Great for squeezing anytime pretty

"Great for squeezing anytime pretty easy"

Get this one. No joke

"Solid product. I’ve used other forearm trainers similar but this one is the best. It’s a larger size to fit naturally in the hand and give a full range of motion. It’s stiffer to eliminate lateral folding. It’s got a quantified resistance value instead of just generic “firm- extra firm” terms. It’s a beautiful color. All great reasons to get this one and avoid the “Bezos” knockoffs."

Just what she asked for

"I'm with a spicy Latina chick that told me the endless hours of video gaming didn't build enough grip strength for her robust neck. This seemed to do the trick. She couldn't be any happier now. Thanks Black Diamond."

Colton s. (5/5)

Love it!

"I've tried several different forearm training tools over the years, and I feel that all have had awkward ergonomics for me. This tool LOOKS awkward, but works really well - I love the simplicity and flexibility."

Chris B. (5/5)

Strength for Days!

"Ever since I got the forearm trainer, my forearms have gotten stronger. It is such a simple way to activate those forearm muscles. They are also a great warmup before doing more extreme exercises. Highly recommend. Great product!"

David D. (5/5)

When Training is THAT Difficult!

"I have to say, I'm always a little skeptical about training tools, but when I acquired one of these lil' Debbies, my school day and instruction time with my students became that much more pleasant! I walk around my class, working with students, all the while strengthening my forearms. Has it helped?--Sure! Does it keep me psyched about climbing?--Absolutely! And will I use it everyday of the school week?--You betcha!"

Christopher D. (5/5)

It is what it is.

"Not the best trainer, but it does as advertised. Came in a box about 30x the size in needed to be with ~8ft of packing paper, which was disappointing."

Nicole R. (3/5)

Surprisingly Great

"I received this as a gift and didn’t expect to use it much, but I find myself using it all the time at my desk. I don’t expect huge gains or anything but it’s good for keeping the fingers spry, and I like using it to warm up my forearms when I’m driving to the crag/gym!"

Steve O. (5/5)

Solid, like your forearms will be

"Solid product that does exactly what it is supposed to. No bells or whistles just straight forward usage. Use this bad boy for a few weeks and you'll be squeezing your margarita limes with no effort at all."

Nick F. (5/5)

Love it!

"Works great - we let our young son use it as a fidget toy. It's subtle, quiet, and helps him focus while getting stronger. Not sure it'd be great for a moderate/strong adult climber but for our use, it's perfect."
