Gripmaster Pro Edition

I have been doing a little rock climbing so have a fairly strong grip from participating over the past 15 months but felt as though I needed something to bring on the finger strength - I found it!The springs are quite tough on the black version but most climbers should be fine with this level of tension. Having recently injured my hand in a climbing gym, I have now decided to purchase the "red medium" pro hands gadget for rehabilitation. I also think the 7lb red version would be better for warming up my fingers before climbing, as the 9lb is just a tad too tough for warm ups. Coupled with regular use of the powerball, and ensuring rest days in between, I find this is an excellent way to improve grip and finger strength.

Was dubious about how effective this was going to be. The grip is moderately ergonomic but could be better. However as far as strengthening my hand goes it is superb, far more effective than the single spring type exerciser, has added power really rapidly without too much strain or effort. After about a month I am now looking to move up to the next level of exerciser, also very effective on the forearms.

I've worked up through the models to this one. The Ergonomic Palm pad's better than on the standard gripmaster for whole hand exercises but thumb exercises are not as easy because of the shape of the pad.I thought the rubber bits would be grippier than the knurled plastic on non-pro models -not the case sadly.Also, it's bulkier so for big hands probably better but fits in pocket less well.All in all I wish I got the standard gripmaster heavy.Saying all that I've just ordered the X-Heavy Pro but if was available in standard would've got it

Very versatile and well constructed, good price too. There are details of exercises included with the Exerciser and even more on the website. In fact, I was surprised at how many different exercises one could do with this and how versatile it is in exercising so many different parts of the hand, wrist and arms. I shall soon be buying the next level of exerciser because I have increased my ability and strength so quickly and I would recommend considering buying a higher strength one than you think would be right for you.

Really useful piece of equipment and I have noticed a difference in strength. A good feature about it is that it is easy to take anywhere in your pocket

My only gripe is that it doesn't give as much resistance as I thought it would.Now either I have the grip of King Kong or the springs could do with being stronger.Otherwise, it's well made & comfortable to use, although I tend to get bored before my hand starts to ache ;-)

I would have thought that for an extra £5 this version would be more comfortable than the cheaper version, however I find that the reason I stop is the discomfort in my fingers rather than fatigue.Other than that the exercises that can be found on the company's website are interesting and helpful, because of this range of exercises one type of grip is either too difficult for some or too easy. The product itself is of good quality and feels like it will last.Overall I am a little disappointed with the discomfort, but I think I will continue this product and get used to it after a while.

This product line looks great, and for some people it may well be exactly what they need. I am looking to increase my general arm/forearm/hand strength, so while I would not solely rely on these for all of that, they were to help with the hand grip and forearm strengthening. The problem I have with them is that the pads for each finger are too close together. I have fairly large hands but find these just need me to cram my fingers very close together in order for each finger to be correctly positioned on the corresponding pad. Therefore I could not use this product exactly in it's intended way. Also, I feel that the black rubber pads for the fingers are too hard. It just feels like regular hard plastic when you are using it, and is therefore uncomfortable to use for more than 30 seconds at a time. Another point extended the previous one is that because I am unable to use it for a long period of time without it hurting my fingers, it feels almost identical to the 7lb version I also purchased. You need to have extensive sessions with these exercisers in order for them to be beneficial, but because of the hard pads I sadly cannot.Overall, I would avoid these if you don't have really tough fingers, and have large hands. Or maybe I just have weirdly shaped hands and weak fingers.EDIT: Forearm, not forehead!

Uso o produto diariamente, mas ele veio um abaixo do que solicitei, na cor cinza e veio na cor preta.Meu pedido foi para o prohands mais forte que é na cor cinza e veio o produto na cor preta que é um abaixo do mais forte.Como é um produto caro vou esperar um pouco e fazer nova tentativa para adquirir o produto que realmente preciso e quero.

Después de lastimarme un ligamento del codo y no recuperarme por meses, decidí comprar este aparatito para empezar con el movimiento de los músculos del antebrazo... fue una excelente decisión. Son un poco ruidosos con el tiempo, pero de excelente calidad.

