Squeezus Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Last night was my second session in this program cycle working with the Wrist Wrench. I decided to have a little fun and see where I was at. I am pleased with how even my hands are. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really train thickbar a lot, but I did a 8 week cycle with wrist wrench once a week and it seemed to help that implement a good bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I have never seen or used a wrist wrench - what makes it so difficult?, and what size is the handle? Please let me know, Laine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i say it pulls, i mean it pulls. The device is brutal. Over 100 is no doubt elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeezus Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) @LAINE SNOOK The Wrist Wrench handle is about 60mm. Because of the physics of having the strap that wraps around the opposite side of your fingers, the torque generated by the hanging weights is twice as much. So if you can pull 200lbs on the rolling thunder, you can pull approximately 100lbs on the Wrist Wrench. Of course Rolling Thunders vary pretty widely, so the relationship is very approximate. Here's a sketch to show you what I'm talking about.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7wW75KlOY4gNFRIWmQ0YUc3ZkE Edited March 7, 2017 by Squeezus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a good idea if I got hold of one. Thank you. Laine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeezus Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 @LAINE SNOOK There are a few companies that sell them, but the original Wrist Wrench (https://www.facebook.com/wristwrench/) is what most people in the US use. This is the version I have and I like it. Probably the cheapest option for you, in terms of shipping, would be the Silarukov version (http://mrstronghands.com/silarukov_strap_handle_60mm). There are also a few people on the board, @Lucasraymond comes to mind, that can make custom versions for you. I could make one as well.

Hi, I spoke to the guy about a wrist wrench, he doesn't do them anymore - is there any chance you could locate one for me, I would like an American one even if it's used. Please let me know.

Allen Heineck Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hi Gil, I'd rather not take business from you so this offer is directed your way. I have a slightly used original wrist wrench if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty curious what kind of insane numbers he can pull on it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know, Laine The concept is almost like IronMind Holle-it-up dumbbell. You can use your thumbs or wrist power to stop the rotation. Squeezus gave a good sketch. Yes the original maker don't have one. If you didn't find it I can send you one for as long as you want and you can return it anytime you want.
