Prohands Professional Hand Exerciser for Finger Exercisers (Grip Strengthening), Spring Loaded Finger Piston System, Isolates and Exercises Every Finger

I bought the 'Heavy' version of this several months ago. I've mastered that so I'm now stepping up to the next level. I extolled the virtues of this gadget in a previous review and my view hasn't changed; you can do a surprising number of exercises if you check the Pro Hands website for more exercises than those in the leaflet that comes with the hand exerciser. It's easy to use and can be carried around and used in any location. It increases strength in the fingers, hand, wrist and arm easily and steadily for any number of situations where you need to increase strength. In summary, a low-priced, sturdy and well made piece of equipment. You will love it.

Just want to advise people about purchasing this product. First off all a fantastic purchase, the product is amazing I am a beginner 2nd month bouldering. I decided to buy straight away this X-Heavy excerciser. Do not do the same if You are a beginner I am still not able to do all excercises and I had some little pain in my left thumb from over-training (was too excited). So I also ordered now the medium(red) as well as the Heavy one(black). I will use the red one for warm ups and when I get injured and give it to my wife to start with as well. I will use the heavy one for exercises I can not do yet with the extra heavy one yet and when I get better I will use the X-Heavy. Over-all I am very happy with the purchase I can see after 2 weeks of usage great improvements in my finger-strenght. Highly recommend to everyone who wants to do some sport needing a strong grip. Use the website pro hands(dot)net for more exercises they are great and do not start with the extra heavy version as I did.

I think all this type of exorciser are good. I've had a medium for years and ended up not using it for some time through a cancer treatment period. Started again with it but as before it was'nt strong enough and I wished I had a stronger one. Obviously with the internet you can get anything so I have now got the stronger one. Previous was from a shop some where a long time ago. Before deciding on this one I read a lot of reveiws with some saying it slips when sweating, not strong enough etc. etc. Yes your hand can get slippy but wipe and carry on. When you build up to squeesing it together and think Oh! I can do this easy and think I want a stonger one still,start and squeese it and seem how long you can hold it. Thats the next test, not continual squeesing.I sit nd watch TV at night and its in my hands all he time. From one hand to the other just practically from habit now. I don' need anything stronger I'm not body building or anything just keeping fit at 68 and I find this excellent for the fingers hands ec. Roy

I got one of these to strengthen my fingers for climbing after discovering the red medium strength one was not enough. The best thing about these exercisers is that they are almost silent and easy to use when you are doing something else like watching TV. The result is you can easily fit in a half hour or so of finger exercise into your normal day. Alternatives like the Powerball demand full concentration so they don't get used as much. As a climbing newbie after three weeks of using this my fingers are much stronger and I'm using holds I'd have slipped off. However, the benefits are already limiting out, the exerciser is feeling quite easy but my fingers are still nowhere near strong enough for the higher graded climbs. So this is more of a stepping stone from no finger strength to enough strength to use rockrings or fingerboards rather than a complete solution. It may also be useful as a warm-up exercise.

For the price tag, this product is excellent. Forearms are so underworked by many gym-goers, and this will help you develop a vice like grip. Durable, discrete, and brilliant. I would definitely recommend the X-Heavy tension (11lb pressure) as you will soon work your way out of the less resistant ones, whereas this will keep you struggling for a long time, putting your muscles under the most pressure and forcing the best results. Also an excellent warm up tool for rock-climbers/bowlers, and fits nicely in the palm of your hand when in use, allowing for a comfortable workout.

I've been using the Pro Hands X-Heavy Tension hand exerciser for two weeks now. The product stands up to heavy use, and is built very well for something so cheap. The obvious benefit of the Pro Hands, as opposed to more traditional handgrippers, is that you can exercise each finger individually. This is really useful, as I have gained strength in my ring finger and little finger by using the product. However, I've found the 11lb resistance is not nearly heavy enough for my other fingers/thumb, and so it's almost useless for whole hand exercises - you would be able to perform 100+ reps without much effort! Overall, this is a nice idea, but doesn't have enough resistance for anything other than your ring/little fingers. This is very useful for helping build up your overall grip, but it needs to be used in conjunction with a traditional handgripper for the best results.

