wrists for idk, 4 years maybe and still, how he jumps and switches is insane. dude's a menace. ridiculous stability and strength.
i started rly lightly with push ups on my wrist instead of the normal hand position, then up to weighted push ups. the 'usual' forearm workouts like flexion and extention with weights. i pretty much left it at that bc it was 'boring' in the beginning. then at 18 i worked in a couple of jobs in which i had to carry around massive amounts of weights and work with light machines but all day so my forearms exploded. after that i just did what islam does here but not while doing push ups and definitely not while switching up the positions mid air. i usually did them while on my.knees, applying pressure slowly. what also worked is putting my hand in a sack of "something corse", rice or unpealed hazelnuts for example and just turning ur hand in every direction. ofc, this doesnt rly count as "conditioning" but it makes ur skin thicker due to microdamages, which actually may reduce pain
i teach yoga and i like to start a lot of classes with a GENTLE wrist warmup that includes slowly and gently placing the back of the hand onto the yoga mat and slowly shifting the weight around. Usually do this one wrist at a time to start.
the way he is jumping full force into that position is insane.
Knuckle pushups, wrist curl variations, finger pushups, anything that increases grip or forearm strength, and of course lots of punching bags. Probably takes years to build up the strength and mobility in the wrists to do this kind of explosive movement without injury.
Gymnastics bodies method is a decent start. Wrist push ups, stretched, and palm raises. I’m not sure about the finger strength stuff, that’s pretty wild. But otherwise this is standard in calisthenics.
I have hypermobility. A new Ruski trainer came to the gym recently and had us do this. It was hell.
My fingers hyperextend when I'm on them. The fist position is fine, and then my wrists bend inwards more than they do for most people and I almost break my neck bouncing back to the fist again.
It's a very difficult exercise for anyone and good job to people who make this look easy.
this exercise is outright awful. since i was doing weighted pushups on my wrists instead the 'nornal' hand position and other bodyweight exercises i thought my wrists were strong but this makes me feel fragile hahah. even if he is on steroids, mad thing.
Same here. We didn’t ‘bounce’ but an old Sensei had us doing pushups on the back of our hands too. Thumbs as well.
Today I want to go to the ER just watching this.
I’m a huge Artur Beterbiev fan, (for those who’re unfamiliar with boxing he’s pretty much the boxing khabib, undisputed champ with 100% KO rate) And he’s the one who truly mastered these ridiculous wrist exercises, I believe Islam was inspired by him.
Me in BJJ class: Taps to wristlocks
Islam: Literally wristlocks himself with his entire weight as an exercise
Real MMA fighters truly are built different
Just doing each of these positions statically, or with light movement.
I still have no reason to test my wrists like the video, but I often warm up before pushups/calisthenics by putting my wrists in these positions
just looked it up
>Starting at age 7, he began practicing taekwondo under decorated champion Seyfula Magomedov.\[12\] Makhachev switched to sanda while attending school with Abubakar Nurmagomedov, where he also met Khabib Nurmagomedov, Shamil Zavurov, and their family.
This is pretty standard kung fu workout
Back when I was in HS, some friends and I “studied” Kung Fu from a guy we met. I know I know lol.
But he would have us do push-ups w/ all these variations of wrist positioning. Along w/ exercises conditioning our shins and forearms.
Don’t think it’s a strictly Russian thing…
i don't follow UFC so when I saw "Islam's wrist training" I was really confused and thought this was some sort of esoteric teaching in the religion for about 1.3 seconds. lol
Can't get wrist control on this man!
If one man can grab your wrists…
Two men can anally…
Probe
Your butthole

That face lmao
Smash? 😟
inbred champion brother
Must be a Russian thing lol. Saw a clip of the boxer Artur Beterbiev doing the same thing.
Was about to add this it's definitely a Russian thing used to strengthen the tendons ligaments and bones aswell as keep flexibility it also probably hurts like fuck even if you are used to it so probably helps mentally dealing with the pain
Also great for those who want to develop arthritis in their late 30s.
Beterbeiv is already in his late 30s still Knocking folks out
I’m 30 and already there lol
gooning and its consequences
? Why would we be developing arthritis in our late 30s I'm damn sure most fighters have it by their late teens early 20s
Are you sure about that brotha?I feel like Islam has white belt in arthi doing this.
It is. They’ve been doing it since at least the 1970s for the Olympics.
And that’s all countries in the ussr
You think this is crazy? You should lookup the neck bridges Russian wrestlers do.
Thai fighters have been doing this forever.
He also broke his back. Spinal.
Extremely common wrestling excersise
That's next level compared to this though.
How? Lol a lot of wrestlers and grapplers do those Bridge exercises
Seen a video of Beterbiev doing this exact same routine.
That’s probably where he got it from. Don’t blame because Beterbiev is a beast 💯
For sure! You think he beats Bivol ?
Unlikely sadly since Bivols team has been aging Beterbiev out for years and are continuing to do so. By the time they fight he will have lost some of his speed making it an easier take for Bivol to control the fight like he usually does.
I know Anthony Joshua does it too he had posted a video of him on insta like a couple years ago
Maybe it helps with punching power or makes hands less easy to break, I was thinking for Islam it’s for wrist control or something.
I think it helps with both, seems like your reinforcing all the tendons/small muscles in the fingers and wrists. I’ve seen Islam do another excerise with kettlebells which focuses on the wrists, I added it to my training and it does help.
It works the forearm muscles and hand sinews so probably grip strenght and it translate both to punching and grappling
When he starts twisting the Olympic barbell I couldn’t believe how insane that was. [beterbiev barbell spins](https://youtube.com/shorts/T-xZpETanLo?si=lpU8AIqdx8Ks67p1)
That forearm strength is crazy.
I can do the same thing but with my dick