Truly the best exercise/device I have ever used to hands or forearms.*Now keep in mind it was quick for me to figure out that using this as a single finger at a time device both feels terrible and um doesn't work at all for ring and pinky fingers; however when using it properly as a FULL HAND GRIP machine its amazing!I can't speak to those who have had theirs break, since I bought my heavy tension (black) I have probably cranked out a couple of hundred reps a day while watching TV, walking on a tread mill, or even while driving because why not let that anger at a stop light go to work for you lol.Do Note though my experience has seen a sharp increase in the squeakiness and overall loudness of the device, which I haven't tried to "fix" with WD40 yet and don;t thin I will try. Also I experienced the perception of a loss of tension after heavy use, but I now believe that is more likely due to actual increased grip strength, crazy right?And no I don't think I am an amazing he-man of a man, I have honestly never had success in many other grip devices over the years, honestly before I got this I didn't believe any of them worked, but man do these do wonders.I in fact don't have particularly large hands, especially for being 6'2", nor would I have ever said I have strong hands, I have thinner fingers, not sausages which yes are easy to make fun of, but usually are full of power, whereas my hands have been full of bone and very little else...However, I am definitely seeing the difference in noticeable protruding veins on the tops of my hand and under my hands into my palms as well as throughout my forearms, something that was never a thing for me (save my high school days when I lifted weights every day), to the everyday experience of literally having stronger hands when doing day to day errands/projects. Not to mention my hands look meatier and holy crap do they feel less "flappy and soft" and are undoubtedly harder and firmer, like seriously I even clap louder its ridiculous.Look I hate when people act like something is a miracle device or say its going to change your life, but for me this dumb little machine is by far the best piece of fitness equipment I have ever spent money on or used especially in terms of not only bang for the buck, but in actually doing what it says it will do and actually doing it quickly. Best of all it can be done while sitting on your butt, for real I have paused while writing this review a number of times and probably cranked out like 3 or 4 sets of 40-50 for each hand.Speaking of sets, I first was only able to do 20 at a time per hand, but within a week it was 30 at a time and another two weeks later I can do 50 with only a little "burn" of fatigue at the end that I can easily push through, and is already better once the other hand is finished.I recommend keeping your arm straight when going through a set, either at your side, or my preferred position is raising the arm that is working straight in front of me, like you just threw a punch and while keeping the back of your hand facing the ceiling raise your whole arm 45 degrees and doing your reps right there, for me I can feel more of my forearm muscles engaging and I can add a little power by squeezing my biceps and triceps as I squeeze and let go of my grip.That's what works for me, but above all else keep trying different positions, both in changing arm positions face your palm up or down, there are an insane amount of flexor and extensor muscles in your arms,and to think what works for me will work for you, and vice versa, is silly, as you grip you will feel what is working best and just go ahead and run with it.I for one will own one (or more) of these for as long as I live or until arthritis renders my hand useless!

L'appareil Pro Hands est très bien fini. Il est facile a prendre en main.Le heavy tension, en noir, est un peu dur. Mais en faisant les premières semaines d'exercice a l'aise il n'y a pas d'inconvénients..

Ho acquistato questo prodotto sgranchire un po' la mano soprattuto dopo lunghe sessioni al pc e quindi utilizzo del mouse. Spesso avevo dolore al polso e devo dire che utilizzando questo esercitatore, oltre ad aumentare la forza della stretta, avevo un netto miglioramento del dolore al polso. Ci sono varie gradazioni di durezza, probabilmente ho esagerato nel scegliere "l'hard" per allenamenti occasionali, in quanto con le dita più cìdeboli come il mignolo si fatica motlo a portare la molla alla fine della corsa. In ogni caso le gradiazioni sono tante e per tutti i tipi di sport e allenamento. E' tutto consultabile sul sito dove verrete indirizzati al meglio verso la vostra scelta con tanto di esercizi mirati per ogni attività (arrampicata, tennis, lotta libera, strumenti musicali ecc.). La qualità di costruzione sembra molto buona. Vivamente consigliato
