Good find! I do almost the same exercises with a soy bean bucket, it comes from traditional kung fu training. Very good for wrist and forearm strength! Theres a lot of useful stuff (not only) for guitarists from the rich tradition of kung fu and chinese medicine.

Yes, a great application of Shaolin training, but I'm not sure how the polished fingernails will fare with this, anyone has tried already?

Perhaps you could use a thin glove to protect the fingernails.

Cool exercise, by the way.

If fingernails are going to get damaged by rice one has to have pretty weak fingernails.

Really nice excercise, thanks for sharing.
