False Grip Problems

Practice, it can take a little time develop the wrist strength needed. It also helps to use chalk.
And try practicing with bent arms, as you get stronger straighten out your arms, until eventually they are locked!
And, are you using magnesium chalk?
Quick question about the false grip, what are the fingers doing? When I go to curl my wrist all the way, I can't grab the ring with my fingers because they aren't flexible enough. They touch, but they can't grab. Is it in my interest to gain this flexibility or does it really not matter?
you can just buy chalk? I'll look into it...
What kind of chalk do yall recommend?
Sure you'll certainly find it at any climbing shop, or even a good sporting goods store. Its very inexpensive as well.
If you lose the grip, well you lose the grip. I have something of a similar problem with my left pinky because it's now all bent up from an accident. It tends to slip out during false grip at times. Instead of straight there is a curve though it straightens out when pressed on the floor and makes a pretty good fist when balled up.
Work on that flexibility with the wrist series.
I recommend grippy chalk http://www.gymnasticexpress.co.uk/shop/section.php?xSec=2 maybe it's cheaper on other sites, I dunno.
