York Strong Handgrips

York Strong Handgrips Review



I am a person who does NO weights whatsoever, but still went for the extra strong. I'm happy I did. My wife however found them way too difficult, I think hand size may have something to do with it. However, my personal opinion is that as these are resistance springs, each time you press the springs the resistance gets than little bit weaker, so just go for the extra strong and they will last ages (in theory).

A little annoying thing is the noise, I mean I could understand a little squeak after some heavy use, but a squeak started after 5 or 6 presses! For this I removed a star as I can see this annoying the misses, which means i'm gonna get a hard time now.

Another thing, though not a complaint, is why two? I couldn't figure out the benefit, does anyone use two at the same time? I just use one whilst working on the computer or watching TV as a very causal light exercise. I know the use is self explanatory but at least a guide or something as to develop a routine would nice or something to advise how to chart your progress, but nothing came with this.

The photo shows grey and black trims, but the actual grip is black with grey trims, no big deal for me.

Very effective workout - Jonathan Mcgovern -
Convinced by previous reviewers I decided to buy the extra strong version, but when the grips first arrived I was a little disappointed at how difficult they were. After a few attempts they started to loosen up so no problem there. These things are great for strengthening forearms, even better than the Powerball which I rave about. Loses a star for the incredibly irritating noise.



i love york`s handgrips......... - Mr. Md M. Billah - uk
i have been taking exercise for last 8 years...& i tried lots of handgrips.but the york`s handgrips r really amazing...



They are Ok. - J. Thompson - Cornwall UK
For the price they are good, after a little while they start to creak while using them but some WD-40 sorts that out. Definately go for extra strong unless you know that you have a weak grip strength or if you want to be able to squeeze them for hours! Keep in mind though: they are big, my girlfriend has no chance even holding them without even attempting to squeeze them!



Go for a cheaper one - beastialpride - uk
One of the handle's has already ripped. The stiffness is good however, but it is very squeaky. I personally cannot see the benefit of buying this York instead of a generic one at a lower price.

3* because it's not bad but nothing special neither.
