I'm considering whether I should get some things from ironmind.

I want to know if anyone has this and what do you think about it. Is there something better or cheaper on the market? would getting a bunch of rubber bands and filling a balloon with sand be just as effective?

I would also like to know everyone's opinion on this as well

That first thing isn't worth it. You can buy a similar squishy ball thingy at a toystore or dollar store, and the other piece is just a rubber band.

I'm with Sonny, by which I mean I agree with him, rather than 'being' with him in the biblical sense. Ironmind have some great kit and you won't hear many people badmouth them around here, but I personally wouldn't bother with the hand health kit, I've got a bunch of rubber bands and a foam ball thing with a pharmacuetical companies logo on it that I got for free, does the same job.

Haven't tried the twist yo wrist, but frankly I'd go with a hammer and wristroller first off.

Agreed, I'm with Smashius by which I mean in a purely sexual manner which is also the same as in the biblical sense.

Levering + wrist roller will do more for your lower arm than that hockey puck thing.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Ironmind's store is chocked full of overpriced shit (aside from the grippers).

The $40 weight collars I bought from them could have easily been made for less than $10.

Shows what you know. Ironmind collars are 100% organic.

And also, if you put your penis in it, you'll instantly have an orgasm.
