Jointcracker Joined: Jul 16, 2006 Posts: 17 Which way do you like to crack your knuckles most? For me, it's when sometimes my right index finger get's kind of stiff. I stretch the ligaments for a couple seconds, then push down. The base makes a loud pop, and it hurts and feels good at the same time. Back to top Avarice Posted: Thu Aug 10, 2006 2:58 am    Post subject: Junior Jointcracker Joined: Aug 09, 2006 Posts: 1 What I do is put pressure on them, (like squeezing them or pushing them up against something else and kinda like flexing them.... its wierd and it doesnt feel good, but it gets out the tension in them since I write alot Back to top ccrakker Posted: Sat Aug 26, 2006 3:57 am    Post subject: Junior Jointcracker Joined: Aug 25, 2006 Posts: 5 You left out "twisting" them... This works on the middle knuckle. "Grab" a finger: put your left index finger in the space between your right thumb and the inside of your hand. (the 'crotch' where your thumb connects") grab hold of it tightly with your thumb - just the tip of your finger showing. Now quickly twist your left hand towards your body...snap!!!

For my thumbs, index fingers, and pinky fingers it is by pushing them down. For my middle and ring fingers, it is by pushing them up.

I twist, push and pull them all sorts of ways. However, when I really want to crack my finger or toe joints bad there is one sure "fire" way. I pull them while wiggling the joint from left to right. This is like the maximum stretch exercise. So okay, I'll vote pull.

Junior Jointcracker Joined: Oct 30, 2006 Posts: 2 I like pushing them up & down individually. This way I can spend more time cracking my knuckles. Back to top Crack_Addict Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 11:08 am    Post subject: Junior Jointcracker Joined: Nov 27, 2006 Posts: 7 I prefer pushing them down. Sometimes I'll push them up, depending on what I'm doing. But pushing them down seems to really make it feel good. I used to pull all of my fingers out to crack them, and people thought I was wierd. Back to top toast Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2007 1:21 pm    Post subject: Junior Jointcracker Joined: Apr 09, 2007 Posts: 4 pushing down was my favourite one, cause I could use my head as an amplifier. Just make a pair of fists and lay the lowest part of the front of the fist towards the center of both sides of the head. Like u'r gonna squash your head between ur fists, then make the crack. It sounds lot louder (to others as well) and feels more "personal" But most of those joints stopped cracking for some reason... Only the index finger wants to make the noise now, so I have to use the pull and squeezy methods. No fun if you can't get all 4 fingers in succession. Back to top cracker Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2007 2:30 pm    Post subject: Junior Jointcracker Joined: Apr 18, 2007 Posts: 4 Location: Kansas None of the above for me folks! Sorry, I'm new here as this is my first post. Been a "cracker" for probably over 30 years now I suppose. Anyway, when I pop my knuckles I twist my finger along a imaginary straight line that runs through the middle of my finger lengthwise. It is pureley a twist motion with no bending at all. Gives me a very satisfying crack and I don't have to twist very far so I never hyperextend the joint. It has always been my "opinion" that there is no damage done to my joints by cracking them in this manner (twisting). It has always been my goal to find a way to crack my joints in way that does not hyperextend the joint. It is this hyperextension that does the damage to your joint - like pulling your finger all the way back until it pops - your finger wasn't engineered for that! Try the twisting thing yourself - my guess is that you will like it. I do my knees and elbows the same way.
