Gripmaster Finger Excerciser, Medium Tension ( Red)

Gripmaster Finger Excerciser, Medium Tension ( Red) Review

The `Gripmaster Finger Exerciser' is an excellent piece of equipment that can help a wide range of problems, as well as helping with finger strength in general. This is ergonomically designed so it fits into your hand easily and I have found it doesn't slip or move around, like cheaper copies I have seen. This uses springs for tension and comes in a range of different strengths. I recommend you start off light and build up, I went for the red (medium) grip at first and although it is useable, it was hard work. This comes with a small booklet describing various exercises you can do and after using this for just a few minutes each day you will quickly see results. This is great for accident rehabilitation, climbers, musicians and a whole other range of activities where finger strength is a must. If you like this I also highly recommend a Powerball which is fantastic for wrist and forearm strength and which is addictive to use. All in all, this is a simple but effective piece of exercise equipment.

Gripmaster Finger Excerciser, Medium Tension ( Red) Feature

• Exercises each finger individually. Develops forearm strength.
• Increases endurance and coordination. Improves grip.
• Ergonomic palm bar for comfort and control.

i am convinced my recovery from surgery was speeded up maybe 30% by using this

its ok for fun!! - Gazanb - France
If you are seriously considering this to strengthen your hands, save your money or buy a gripmaster suited to your ability. The ball is ok for squeezing excercises but the rubber band bits aren't much use. I recommend you look at:Gripmaster Finger Excerciser



Ok.... - SupremeDalek -
I've bought one of the alternative egg shaped one's as well, which I find to be a much better type of material to squeeze...this one isn't very pliabe, which means it fatiques my hand much more quickly - which results in poor work-out/conditioning etc. However, the rubber band type contraption that you put your fingers through (my hands are about medium/large and even they're a bit tight) is a great idea, previously I'd just used normal rubber bands to strengthen hand/wrist extension. The ideal solution would be drill a hole in the other squeezy one and use the rubber bands from this one!!






hand master work out - A. Higgins -
I think this treatment for hand weakness works well. the only downside for me. the finger straps are very tight on my large hands and cut in to my fingers, so i'm unable to uses for more than ten minutes at a time.

Pro Hands X-Heavy Tension Hand & Finger Exerciser - Dark Grey 11lb

Pro Hands X-Heavy Tension Hand & Finger Exerciser - Dark Grey 11lb Review

This is a pretty nice piece of equipment, that will be effective for most people.

The only possible problem is that the 11b finger pull will likely not be enough if you are considering using these for genuinely serious use (weight-training, power-lifting, climbing etc.), which is what these are supposedly aimed at.

So unless they make a significantly harder set you'll probably only really use them to warm up before moving onto stronger grippers or other grip building exercises.

Which is a shame as they do a very good job of exercising your whole grip (including pinky), and so there must be a market for say 15lb and 20lb versions of these.

Pro Hands X-Heavy Tension Hand & Finger Exerciser - Dark Grey 11lb Feature

• #1 hand exercisers in the world!
• Challenges each finger individually using patented spring-loaded finger piston technology
• Greatly improves hand, wrist, and forearm strength

Pro-hands you'll get them..... - Mr. D. G. Pelling -
Having done various training exercises and used various techniques to improve grip strength over the years, these really work. Be aware they do come in different strengths this being the strongest,it fits neatly in the hand and has the option of full hand grip or work through idividual finger grips unlike a lot of other handgrips. Also unlike the usual handgrips it strays in the hand and doesn't twist out of your hand when they get sweaty. You can fit it in your back pocket and one grip works for both hands so take it anywhere if you so desire,work hard and improve your grip a well designed and worth while purchase.

York Extra strong Handgrips

York Extra strong Handgrips Review

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.

