Professional sports trainers, athletes, and therapists use GRIPMASTER because of its unique ability to provide an effective isolated resistance workout.

All athletes have a common goal to develop and maintain strength, control, endurance, coordination, and dexterity to ensure their competitive edge.

GRIPMASTER is here to help you reach and accomplish your goals.

GRIPMASTER comes in 4 different tensions.

GM3lb (3 lbs per finger)

Yellow / X-Light Tension

Recommended for children over 12 years and seniors wanting to regain diminished dexterity.

GM5lb (5 lbs per finger)

Blue / Light Tension

Recommended for the average woman’s hand and men preferring more repetitions at lesser resistance rather than fewer repetitions at higher resistance.

GM7lb (7 lbs per finger)

Red / Medium Tension

Recommend for the average man’s hand.

GM9lb (9 lbs per finger)

Black / Heavy Tension

Recommended only to those requiring exceptional grasping power for martial arts, climbing, or weapon retention. Not recommended for the average man’s hand.

WEIGHT LIFTING: Improved control under maximum pressure.
CLIMBERS: Develops & maintains hand, wrist & forearm strength and endurance.
GOLF: Strengthen weaker fingers to overcome right/left side bias. Achieve stronger wrist snap for increased distance and consistency.
TENNIS: Improved racket control & stronger wrist action for all strokes.
CRICKET: Hitters gain enhanced bat control, wrist snap & bat speed. Pitchers & position players develop a stronger grip & wrist snap for increased accuracy, velocity & ball movement.
BASKETBALL: Shoot, dribble & pass with a higher level of consistency & accuracy.

HOW IT WORKS

The wrist (1) and finger (2) flexors are the longer muscles of the forearm and wrist (extrinsic).

These muscles lie in the forearm and their tendon components cross the wrist and attach to the bones to move the fingers and wrist.

Exercise these for greater grip power and endurance.

The smaller muscles of the hand (intrinsic), lie at the base of the thumb (3), small finger (4) and across the hand (5 & 6).

They provide the finer movements, coordination, and control of the fingers and do not cross the wrist.

The GRIPMASTER works to improve strength, endurance and coordination of all the muscles within the hand and most muscles and tendons in the forearm.

EXERCISES

The exercises provided are not tailored to any one specific sport. They are designed to enhance and maintain the physical attributes and general health of the athlete's hands, regardless of sport.
GROSS GRASP
Place the middle of the fingers on the buttons with the fingertips wrapped over the top. Positioning the hook of the ergonomic palm bar over the web space between the thumb and index finger, flex the thumb and all fingers toward the center of the unit as if making a fist. Strengthens fingers, thumb, wrist and forearm for a firm grip.
HOOK POSITION
Lace fingertips on individual buttons and position ergonomic palm bar with the hook over the web space between the thumb and index finger. Keeping fingertips slightly bent, flex all fingers toward the center of the unit. Strengthens longer muscles in forearm and wrist while stretching smaller muscles in hand for greater motion and endurance.
KEY PINCH
Place the hook of the ergonomic palm bar on the inside of the bent index finger. With the tip of the thumb slightly bent, flex the thumb on the first button. Strengthens thumb and index finger for greater stability and co-ordination. (For increased resistance, flex the thumb tip on two buttons at the same time.)
TRIGGER PINCH
Loosely hold the unit vertically with the buttons toward the fingers and the hook of the ergonomic palm bar positioned over the web space between the thumb and index finger. With the middle of the index finger, press the second button as if squeezing a trigger. Isolates the index finger to enhance strength and coordination. (This can also be done using the above position and the tip of the index finger.)
TIP-TO-TIP PINCH
Lace the tip of the thumb on the center of the ergonomic palm bar. Position the finger to be exercised on one of the center buttons. Keeping both tips slightly bent, flex the thumb and the finger being exercised toward the center of the unit at the same time. Strengthens specific fingers, thumb, smaller hand muscles and forearm for greater control and endurance. Can be done with one or more fingers.
WRIST FLEXION
Remove ergonomic palm bar. Stand unit upside down on a table. Rest the forearm of the wrist to be exercised in the other hand. Position the bar across the palm and press the bar in a downward motion while flexing only the wrist joint. Strengthens wrist and forearm muscles.

It is suggested that in addition to the above flexing exercises, fingers be stretched in the opposite direction to complement your exercise program.

WARNING!
Like any other piece of exercise equipment, strain, muscle fatigue or other injury can occur from the use of this product. Start slowly with few repetitions as strength is increased over time. This product should be used moderately and with extreme caution. If you experience any pain or discomfort during or after use, discontinue and consult your physician immediately.