For isolated finger training, strength and maintenance these are great. Been using for a couple of weeks and can already feel a difference when climbing, and typing too!

I use this all the time at work. Whenever i feel stressed i pull this out and do 30 reps on each hand and repeat 3-4 times. I will probably use this 4 times a day, so if like me you have a very stressful job, forget the stress balls and the smoking, use this. Its great as it helps work all your fingers compared to the conventional hand grips. it is amazing to see how little strength you have in your last two fingers. Very good product, very light and very effective.

Why yes, I have been working out! Thanks for noticing! My grip strength is so strong I’ve made grown men cry by handshake and I can do pull ups with my middle finger. Most of the above is a lie, but this grip strengthener is pretty great! There are a few different exercises you can do with this vs a traditional grip strengthener and can focus more on one or two digits. Tension is pretty high and after 30 or 40 reps of an exercise it will start to burn. I keep it in my car for rush hour traffic.

スポーツ目的ではなく、楽器を弾くのに指の力をつけたかったため購入しました。 私はもともと特に握力が強い方ではないですが、すぐに押さえられるようになりました。 押さえる負荷をしっかり感じられるバネの強さが気持ちよく、鍛えるモチベーションを維持してくれます。 作りもしっかりしていて握り心地も良いです。 標準的な手の大きさの男性なら、サイズや固さ的にこれがちょうどいいのではないでしょうか。

Es muy buen producto, alta calidad y buena resistencia, pero recomiendo que compren de baja tensió ya que el de 11 LB es relativamente duro y no es posible hacer todos los ejercicios

Bilan après 1 an d'utilisation à raison de 3 séances d'une heure par semaine, je peux vous dire que les résultats sont au rendez-vous. L'avantage de cet appareil est qu'il permet de cibler les muscles commandent les mouvements des doigts et de la main. La résistance de 5 Kg semble faible sur le papier mais croyez moi, après 50 répétitions, il vous faudra forcer. Et pas qu'un peu. On à rien sans rien, mais si vous faites les efforts nécessaires, les premiers progrès sont étonnement rapides. Alors que je peinais à arriver à 60 répétitions, après "seulement" 4 mois d'utilisation, je suis arrivé à 100. Malgré les croyances populaires, les séries longues ne sont pas moins efficaces que les séries courtes pour "construire" du muscle (infos glanée sur des sites de musculations). Cet appareil est un très bon complément pour tout sport nécessitant de gros efforts de la part des avants-bras et des mains. Après 1 an d’utilisation, l'augmentation de volume, d’endurance et de force musculaire sont nettement visibles. L'autre avantage avec cet appareil, est la possibilité d'isoler et de travailler le muscle du pouce de manière extrêmement efficace. Le gain à ce niveau est un triplement de volume (et de force) . Peu encombrant, facilement transportable et pouvant être utilisé assis dans son canapé en regardant la TV tout en travaillant de manière efficace permet de rester motivé. Matériel solide et de grande qualité, j'en suis totalement satisfait... ou presque... Car il y'a tout de même un défaut un peu gênant bien qu'il puisse être contourné. C'est la douleur. Pas la douleur des muscles qui travaillent, mais celle du muscle du pouce qui se fait écrasé à chaque mouvement. Des douleurs vives au début, apparues après 3 semaines d'utilisation, me forçant à interrompre l'entrainement durant 7 jours. De temps en temps, la douleur revient pendant les séances mais il y'a certains trucs pour la modérer : 1 / le port de gants de musculation rembourrés (comme ceux vendus chez go sport) 2 / essayer de tenir l'appareil plus haut (vers le milieu de la main) afin de libérer le pouce. Au bout de quelques semaines, ces douleurs ont complètement disparues et aujourd’hui un an plus tard, je continue le travail sans le moindre problème commençant même a m'exercer avec le modèle au dessus (XX heavy tension). Ce que je peux vous promettre, c'est que les résultats sont la et qu'ils sont bien visibles.

Vanno bene sia per allenare, sia come antistress. Il prodotto è più robusto e affidabile di quanto pensavo, oltre che perfettamente ergonomico e funzionante.
