GRIPMASTER

This is a big help with my recovery. My therapist recommended.

This little device is a great way to strengthen your grip. I keep mine next to my recliner. While I'm watching TV or reading, I just squeeze it, alternating between right and left handI have noticed my grip getting stronger. For instance, I can open jars and bottles now that I couldn't open before.As we age, we lose muscle strength. So get one of these and start squeezing!

I got this because I am learning to play guitar and wanted to have something that would allow me to work my fingers individually as well as easily change grips and positions. The individual finger tension is a great way to work out the 'pinkie' which is typically neglected and a pain for stretching to certain chords. For me, this is a much better option than the usual grip strength springs that are out there. I don't have a problem closing my hand, I need individual finger strength. This exerciser allows both. It also has the benefit of allowing you to easily isolate and work your wrist if you want. On a 2 handle spring exerciser, that would be difficult or impossible.The exerciser comes with some exercise examples and you can get more information and exercise examples from their web site. Gripmaster offers several different levels of tension and these are pretty inexpensive, so you can start with light or extra light and work your way up as needed. Medium tension seems to be pretty standard and what you would want if you are an average adult male. I have tried the other lower tension levels and they are a little too easy. I assume they might be useful if you are going for # of reps vs. building strength. I am not an exercise junkie and have no idea if something like that actually matters for fingers.I have purchased other versions of this with lighter tension for female friends of mine and one person going through some physical rehabilitation. They all say they like the exerciser. The heaviest tension seems to be a bit of overkill and I have a harder time pressing that down completely. I suppose if I ever felt the need for a 'power pinkie' (skadoosh!), I could try to work up to that one. This version seems to be working for me as my finger strength does seem to be getting better and the effort needed for me to hammer notes or chords appears to be less. I notice that I am using this less since I am doing better on the guitar at least with getting my fingers down. Really playing is another story. I suspect that soon this will start to collect dust from disuse. However, it was relatively inexpensive and it has been very useful. If I ever want or need it again, I'll have it.

Great investment. Has improved my guitar fingering exponentially. I bought the 7lb grip master and it seems well built and definitely worth the investment.

This was recommended by my hand therapist to help me regain some hand function lost due to radial nerve damage.

Great for a fidget/exercise tool at your desk or while idly watching tv. Made well and has even spring pressure. Perfect for normal size hands.

This can be used for a number of exercises, and either left or right hand. I’ve had and used it for 10 years, and it has held up well.Recommend!

An excellent hand exerciser’ which you can easily use and carry around in your pocket.

Bought this cause I had two problems.- My pinkies were really weak and often got locked in a hyperextended position due to breaking them when I was younger.- My grip strength for deadlifts was really weak, even for an overhand claw grip.SInce this lets you exercise each finger individually I am able to focus on strengthening my poor pinkies. I just leave it near my laptop on my desk and squeeze out a few sets 3 times a week.So far the results have been great. my deadlift strength is much better and no more annoying locked up pinkies.Will be moving to the next tension level soon.

握力50kg越えている大人でも、指先の力は思いの外弱かった。簡単に何処でも 無理なく鍛練出来るアイテムで、いつも持ち歩いています。

Utilizzato per attività di arrampicata sportiva e tiro a lunga distanza.Non fa miracoli ma comunque se utilizzato nella maniera corretta tiene un po' di allenamento anche quando si sta in una pausa o impossibilitato a fare altri esercizi essendo tascabile.Da vedere molti video sul web con vari esercizi.

Best thing I bought. Would recommend.

Très bon article que je recommande. Mon mari s’en sert pour la rééducation de sa main droite, suite à une opération du canal carpien assez sérieuse. Cela lui permet de compléter avec ses séances de kiné qui a le même article.
