The final hand jam trick you missed

Lets make your bomber hand jam even better…

Lets go through those steps

1. The L-Shape

If you haven’t heard us talk about the L-shaped starting position for a hand jam, then you obviously haven’t watched or read enough Wide Boyz content 

Before you put your hand into the crack, make an L-shape to make your hand as thin as possible before you insert it.

2. Thumb movement

For the next step of your hand jam we always say, push the tip of your thumb into the centre of your palm and towards your little finger. This expands and hardens the pulpy part below the thumb itself, and gives the hand jam some width to fill the cracks space

Now THE EXTRA TRICK: Instead of just leaving it in this position, push the tip of your thumb down towards that pulp (so now your thumb should have a bend in its joint). This little extra movement does 2 things:

1. Helps harden the thumb pulp even further

2. Ensures the tip of the thumb is out the way of the fingers for completing step 3. If you leave your thumb straight you won’t be able to do the ‘finger bar’ motion effectively.

3. Finger Bar

Finish the jam like you normally would, by pushing the tips of your 4 fingers across to the opposing crack wall.

Happy jamming,
