Produktdetaljer

The Heavy Roller is a wrist training device that uses an offset loading mechanism. To maintain your grip during a lift you must squeeze the device and flex or extend the wrist against the direction of spin. The high torque generated at relatively low loads targets either your wrist extensor or flexor muscles to improve grip strength without loading the shoulders. An ideal training tool for climbers looking to maximise their grip strength gains.

Use this device over other grip trainers to provide a more direct stimulus to the forearms whilst excluding the upper arms and shoulders. Compared to hangboarding the Heavy Roller distributes loads over the entire hand by putting much less strain on the fingers. This means you can keep training your grip strength off the wall and away from the hangboard.

Wrist training is used in many ways

• To increase strength in the wrist extensor/flexor muscles and improve stability whilst climbing. This typically decreases the amount of friction required to maintain contact with less positive holds and surfaces.
• To add variety to a training plan and increase options for targeting grip strength.
• Rehabilitation of wrist injuries: targets the affected area with a progressive load. (More convenient than a rack of dumbbells)
• Rehabilitation of golfers/tennis elbow (tendonitis in the elbow), a common issue for climbers.

Features

• 60mm diameter grip: researched and tested to be the most effective size for wrist training. 
• Cord & extra wide wrap zones allow for a neutral wrist position when loading.
• Simply spin the device around to switch your focus from flexor to extensor.
• Extra wide to accommodate larger hands.
• Grippy black powder-coated finish.
• Mild Steel Construction.
• Spacer Bar for stability in use.
• Carabiner-friendly attachment point.

Warnings:

• Warning Max load: 80 kg
• Warning: Engaging in training carries inherent risks, including potential for injury or death. Warm up appropriately, assess your physical condition, and evaluate your surroundings and environment before engaging in lifts or hangs. Consider where weights may fall in the event of a failed lift to avoid crushing or collision hazards. If uncertain, seek guidance from a training professional.
• Warning: Prior to engaging in any lifting activities, it is crucial to conduct a thorough inspection of all equipment in the lifting system for structural integrity. Familiarise yourself with any warnings/instructions for associated equipment & seek guidance if unsure.
• Warning: Do not store outside
• Warning: Keep the accessory cords clean and free from contact with chemical substances, including organic chemicals, oils, acids, and bases.
• Warning: Utilise a rated carabiner exclusively with the heavy roller, avoiding attachment of any other item through the eyelet to prevent accidents, and refrain from inserting fingers into the eyelet to mitigate entrapment risks.
• Warning: This product is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18.
• The cord used in this product (ACCESSORY cords 5.0 – Yellow  (Code: A050TR41S000R)) is produced by MyTendon, for any information on the maintenance and care of the cord please consult the ‘TENDON Accessory Cords Manuals’ found on their website. ( )
