Palm Peel-Aways
Intrinsic hand strength, finger independence, wrist stability
Why it works
Palm peel-aways build the small intrinsic muscles of the hand that support grip strength and wrist stability. The slow, deliberate finger isolation creates strength you can't get from regular grip exercises.
How to do it
- Press your palm flat onto a wall or the floor
- Peel one finger at a time off the surface, starting from the pinky
- Replace fingers one at a time, slow and deliberate, to build intrinsic hand strength
- Wrist stays loaded throughout

Common questions

The minimum effective dose for Palm Peel-Aways is 1 min. That is the shortest time that still creates a real, measurable change. Hit the dose and the benefit starts; everything after it is a bonus, not a requirement.
What does Palm Peel-Aways target?
It targets intrinsic hand strength, finger independence, wrist stability. Done daily at its 1 min dose, it keeps that range and strength available rather than letting it fade between sessions.
