Meat Loaf Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 You'll be sick of it in a week. I won't say I told you so. Yes I will. I hated the thing. I didn't see how it would make my grip any more manlier, but knock yourself out, man! MEAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEAT ← i dunno meat....i was using it with a pinch type grip instead of holding it like a baseball...and it got hard to hold onto...must be doing something since i had to squeeze really hard to hold it.

speedy Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Meat, Did you have trouble starting it? I do at times; find the string to be more of a hassle than doing it with my thumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt76 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 I could never start the damn thing with my thumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Don't feel bad, it took me about a hour to do it. Now I can do it after 5 or less tries after that. I figure the thing will eventually be broken in or I will build some sort of skill starting it. This huge dude at the fitness shop that showed me it said it took him an hour to get it started; that is with and w/out string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Okay it's been a few days now, and I can see Meat's point that it gets old. BUT the fact is that it burns, tuff to hold, and it bulks your forearms. I just watch T.V. while doing it so it does not get old. Meat I suggest giving it another go.

HAMMERXT Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 A power ball is a great warm up tool. this came out in the mid. 80's. it was used for mostly golfers and rehab. i have had mine for about 6 years, still have the first one which is light grey with a white ball. the new ones are a lot smoother. if you use the power ball with pinching or gripping. going back and forth, will give you a good workout!

speedy Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Did it really come out in the mid 80's? The reason I ask is when I went to buy my stationary bike at this fitness store that also sells IM CoC's, they had the Powerball, and he was talking like it just came out; the was between a year to two years ago.

micrent Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 i think that powerballs have only been around for a few years, but the gyro balls came out earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
