Pro Xtreme #3 Hand, Wrist, Forearm Exerciser, Grip Strength Exerciser

This device takes up where Captains of Crush leaves off and the two together will give you a grip and confidence like no other. I didn’t realize what ‘Are you losing your grip?’ meant until I reached my 50’s and started to drop things more, had a tough time with jars, simple tasks etc, read:
Beginnings of arthritis and inflammation!
With the SideWinder Pro Xtreme I can work through the pain and loosen my hands quickly and even the pain I have down to my elbows goes away after a few brief turns. Take your time, start easy at the torque setting but no matter what setting always grip firm. When you use an exerciser like this make it part of your workout routine, not while watching tv, at the office desk, etc. as might be the temptation. Stand up and work it – in front of you, behind, above, over/under grips, side by side and so on. I will often use mine between sets on other strength exercises like curls – talk about accelerating the burn!

As I said, I recommend in combo with a gripper like Captains of Crush – they work well with each other. Work hard at this like any routine and after a short time you’ll be impressed with your veiny forearms!

In my opinion, get the Pro Xtreme instead of the #2 model – you will want the larger grip and I can make this so easy to turn my grandson can do it and/or my wife can use it at her own settings. No sense in buying something for slightly less when you can start at beginner with this unit.

Unit is heavy, will outlast me and the operation is totally silent.

Love this, it’s perfect for training forearms while at a desk, or watching TV. I find it works the extensors more than the flexors, but it absolutely works both, and very well. Very difficult to even move it at the highest level of resistance (which is great), so I recommend less resistance and more reps to get more of a pump. Haven’t used it long enough to get measurable results (only a few days), but I am sure that forearm gains are not long to come.

Bought this to help strengthen my wrists/hands/forearms. So far so good. I’m really enjoying it both at my desk at work and on the couch at home. It’s got a good weight too it and feels well constructed. The resistance goes from fairly easy to nearly impossible – I’m a pretty average guy. It’s especially nice to use at home. Makes watching Netflix a bit more productive. It’s a bit expensive, but I figure it’s something you buy once.

This thing is the forearm trainer to end them all. Insane build quality, perfectly smooth action and adjustment. I’m not sure how the mechanism inside is designed but the resistance is perfectly uniform throughout the movement unlike various hand trainers with crudely designed springs that are very difficult at the peak of the range of motion and easy at the bottom. I have not used this for any length of time to be able to report results but I have trained my forearms in a multitude of ways and already this provides me with a good challenge. HIGHLY recommend and worth the money for sure.

WORKS great.. use the product as directed by the manufacturer. I have read some of the reviews.. The negative reviews are hilarious.. I have used the plastic forearm machine and it breaks after three months of use.. the sidewinder is made of steel and should last a long time.. nothing last for ever.. if i need another one I will buy another one..

the sidewinder’s plastic part will last longer if you release some of the tension.. that is why you are destroying your equipment.. follow directions and please do not brag.. this is a review…

This thing is a beast and provides super smooth rotations and lots of tension! Unless your 250 lbs of solid muscle this thing will make your arms burn like a mamma jamma

Ok, this thing showed up at my house yesterday. I was so fired up about it. The thing’s built like a tank. The 2″ handles are perfect for my hand. The company even sent a suggested list of 4 exercises to do, and what set / rep scheme they recommend for noobs. Fast forward about 15 mins and it is slipping around because my hands were drawning into a claw. The form breakdown got rough, but this thing is very forgiving at that. At least at the level I’m at. To sum it up: would I buy it again? In response to that, I just ordered their OTHER wrist trainer that looks like you’re screwing the top of a jar. So “yes”, I would buy it again.
