WRIST WEIGHTS
One of my fave movements in the NROL4W program is the one arm dumbbell snatch. After 30 lbs the dumbbells in my gym, like most gyms (duh!), go up in increments of 5 lbs. It is not recommended to increase weight by more than 10% in a single week. Plus, as I mentioned in a previous post, the thought of doing so by 5 lbs for a single weak girly arm like mine was scary when imagining a db snatch gone wrong and the db flying through the air. Ditto for the incline db bench press I was doing with two 30’s I could not get two 35’s even into position to start and if I did get them up my arms would likely have failed and the db’s would’ve been “caught” by my face. So I bought wrist weights to bridge the gap! The ones I bought are by ALL PRO. They were not cheap ($30) but I think they are worth it. I do think it is dumb that they are 2 lbs each. Common sense would have been to make them 2 1/2 lbs in my opinion. They are VERY comfortable. Cushy soft in fact! I had them on for a 45 minute session and there was no discomfort whatsoever. I’m happy with my purchase. : )
A DIFFERENT KIND OF GRIPPER
I love the GripPro Trainer! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more comfortable than any other gripper out there. It looks like a doggy chew toy and is probably where they got the idea!
It comes in 30 lbs, 40 lbs and 50 lbs and only cost me $6.95 This is the 50 lb one.
