This
unique piece of equipment
is designed to build forearm
and wrist strength in all
angles and patterns of movement.
Is it effective? Can it improve
your training and performance?
Improving wrist and forearm
strength can have a tremendous
impact on both your weight
training and your sports performance,
e.g. your golf swing. Regular
forearm training, however,
can limit you to just a few
movement patterns.
A
new product called the AllAround
Wrist Roller addresses this
limitation by allowing you
to work not only wrist flexion
and extension but also rotation,
a movement that is extremely
hard to work with regular
training methods.
The
question is, "does the
AllAround Wrist Roller effectively
build strength in these movement
patterns?" After all,
it's one thing to exercise
those patterns, but it's another
to actually do it effectively.
The
design of the AllAround Wrist
Roller is deceptively simple:
it's two plastic balls mounted
on the ends of a two-piece
bar. This middle bar has a
resistance screw that you
can tighten or loosen, depending
on how much resistance you
want for the exercise. It's
this simple design that allows
you to work a large variety
of wrist and forearm patterns
of movement.
You
can visualize the construction
of the AllAround Wrist Roller
with this diagram (the "O"'s
are the plastic ends and dashes
are the middle bars):

By
gripping the padded center
bars and twisting like you're
wringing a towel, you can
work the flexion and extension
functions of the forearms.
When
you grip the outsides of the
plastic balls and twist, you're
working lateral flexion and
extension of the wrists (you
can try this movement if you
turn your hands so that your
thumbs are pointing up then
pretend that you're unscrewing
something).
Because
the ends of the roller are
round, you can vary how the
exercise works by where you
place your hands and how you
orient the roller as you use
it.
But
the main question we need
to answer is "does this
machine effectively work the
wrists and forearms?"
The
answer is "yes."
The AllAround Wrist Roller
is extremely effective for
building wrist and forearm
strength. Regular use of this
equipment can not only greatly
enhance your weight training
by allowing you to grip heavier
weights for longer periods
of time, it also has the potential
to greatly increase your sports
performance. Increased forearm
and wrist strength has the
potential to increase golf
drive distance, throwing power
and batting power!
I've
found the unique and innovative
design of the All Around Wrist
Roller to very effectively
work not only the rotational
aspect of the forearms, but
also the wrists, which are
very difficult to hit with
regular forearm training.
It's this rotational training
that really makes the difference
in sports performance and
has the potential to take
your forearm development to
a much higher level.