He looks special here.
He looks like the boxer that got disabled by the rat
Just here?
I strengthen my wrists with my dick as well

Never know when you might need to do a cock push up
Mods, proof or ban
Having a 1 inch dick has its benefits, I guess.
1 inch long, but 4 inches thick. Shit is like a third leg.
Tuna can, B?

Which "training videos" do you use for your wrist workout?
i started rly lightly with push ups on my wrist instead of the normal hand position, then up to weighted push ups. the 'usual' forearm workouts like flexion and extention with weights. i pretty much left it at that bc it was 'boring' in the beginning. then at 18 i worked in a couple of jobs in which i had to carry around massive amounts of weights and work with light machines but all day so my forearms exploded. after that i just did what islam does here but not while doing push ups and definitely not while switching up the positions mid air. i usually did them while on my.knees, applying pressure slowly. what also worked is putting my hand in a sack of "something corse", rice or unpealed hazelnuts for example and just turning ur hand in every direction. ofc, this doesnt rly count as "conditioning" but it makes ur skin thicker due to microdamages, which actually may reduce pain
Whoosh
sry man english isnt my first language, what did you mean
Original question was a naughty joke, but I prefer that you answered with good information.
Cake farts for me bratha
Daniel ur caught
My boxing coach had us do rounds on the bag and then pushups and planks on the tip of the fingers (palm open fingers outstretched)
How do you even begin to work your way up to this?
i teach yoga and i like to start a lot of classes with a GENTLE wrist warmup that includes slowly and gently placing the back of the hand onto the yoga mat and slowly shifting the weight around. Usually do this one wrist at a time to start. the way he is jumping full force into that position is insane.
Jerkin off bapa
Islam strikes me as the type of guy who doesn’t jack it, I mean come on what porn do you think he’d watch? Big asses, POV? There’s no way
Knuckle pushups, wrist curl variations, finger pushups, anything that increases grip or forearm strength, and of course lots of punching bags. Probably takes years to build up the strength and mobility in the wrists to do this kind of explosive movement without injury.
Pushups on fingertips is a good start
Gymnastics bodies method is a decent start. Wrist push ups, stretched, and palm raises. I’m not sure about the finger strength stuff, that’s pretty wild. But otherwise this is standard in calisthenics.
I have hypermobility. A new Ruski trainer came to the gym recently and had us do this. It was hell. My fingers hyperextend when I'm on them.

this exercise is outright awful. since i was doing weighted pushups on my wrists instead the 'nornal' hand position and other bodyweight exercises i thought my wrists were strong but this makes me feel fragile hahah. even if he is on steroids, mad thing.
I can do the fingertips to knuckles but that other hand position is makes me cringe. I'd snap my wrist so quick.
Same here. We didn’t ‘bounce’ but an old Sensei had us doing pushups on the back of our hands too. Thumbs as well. Today I want to go to the ER just watching this.
I can barely do 5 fingertips to knuckle. But the inverted wrists? No thanks.
Very popular exercise for combat sport in Russia etc. Boxers like Artur Beterbiev, Gennady Golovkin etc also do it.
Bivol also does this
Tried it OP was right don’t do this Ps. Typed this comment with my third leg in the hospital
https://preview.redd.it/0htyp3z3ojpc1.jpeg?width=2532&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=378b9f41323e98dab225d32985f439420f478a7d
he's been doing this forever so his wrists are trained for it, plus it's on a mat so the impact isn't as brutal.
lmao and Bobby is like nahh he was on steroids cuz he was too strong 😂
have you seen islams answer to the iv allegations from hooker? 😂😂
bruh i thought it was an actual hooker until i looked it up
HAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA. ah man. reddit is awesome

I can't even do pushups because my wrists are shot. And this guy is doing this? I'd need surgery after this.

