don't think any of this sort of thing is "training" really, just maintenance. The sort of thing you'll get given to do when you do break yerself. prevention's better than cure innit.

The metolious thing gives you an interesting exercise - as you get a pump (minor) from squeezing the ball - then you can really feel the stretch back out on the outside of the arm..

Jesus fucking christ, you lot!
Stop thinking about this, get on a fucking fingerboard for a few years, develop some heavy imbalances from having too strong flexors, then come back on this thread!

I am a grumpy bastard. It's raining in the Dolomites and I am facing yet another weekend of board climbing and weights. Sorry.

I don't understand why you're grumpy then? ;-)

I'm starting to think we need a ukb room 101 for things like this and gill&gill.

I think its a decent training / warm up / warm down idea - just not at £20.....

Had a look at the power fingers site, bit strange!

I'd have thought they'd shift more of these selling them individually?

1 for £4/5 rather than a set of 5 for £20, why do you need a set of 5?!
Who has 5 therabads?  :shrug:

Yup - and if you had two or three you could double up or get different combo's for different strengths etc...
