Strongman Fingal'S Fingers

Strongman Fingal'S Fingers demonstration

How to do it

  1. 1Lift a hinged strongman pole (Fingal’s Finger) from the ground and drive it up using leg and hip extension, then press and walk it past vertical to tip it over.

Coaching cues

  • Stand with feet shoulder-width at the free end of the hinged pole, shins close to the implement.
  • Grip the end securely with both hands underneath, chest up, shoulders packed, and spine neutral.
  • Brace your core, pull the pole tight to your body, and initiate the lift by driving through your heels, extending knees and hips together.
  • Keep the implement close as it rises past the knees; re-adjust your hand position if needed to transition from lifting to pushing.
  • Continue hip and knee extension while driving the pole upward; as it nears vertical, step forward under it and press through the arms to guide it over.
  • Finish by tipping the pole past its balance point under control, letting it fall safely to the opposite side.
  • Reset your stance on the new side, re-brace, and repeat. Avoid jerking, twisting, or rounding your back at any point.
