Abstract
A finger strengthening device (FSD) includes a plurality of finger strengthening elements formed therewith. The FSD is attachable to a structure in a plurality of different orientations to permit a variation in finger exercise techniques.
Claims20
A finger strengthening system comprising:
- a finger strengthening device (FSD) having a first side and a second side defined on opposite sides thereof;
- a plurality of different elements formed into the FSD to permit a plurality of different finger engagement positions and different finger orientations on the first side of the FSD;
- a quad cleat having four angled sidewalls connectable to the FSD on the second side thereof;
- and
- wherein the FSD can be rotated to any one of four angular orientations corresponding to one of the four angled sidewalls of the quad cleat.
2 more elements
A finger strengthening device (FSD) comprising:
- a plurality of finger strengthening elements formed therewith;
- at least one through aperture configured to receive a mechanical fastener to attach the FSD to a structure;
- wherein the plurality of elements includes an angled grip, a step grip, an elongate slot, an S-shaped track, a triple finger slot, and a double finger slot and
- wherein each of the plurality of elements are separate and spaced apart from one another on a first side of the FSD.
1 more element
