Gripmaster

Each finger of the hand is powered by a completely separate system of muscles and tendons located in the hand, wrist, and forearm. Most of the hand’s power is generated by larger muscles in the forearm while finer movements are controlled by smaller muscles in the hand itself. Our wrist is the bridge which stabilizes the interaction of the hand & forearm. The Gripmaster is basically a tool that exercises each finger individually. It strengthens fingers, hands, and even forearms. Practitioners of Parkour and Freerun obviously benefit greatly from a more powerful grip and would do well to check these out. Its unique design allows you to isolate your digits and exercise each one on its own. Your hand is really five separate systems which work in seamless unity. The only way to develop superior strength, endurance, and coordination in your hands is to challenge and develop each finger individually. Once you exercise with Gripmaster you’ll notice an amazing difference almost immediately. The separate system which operates each finger will awaken and strengthen. Available in four tensions from extra light (three pounds per finger) to heavy (nine pounds per finger), the Gripmaster is compact and light enough to carry in your pocket. They can be picked up for around £10 and come with a complete exercise program.
 

While squeezing a rubber ball may be a great way to release nervous tension, it allows only a very limited range of motion and uncontrolled movements. Balls do not isolate individual fingers and specifically challenge and develop the five separate operating systems of the hand.

The old “v” grip increases crude grasping power in a few muscles in the forearm, but there are major drawbacks. It overly stresses a few muscles in the hand and forearm while ignoring many critical muscles in the forearm and all the fine control muscles in the hand itself. The “v” grip causes strain, imbalance, and loss of control.