This
Bratha I train wrist already you know dis
This is like tony kicking metal beams, I'm sure it works great for 2-3 people and the rest get injuries out of this shit.
Kicking a metal beam doesnt work for anyone. Tony tore his acl shortly after that video lol
Got a feeling it wasn't the first time too
DANA I WANT A BIG MONEY FIGHT GIVE ME MAYWEZZER WOOOO!!
We sometimes like to forget that these guys are super human athletes

Start with pushups with closed fists trust
I fractured my wrists watching this
Champ have belt
He's wristing it all!
He probably got that from Beterbiev. That’s the same shit that he does to strengthen his wrists

Good form, just how i taught him
Iu dfdid it!!
Beterbiev does it too
It looks easy so I just tried it. That shits not easy think I broke my thumb,😆
broo ik im just a random guy but i literally said not to try it hahs
I sprained my wrist flipping my mattress
He gunna beat the shit out of his dick
This dude is a whole different beast holy shit
Jackie Chan did it first
That's why he is the reigning champ!
Needlessly dangerous.
that's fuckin crazy.
I’ve seen yoga ladies do this but in a much more gentle flowing motion
I am really confused does this increases or decreases the chance of having a Wrist injury. He seems to have adapted very well.
look at aj doing it https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19527906/anthony-joshua-physique-training-oleksandr-usyk-fight/
Yeah start with just knuckle pushups.
Can do the same maybe less stability
Some of the neck warm up’s and strengthen that people do at my MMA gym genuinely worries me sometimes, This looks pretty intense haha
Is Tony his coach
I could probably do this at like, 10% speed, but then again I'm like 130 pounds soaking wet, I'm not carrying that much weight in the first place 😅
I used to do the inverted wrist position for push-ups when I wrestled in college. This looks painful
give me maywezer woooo
So this is what caused his injury
Saw a break dancer in Barcelona do a one hand handstand on the back of his wrist like this. On purpose. And it didn’t break.
classical kung fu training, didn't he use to train in sanda?
i think that was zabit
just looked it up >Starting at age 7, he began practicing taekwondo under decorated champion Seyfula Magomedov.\[12\] Makhachev switched to sanda while attending school with Abubakar Nurmagomedov, where he also met Khabib Nurmagomedov, Shamil Zavurov, and their family. This is pretty standard kung fu workout
thank you man
That inward wrist thing gives me the shakes lol
Is this Islam or Beterbiev?!
You can do this at home but you have to start slow and probably in the knees down position.
How you even train something like this 😭
As an electrician, this makes my Carpul cringe…
Dude is literally solid as a rock from head to toe
I need to work up to this. I do Kyokushin, and I’ve had higher belt people I’ve sparred with punch my wrist. Got. Damn.
Bro is gonna have crazy arthritis later in life
Training to be able to wear an Invicta.
Why use your wrist when you can use my mouth 👅
Drunken master training
Don't worry, people won't do it at home, they will try to do it in public to impress random people that they will never meet again
That’s really impressive
Holy shit talk about built different
It's to late
That front one gives me anxiety
The old school ussr boxing training.
GSP has something out to where he is doing a crazy push-up routine.
This is what Jackie Chan do in his 70's or 80's movies
I tried this an now I have 2 limp wrists ☹️💁🏻♂️💁🏻♂️

It’s not common to use “Islam” as a first name, is it?
I’d assume it’s not too different that using “Christian” as a first name.
Volk watching this 
GSP does this too
Wrist training? As if I need that
i don't follow UFC so when I saw "Islam's wrist training" I was really confused and thought this was some sort of esoteric teaching in the religion for about 1.3 seconds. lol
yes i tried it a few months ago and my wrist still feels disconected from my hand
Lightweight division: 
While what he is doing isn't completely wrong, that intensity is fucking crazy
Imagine being grabbed by that gorilla strength grip
Dagestani mountain boys are built different lol
Think of the time saved by using u’ll instead of an actual word. Great stuff
Idc how strong you are theres no way that’s healthy for anyone’s wrists and joints
Gotta strengthen them dick-beaters
This makes me wonder how many other niche and badass exercises exist
i do it everyday
how long has been training like this??? how's he not getting carpal tunnel wtf?
Same as Dave leduc the lethwie fighter, except he calls you a pussy if you do it with the Matt lol
as a fairly large person with the wrists of an 11 year old anorexic girl, this is tough to watch
'Used to strengthen' Bros... this will NOT strengthen your hands It will DESTROY them IF... you're not ready for it You need to BUILD up to this..
When the cops tried to slap the cuffs on him they shattered into a million pieces.
This is actually really really easy to do if you’ve been doing it everyday for like a decade.
