Powerball

Its definately sorted a long term wrist injury for me and it was no kind of cramp thank you very much I use it regular and the injury does not flair up anymore. Whne I dont use it for any perlonged period it does flare back up

So is everyone still using their powerballs?

oh yes - regular user - rubber strip has come off, but still using it!

yup, still use mine - not so often, but still give it a whirl every now & again

Turn the jar upside down, holding it in 1 hand, & slap it hard on the bottom of the jar with the other hand, then try opening it.

I've been thinking of getting 1 of these Powerballs, specifically the Signature Edition, as it comes with a wrist strap & 3 pull cords. What I'm wondering though is do you still get the lifetime guarantee if you get it from Play.com instead of direct from the manufacturer?

im still using mine as part of my training. I do my skipping then my weights then blitz my forearms with the powerball I bought mine from play a good while ago now and its still working fine

No ... but I know where it is, and this thread is inspiring me to give it another whirl!

I'm thinking of getting one as it may sort out my chicken wings on my upper arms.Is it likely to help?

Only if you involve your entire arm in spinning the ball.
There are better ways of getting rid of 'bingo wings' than using a powerball (which is really for forearm development)
--google for "tricep excersises"

tin of beans ... Lift and hold your elbow so its pointing directly up (with arm bent) holding a tin of beans raise and lower your lower arm keeping your elbow pointing up for the duration.
