Went round my mates tonight to sort his pc out, and he got this ball thing, wound it up and started twisting his hand.

He passed it to me, and it was quite mad, took some getting used to, and my forearms were aching and swollen after. Thought Ive gotta get one of these!

A trip to Argos and £7.99 later, I have one. They are AWESOME for forearm training and also good fun and relaxing also!

Need to get a new battery for it tho so I can see what RPM I get it up to!

Heres a link: here

 

My mate was going on about one of these the other day but he forgot to show me it

that would be the cheap ass copy of the "powerball neon" as found on play.com they do indeed wreck your arms after a serious speed/endurance run i believe the world record is around 15k

 

Was gonna say sounds like the power ball I bought years ago, can be addictive

 

the record on one model of these is over 20k, but on the 250hz one's it's about 16k.
i've managed about 12k on a couple of occassions and really do build up forearms pretty well.
pluss they're a good laugh when you'va had a few beers to try and keep hold of it!

 

If your arms hurt tonight, just wait until tomorrow

 

i love mine !! got between 10 -11 k not bad relii got it buzzin a treat lol !

 

I cant put the fecker down!

Can spin it up as well without the string

Need to get the battery changed so I can see the RPM, cant be arsed taking it back to Argos for a £1 battery!

 

Ahh you absolute tosser... I'm going to have to go to Argos tomorrow now!

 

I have one a little different to that, I used to use it for training for Tenpin bowling believe it or not.

Mine has a handle out of each side and excercises both arms evenly.

I got mine about 10 years ago, so they are hardly a new idea!! LOL.

 

Put a celebrity's name on a tooth brush and it's a new idea.

Benni.

 

I smell a bowling competitor

 

I remember Porkie posting about these before. I've got tendonitis quite badly in both wrists from bmx does anyone know if one of these would be any use to ease it?

 

You can keep the rpm low, and it acts as a good massager/relaxer?

 

How are your arms the morning after?

 

Had one of these for a few years but a "powerball" http://www.powerballs.com/

look on the site has video's of some greek bloke that has the record it is mad!!

My best was about 13,000 but I have no idea where mine is!

 

I hear excessive wanking can help lol

 

Not from me mate. Back in the day maybe, my best is 257 with 8 strikes in a row, but these days, I'm no better than your average non-competitive bod.

I do all the gear though, in the loft.

 

Not too bad at the mo, will give it more death later

8 Strikes? Nice

 

me too,

io bowled a 238 last night. 3 strikes away from a perfect game


as for the ball, i do have one. used to be able to get 14k but cant get past 11k now

 

I've got to about 13k, can't remember what it was now... Looked like a complete spaz doing it though!!!

 

I'm a qualified Bowling instructor too, or was.

 

wow!!! Its 2006 again!

 

Just bought one today, great fun

Best is 7k so far

 

i went out and got one on saturday,,, best i got is 9400 LOL,,,

 

Just ordered a powerball one from firebox. I'll see if it helps my fucked wrists at all. I'm willing to try anything as some days i cant even hold my own weight on them to do press ups.

 

Apparantly this is the record

My record so far's 9001 only had it since lunch seems to be going down a storm in the office lol......

 

piss funny the bloke in the video bounces round the room like a fuckin washing machine lol

i would get one but i dont want my arms to look like popeye lol

matt

 

How about this??

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=LQPESY-pndw

 

pmsl @ "This guy looks like Anton Chigurh from 'No Country For Old Men' " lol

 

My best is about 900 i've realised that my wrists don't work.

 

8700 my best so far

 

 

PMSL @ one of the replies on the you tube vide

does this thing help you jack off or what

 

oh my fucking god.

http://www.powerballs.com/videos.php?m=Video

tell me thats not what i look like when i use mine.

the 16,695 video.

 

If I understand that correctly - it is the fact he manages 20,000 Revolutions in the 90 seconds. Not 20,000 rpm comparing with his 16,000 rpm in the previous video. Either way.. madness

As for not wanting forearms that look like popeye? Why not? I'd kill for them lol

RW

 

hahaha i forgot all about that greek chappy on youtube, pmsl everytime i see his videos..

Ginge

 

whats the difference between 250hz an the big one?

 

My wrists used to ache quite regular until i got a powerball. Do if for ten minutes few times a week and not had any pain since!

Very good in my opinion!!
