Intensity
Light, high repetition
Goal
Condition fingers, wrists and forearms in all directions with low-risk rice bucket work.
Equipment
Bucket filled with 5+ kg of dry rice

Goal: Train finger extension, rotation and wrist motion that climbing never covers - classic baseball rehab adopted by climbers.

The Circuit (30s each movement)

  1. Open & close - dig hand in, spread fingers wide, close to fist
  2. Finger extensions - push fingers open against the rice
  3. Wrist circles - fist buried, rotate both directions
  4. Grab & twist - grab rice, rotate like turning a doorknob
  5. Finger walks - walk fingertips down through the rice
  6. Wrist flicks - flick rice away with extension
  • Sets: 2 rounds
  • Rest between rounds: 2 minutes

Great as warm-up, cooldown or rest-day work. Pain-free by design - stop anything that pinches.
