How to develop finger strength for cubing

[fanwuq]

I guess I haven't failed as badly as I expected. I got some of the exercises right.

I just did a OH 6x6 solve, it was hella slow, but it will develop finger strength for sure Downside: Only one hand is used ( I use my left for OH) so unless you are willing to do it with the opposite hand, it's kinda useless

OH 6x6!?!?!?!?!? You're insane.

Dan did OH 7x7, in like 15 minutes. He has a video of it.

 

[MW1990]

yup, that was my inspiration (as well as Michael Gottlieb's 6x6 OH) It sucks that the audio got removed from that video though

This reminds me of the dude that challenged MM&P to the OH 6x6.

 

[MW1990]

somebody challenged Pi to a 6x6 OH? He's not that good at that (from what I've seen of his regular 3x3 OH at least...) I would have challenged somebody else like Lofty or some of the other good OH cubers

 

[piemaster]

He fails at 3x3 OH alone. Did you see the challenge? rofl. "You know what? DNF. *breaks cube* Stupid one-handed...

 

[MW1990]

Lol wow no I didn't That is a fail haha

 

[piemaster]

want a link?

 

[MW1990]

that's alright I'll check his youtube out. Thank you though!

[fanwuq]

Looks like I was more right than I expected.

Train your grip strength if you want to cube into old age.

My finger strength is bad, I should actually improve it.
