| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Very nice, grips could be softer though So far I really love this. I'm a really small guy and started it out on the hardest level and I do reps of about 50 on each arm. My wife isn't able to do a single one on the hardest level.. so it's definitely good starter piece.
The only reason I didn't give this a 5 out of 5 is because I've already got some sores on the palms of my hand. The grips are rather hard.. I imagine it won't be a problem too long, but it's an initial discomfort. I don't exactly have soft hands, I've done quite a bit of work with electronics, land scaping, moving, and carpentry. I also make chain mail from thick wire (winding it around an iron pole, cutting each link, etc. lots of forearm work there). Making the chainmail makes my hands very tough, so having this device do this to my hands so soon has been a little disconcerting. Just man up and it'll go away eventually.
The spacers are nice too-- they enable you to control the spacing of the handle, which can make it easier or harder by controlling how open your hand is and how much work is required to get a full squeeze in. 2 spacers = short spacing, no spacers = hand is almost completely open.
I'd definitely recommend this to others. + See Full Customer Review |  |
