IronMind Twist Yo' Wrist for MMA, Tennis, Golf, Pickleball, Hockey Strength

Excellent. Exactly what I expected. I expected to be able to handle more weight, but ten pounds was actually enough to get in a basic workout. This works your hands in ways that nothing else will. the rope seems very durable, but its replaceable if it breaks. I imagine paracord would work alright. You have to hold your elbows in real tight to get the perfect side to side motion. If you do the same exercise with wrist bent at 90, you are working a whole new set of muscles. Between COC grippers and this and the standard forearm twister, I am confident my hands will get stronger. The plastic has a cheese smell which is weird, but functionally it seems fine and durable. It is made of plastic but it is heavy and feels solid. The outer rim is scored nicely to dig into your fingers and hand. I searched for a long time for a hammer style device that would do what this does, I found one but i had reservations about it; this seems far superior to me.

A wrist and finger killer, I love it! Awesome grip texture, strong rope, built to last and cause aches for years.

I thought it was Knurled Metal similar to a Barbell or Dumbbell but, I was surprisingly satisfied when it was a plastic material, Metal in that shape and size would be a chunk to hold by itself, would pose a grip challenge in itself and detriment the exercise it is purpose built for. Absolutely awesome product because it trains a part that I was widely leaving out because there wasn't a good way to train it otherwise.

I have been working on a lot of grip strength lately and I am always looking for new ways to work my hands, wrists and forearms. This product adds an interesting dimension to grip training, that I haven't been able to duplicate with other exercises. I am sure that I could have attempted to make a homemade PVC version of the product and would have saved a few bucks, but I am glad I didn't. The product is made just right and does not slip out of my hands. There is no need to use a lot of weight. I find that using 10-15 lbs. and keeping my elbows tight to my body, gets the job done. Good stuff.

A must have..a bit pricey but worth it. Will replace other equipment. It’s pretty simple technology BUT effective. Something I will be using for a long time

Edited 10/10/2023 Originally I rated it one star because I believed it had hurt my ligaments. However it turns out that I actually had nerve issues elsewhere. That being said I've been using this product with a weight stack and it has been a serious game changer. Start slow and light and work your way up. Highly recommend.

Product is plastic. Has good texture to actually work out with. Functions well. With use on cable machine or free weight, no slip out hand feeling. The diamond print is holding right in fingers and hand for exercise use.

Well it is exactly as described and for that I give it 3 stars. I was disappointed to receive a $62 piece of plastic and for that I gave it 3 stars as well.

This is an excellent tool for strengthening wrists and improving range of motion Unlike straight wrist exercisers this tool works at a better exercise angle

Der Ironmind-Unterarmtrainer ist zwar aus Kunststoff gefertigt (und nicht aus Metal, was ich zunächst angenommen hatte), aber dennoch sehr massiv, robust und unkaputtbar. Er ist eine sehr gute Ergänzung zu einem handelsüblichen Gripper und zu einem Unterarmtrainer, wie man ihn normalerweise kennt, bei dem man ein mit einem Gegengewicht beschwertes Seil oder ein Gurtband auf ein Rohr aufrollt und abrollt. Durch die etwas andere Handstellung und den großen Durchmesser der Griffstücke von satten 10 cm werden die Unterarme und die Fingermuskeln anders belastet als bei dem erst genannten Unterarmtrainer. Hier werden in etwa die Muskeln gekräftigt, die man benötigt, um den Deckel von einem großen Glasbehälter abzuschrauben, also Muskeln, die man sonst nur schwer isoliert trainieren kann. Dadurch, dass man auch "in den Griff hinein" fassen kann, lässt sich auch die Daumenschließkraft trainieren. Die Trainingswirkung ist vergleichbar mit dem "Sidewinder Grip Twister", der zur Zeit nirgends erhältlich ist (und auch das dreifache kostet) - aber der Twist Yo` hat gegenüber dem Sidewinder den Vorteil, dass sowohl die exzentrische wie auch die konzentrische Phase trainierbar ist. Die Riffelung ist massiv und rutschfest, so dass auch schwerere Gewichte angehängt werden können. Das Seil und der Karabiner und überhaupt die gesamte Konstruktion ist ohnehin sehr schwer belastbar. Das Teil wird ein Leben lang gute Dienste leisten. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

A great accompaniment to wrist roller work, targets the fingers and forearm in a ‘different’ way (ie you’ll be surprised at how little weight can bring the deepest burn!)

Very good forearm and wrist strength builder. Compact. I keep it on my desk at work and do a few sets throughout the day. Go light 2.5kg plate at start and build up strength and endurance gradually. Its harder than you think.
