I've just seen this device and wondered how long before one of the "tinpot" American organisations allows this as Approved support gear?


Whatever will they think of next??

510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq		Looks cool. Maybe a bit similar to gatting a bit of support from a shirt, without all the hassle? Good for training, obviously not good if allowed in comp though.

It looks a bit too stretchy so I'm going to wait for the triple layer canvas extreme version!

Arm wraps must be invented soon, wrap the entire arm from wrist to shoulder with 3m wraps.

682.5 kgs @ 83kgs Eq		I reckon this "supportive" device will put 20kg on my dips and get me an extra 10 pushups.

I think Metal already do forearm wraps, I've seen more than a few guys bench with knee wraps round their elbows and plenty more with elbow sleeves (the type made out of wrap material).

280.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq		ive used it acouple of times and its quite fun to use in training, you do get quite alot of "pop" of the bottem though. ive done 140x12 raw and then i have done 140x17 in this but that was at the end of a session so you do get quite alot out of it. its useful for some lockout/tricep work.

657.5 kgs @ 80.2kgs Eq		I think its an interesting training tool, gives the benefits of board presses while still doing the full range of motion.

Why not just not get fat in the first place?

851.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq		I have one and had a go with it last week. It did reduce alot of shoulder stress (which I have problems with already) and it made me like RAW benching a little bit more than I usually do.

Probably not a bad idea for getting a bit more tricep work in without over stressing shoulder joints.

X2. Not gonna knock it until I've had a go but fear it will get bad press on this site. I'm waiting for Wayne and JC views Happy
