The Great Khali aces knuckle push-ups at 53: Know the surprising strength benefits
Former professional wrestler Dalip Singh, known as The Great Khali, shared a video of himself performing knuckle push-ups on Instagram. The exercise, performed on his closed fists, requires a high level of upper-body strength, stability, and control. Dr. Mrinal Prakash, an orthopaedic consultant, explained that knuckle push-ups strengthen the wrists, forearms, and upper body and improve grip and muscular endurance.
However, the exercise demands greater body control due to the smaller base of support and the need to maintain a neutral wrist position. Dr. Prakash advised that those new to knuckle push-ups should first master conventional push-ups and gradually introduce the more challenging variation, preferably on a softer surface. He also cautioned that people with wrist, hand, finger, or shoulder issues should approach this exercise with extra care.
