Cons of the Twist yo wrist
-
Gimmicky
-
Limited load
-
A bit too small
If you are mainly getting a
wrist roller to attack your underarms this might not be ideal. As the surface is a little small you will be picking away at it with your fingertips a lot more than with your entire hand. Great if you want to train your fingers for
climbing. A bit beside the point if all you want is to grip a
barbell harder for deadlifts. It depends on your goals, but this can be a bit gimmicky if you mainly work with a
barbell. On the other hand, if you want your fingers to become suction cups, here is your weapon of choice.
Alternatives to the twist yo wrist
If you want to run less risk of buying something gimmicky, buy some
Captain of crush grippers. These are more suited to the general needs of the public, as most people need a better crush grip for their
barbell and
dumbbell training.
If you are looking to maximize the load for your
wrist rolls, the
rogue wrist roller is the right option to pick. You can use your entire hand on both sides and even attach it to the
rack. The only downside is the price.
Conclusion for the Twist yo wrist
The
twist yo wrist is so cheap that you can not go wrong. You probably have bought booze that you could not open that cost more. That being said it is a better tool to run your fingers into mean suckers rather than your underarms into popeye version of themselves. This is based in that the surface is too small to get your full hands on them.
