Shaking hands properly

[Fritz]

I shake hands with my index finger slightly out. It gives you the upper power, and the person on the other end can't crush your hand. It's a technique a lot of musicians use.
IT's a frim hand shake but protects you from being intimidated/crushed hand lol.

I also apply this handshake, makes it impossible to get your hand crushed. Little martial art trick.

Yup. I originally started doing this hand shake because I used to be a violinist.

I am having trouble picturing that. Could someone take a pic of that.

I just extend my index and middle fingers to the inside of their wrist, kinda like I'm pointing at them and you grip their hand with your thumb, ring and pinky.

My wife shakes hands like that too, cause she's a violinist as well.

If you can't give a firm handshake, I don't respect you as a person. Simple as that.

Now wait a minute! What if you have some old man, that dosen't have much strength anymore in his hands? You not going to respect him? Not everyone has a strong handshake, and you can't jugde someone because of that. Be kind.

... come on.

I usually do the "paper covers rock" when someone puts their fist out for a bump, I think it's funny because they feel uncomfortable. Most of the time it's a fingers up, thumb out, make it clap five, then pull and make the fingers snap, then snap your fingers after. That's more of a stoner shake though. I usually toss discs with older guys, so it's usually the good old white boy cracker handshake.


As long as you initiate the handshake first, you can choose which one you like.

 

[rehder]

offer pipe with left,
pull badge with right,
kick to the balls,
knee on spine,
handcuff,
repeat

hi5

I think that was spot on :lol:

Maybe we should sticky a listing of standard handshake grips with pics and put it in the technique section :roll:

Fritz, what's the difference between a viola and a violin?...A viola burns longer.

Yeah, it's a crapshoot sometimes. Here are the variations I've had from people.

Regular handshake
Grab thumbs, move to fingers, then the fist pound.
Grab thumbs, move to fingers
Grab thumbs and hold
High Five
High five that turns into a regular five, looking for the fist pound at the end.

I tell you, when you get left hanging on the fist pump......
The guys that hold on the "grab thumbs" I'm like "let go!!!"

I'm ready to just to the regular old hand shake every time, with high fives for emphasis and that's it. Too many variations.

Fritz,

Where I come from when somebody presses their fingers to the inside of your wrist, you are being solicited...

I am just sayin'...

LOL I wasn't going to say it, but that's what I've always heard as well.

 

[DigIt]

Treat it like an Aikido master. Wait until they pull something out, like a hand or the palm for a "5" of sorts. Then move accordingly. If they offer nothing, destroy them.

My only deal is I only use my left hand to shake with enemies. I never offer my left hand to a friend. Otherwise I will do just about anything stopping right before tongue kissing with my fellow DGers.

I'm glad things are different on the West Coast. But good to know.

I hate dudes who try to crush you hand, it's alway like 50 year old guys.

I delivered 45lb bottles of water for many years and have a crushing grip, I don't need to show everyone in my handshake, I think the hard squeezers are gay.

I think that anyone playing that game is seriously deficient but when it's a 6'+ 200+ lbs man crushing a teen age girl that's assault. Total douche the idiot I'm talking of.
