Any of you do fingertip pushups?

I've heard several people did them growing up and developed some natural strength from it. I've tried them and they're definitely tough, but I was wondering if anyone had gotten any long term strenght and size from them.

You won't get any more size over normal pushups, your fingers and wrists will get stronger though which is always useful.

Let me clarify.

Yeah, refer back to my post mate.
It won't blow up your forearms much more than normal pushups, if anything.

Do fingertip pushups to strengthen your hands, not to gain mass.
To gain mas son the forearms, do the usual forearm stuff.

Yeah I'm looking for more hand strength as well. It's one of those things some guys are born with and take for granted. Don't get me wrong, I'm fairly strong, but I want huge ripped forearms. After all, they are the most visible body part.

Heavy deadlifts.
Captain of crush grippers or any heavy grippers.
Farmers walks.
And the usual bodybuilding stuff, reverge grip curls, wrist curls and all that.
