HAND & WRIST STRENGTH TESTGet in a knuckle push-up position and hold for 10-20 seconds. Make sure you have a tight fist and you are only on the II & III Metacarpals (forefinger & middle finger) knuckles. If you or your client are unable to hold in this position without rolling onto the IV & V Metacarpals (ring & small finger) then you may need to do some muscle strengthening and joint integrity exercises before you are ready to punch.
