Does working out your forearms strengthen your piano playing?

Q: I worked out my forearms, I wonder if its going to do anything with my playing. I noticed when I did Hannon exercises that it was my forearms and fingers anyway that hurt then a couple days later I could play like i’m on crack. so whats the deal?

A: THERE ARE NO MUSCLES IN THE FINGERS.This is a revelation to most people, including the odd lot called pianists. The second revelation is the fourth and fifth fingers share one tendon….Your hands (knuckles to wrist) forearms, upper arms, shoulder and back muscles are all involved in any moderate level piece.What do know about crack? I’m kidding you. Don’t overdo any piano or other body exercise without checking with someone who knows physical training and or the physicality of piano playing.Best regards, Petr B.
