Application of Gripmaster

Purpose of Gripmaster
The exercises are not tailored to any specific sport. But is instead designed to increase and maintain strength in the muscles. However, you can use a Gripmaster to gain several benefits when practicing your sport:
Golf:

Tennis:
A stronger wrist increases the control and power of the blows.
Climb:
Gripmaster increases the strength of the hand, wrist and forearm leading to longer endurance.
Basketball:
Shots, dribbling and passes happen more uniformly and with higher accuracy as the muscles can better be in a locked position.
Weightlifting:
You achieve much better control at maximum pressure, as with a strong wrist and forearm you minimize the risk of losing your balance during the last pushes.
How to use Gripmaster
GROSS GRASP:
Place the middle of your fingers on the keys with your fingertips covered over the top. Hold all fingers towards the center of the device as if making a fist and squeeze as long as possible. This exercise strengthens the fingers, thumb, wrist and forearm so that you get a firmer grip.
HOOK POSITION:
Place your fingertips on the individual buttons with the support grip in the palm of your hand. Keep your fingertips slightly bent and bend all fingers towards the center of the device. This strengthens the long muscles in the forearm and wrist while stretching smaller muscles in the hand. The exercise provides increased movement and endurance.
KEY PINCH KEY PINCH:
Place your thumb on one of the outermost buttons, bend your index finger and place the support panel on the side of the index finger. Squeeze and release periodically. This exercise strengthens thumb and index finger coordination. Increase the resistance by pressing two buttons at the same time and otherwise continue as described before.
TIP PINCH:
Hold the Gripmaster vertically and place one fingertip at a time on the button as if it were a trumpet. Alternate between fingers and press and release repeatedly. This strengthens the smaller muscles in the hand and gives greater endurance.
Wrist flexion
Remove the ergonomic palm plate. Turn the Gripmaster upside down on a table. Rest the underside of the wrist with the other hand. Then bend the wrist up and down repeatedly. The exercise strengthens the wrist and forearm.
It is suggested that, in addition to the above-mentioned bending exercises, that the fingers are stretched in the opposite direction to supplement your training program.
*Note
Like all exercise equipment, muscles must be stretched before and after exercise to avoid injury. Start quietly, and then increase the power and intensity on the Gripmaster.