York Extra strong Handgrips Feature

• Types of materials used. Metal,P.U. Foam & Plastic
• Great for strengthening your grip and toning your forearms
• Spring coil resistance
• Soft foam handles provide a comfortable grip

Good Product but with a Major Flaw - Corin.BH -
Got these as an exercise to do while watching TV, and were great for a few weeks, but after that they started to squeak every time they were used. This was very annoying when used while using them.

They do the job they were made for so would be fine if you don't mind the squeaking!

I did buy another set and had the same problem.






very good - mike -
these work very effectively you can see a difference within a few day the only down side is that they start to squeek after only a few times, expect some brusing on your palm which stopped me from working on that arm for a few days






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...

Powerball 250 Hz Regular - Blue

Powerball 250 Hz Regular - Blue Review

I have my powerball for a couple of years now. I must say it's an excellent work-out tool.
Not only that, it's low impact and you can make the excercises as mild or as tough as you like!
The LED lights keeps this thing interesting because the harder you spin it the brighter it gets.
So if you're a bit competetive you try to let it shine brighter each time you use it.
As a bonus side effect it prevents RSI or any strain injury, it does the blood circulation a world of good,
and gets the muscles really warmed up before sports. It doesn't only train your hand and arm, holding it in different angles it also trains you shoulders, deltoids, and some of the muscles indirectly in the back and side area. (best to stand up straight for that.)
While standing straight you also indirectly train your balance if you train with a stretched out arm, either sideways or infront of you. The downsides are: tough to really get it spinning the first few times, the start string gets lost easily, almost impossible to start without the string, doesn't come with a wrist strap so when you first start working the ball be sure to have a tight grip on it or you will lose a window! You can easily get it to spin to heavy if you use it for the first couple of times, making the excercise way to tough at first, for that you need to spend some time to gain control of the ball. All in all when you get the hang of it it's fun and easy to do and it only takes 5 to 10 minutes a day to get really good results. All the gear at the local gym to get those arm muscles in shape are a waste of time and money compared to this little plastic gyroscopic ball. This trains your muscles in a fraction of the costs of a gym subscription! I love my power ball and I'll buy a new one if my old one breaks!

Powerball 250 Hz Regular - Blue Feature

• Perfect for golfers, musicians, squash, tennis, fencing, basketball, badminton, archery, cricket etc
• Use for rehabilitation and relief from carpal tunnel syndrome and RSI.
• 250Hz Powerballs are the still the fastest models in the range
• The 250Hz Powerball comes without a digital speedmeter/counter, but it can be added later if required
• Not suitable for Children Under 14yrs

Powerball 250 Hz Regular - Blue Overview

The ball comes alive with forces, furiously thrashing and jerking as your arm and wrist try to keep it in control, spinning it faster and faster until you have it up to almost 15,000rpm and it's exerting about 40lbs of pressure on your limbs at a speed of 250 revolutions per second - no batteries, just pure gyroscopic power - the fastest human propelled device ever created! This is a great Product for all types of martial arts especially Judo where hands on grip is required!!!

Can really notice the power - Jennifer Marie Leighfield - Malaga, Spain
Just got this recently for everyone in my family to use.
It's a little difficult to get it to rotate properly at first, but once you get it right, it's great and you can really feel the resistance.
The one thing I would complain about is that I find it a bit big, and I would think a lot of women will, to comfortably hold when the rotor really gets going.
Apart from that, great!






Powerball 250Hz Regular - Gary007 -
It's getting bored to just winding up the ball with the thread again and again and again and again...just to make it keep going. So do you understand the frustration now?



Best for RSI - Deniz -
I have been suffering from RSI for over two years and it has been increasingly more painful in recent times. I was being kept awake at night with the aching and burning in my hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders...that is until I got the Powerball. After just 5-10minutes of exercise a day, I have seen a hugely significant improvement in my symptoms. My wrists have gone from struggling to hold a cup of coffee to being strong again. Anyone who is suffering from RSI should not hesitate in using this product. I have purchased one for the office and one for home and it is worth every penny. I should stress however that the most significant improvement has been in my wrists, elbows and shoulders as opposed to fingers. While it is not a 100% cure, those with RSI will know that any respite as significant as this will be welcome.

