Thought i would post it up here since it seems to be very good for guitarists.
http://www.play.com/Gadgets/Gadgets/4-/174...ro/Product.html Its a little gadget which increases finger/wrist/arm muscles (so i presume very good for guitarists as it builds up the key muscles we need in order to play). One of my friends says its brilliant and you can tell the difference right away and is addictive. Also good for stress apparantly? Anyone ever used or heard of one of these things? looks fairly decent as a warmup excercise ! Mem |

I've had one of these for like a year now. They're great fun, and a really good way to warm up. Especially if your hands are always like ice.

Wow! The old Powerball, hey.
I haven't used mine for quite a while. They are fun & also addictive.  Mine is the "techno" model. It doesn't have the digital readout on top. I don't think it is as fast as the standard ones, but it has 6 LEDs that light up & give you a scrolling readout of your top speed. Very cool!  Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iETnzPV4sPM...feature=related Of course, because of the motion you use, when you get one all your friends will assume you use it to practice your "self pleasuring" skills!

I've tried it, it's a little tricky to start rotating at first, but when you get it going you definitely don't want to quit. Very interesting exercise!
Recommend it!

Found my old powerball covered in dust and have since started to use it to warm up before playing guitar and I must say it's very effective! Just thought I'd see if anyone else is using it as a warm up and dug up this old thread.

These used to be called DynaBee's. We've been using them for forearm and wrist rehab for 25 years, I bet.