GyroTwister Classic orange/yellow with software-revolution-counter Overview

The GyroTwister Xbeam is the training device that's addictive - in a positive sense: The latest tests from Germany show that training with the GyroTwister significantly improves your grip.It also trains your lower arms, upper arms and wrists in a fun and effective way. GyroTwister doesn´t operate using weights and springs like other types of training equipment, but by using the principle of gyro power. As a result, the power of GyroTwister is variable and always can be adjusted to the training condition of the user. The gyro energy generated amounts to around 10,000 rotations per minute, around 15 kilos or 33 pounds! No batteries - pure muscle power!How does the GyroTwister work?Imagine you´re holding a glass of ice cubes in your palm and you shake the ice around the inside wall of your glass. The GyroTwister works without batteries! You power it up using pure muscle power. Inside the device, you´ll find a 200 gram rotor - the heart of the GyroTwister. Once it´s set into motion, a rotation impulse starts up around the axis. Bike riders are familiar with this kind of impulse. If you get on a bike that´s not moving, you´ll fall over. But the faster you ride, the more stabile the bike becomes. To steer, more power has to be used as speeds increase. The principle of precession is probably familiar to those who´ve tried to roll a bicycle or car tire down the street. At first the tire rolls straight and upright, then it turns to the left or right and then straight again, only to beginning turning all over again.

Power Breathe Sports Performance Plus

Power Breathe Sports Performance Plus Review

The POWERbreathe plus devices come in a range of resistances and it can be difficult to gauge which one is right for you. I did some research on the Powerbreathe web site and found out that there are essentially three products in the PowerBreathe Plus range. The one with the lowest resistance is the green `Wellness' product. Medium resistance is obtained from the blue `Fitness' model and the maximum resistance is from the red `Sports' device.

I'm a runner and have previously struggled to understand what it is that prevents me from improving on my race times. I plumped for the red POWERBreathe Sports model to help with my lung capacity.

The product is well made and professionally packaged. It comes with complete instructions, a CD, a black carry bag, a nose clip and a small sample of sterilising tablets. I think that I've probably made the correct decision by selecting the red Sports model. Set at the lowest resistance it is already works the muscles of the diaphragm without being excessively difficult and with plenty of scope for adjusting it to a much greater resistance.

After three weeks of use I've made it to about a third of the way up the resistance range, so plenty to go at yet. I can really feel the difference and the improvement in my breathing capacity. I can also measure the day-on-day improvement as I move up the resistance scale.

The POWERBreathe is really easy to keep clean; it can be washed and rinsed easily and quickly. It comes apart and is re-assembled easily. You could also buy any baby sterilising tablets to keep it clean in the long term.

On higher resistance settings it is hard work, like other reviewers my ears can pop, but I suspect that this simply means that the resistance is too high and this seems to stop if I move it down a little.

So, has it improved my race times? Well no, not so you'd notice. Breathing does seem to be easier and I do note some improvement with breathing efficiency, but this doesn't translate into better race times. I have however noticed an improvement in my swimming; I can really get that air into the lungs much quicker than I could.

So in conclusion. The POWERBreathe is well made and does exactly what it says it does. It takes very little time (<5 minutes per day) to complete the exercise, is easily cleaned and you really will feel the difference. The claims for it improving sports performance are less easily substantiated and the jury remains out on whether this was a wise buy.

deep breath - M. Pulham - Derby

fantastic - L. M. Mrs Flanagan - UK

Breathless - lizzieangel -
I chose the red version. As an averagely fit amature I am still close to the bottom of the adjustment scale, so now wonder if the next model down might have been more appropriate. The device is well made and the DVD has a useful instruction section. The rest of the DVD is a bit tedious though. A bit pricey for what it it, but I guess you are paying for the design, which is novel.
