Okay. Yes these are "rubber bands"- but that's okay, because bands made of rubber are one of the best ways to exercise the muscles that push your fingers up and out, and to a lesser degress extend your wrist. Sure you could go out and buy regular rubber bands. However finding really thick ones can be a problem, but the bigger issue is finding them in varying resistances. And progressive resistance is the whole key to getting your muscles stronger. Use the same band over and over and you'll never gain any strength. On the other hand, trying a little bit harder band gives the hand muscles a reason to grow stronger. That's why you get 5 sets of bands with varying resistances- sweet.

I highly recommend these little bands for a well rounded hand/forearm strengthening program. While most hand and forearm devices are aimed at improving your grip, few stop to think about improving the performance of the finger extensors and abductors which open the hand and are used a lot in many activities. Good for people who type a lot, play the guitar, or are trying to rehab their hand/wrist/elbow-give 'em a try! Also recommend Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow if you suffer from tennis elbow.

5.0 out of 5 stars They Really Work, September 3, 2005

I was a little skeptical about this product at first. Honestly, who wants to pay for some really big rubber bands? I went ahead and purchased a set of these when I was purchasing a few other things from Ironmind and honestly I use these more than most other products.

These bands provide 5 different strengths and so that you may vary the resistance. In addition, unlike everyday rubber bands these are extremely durable and the perfect size. The smaller bands also work great as a rehabilitation tool for people with wrist or hand injuries. If you work with your hands on a regular basis and constantly find some residual pain in your hands, wrists or forearms you must try these out.

Overall this is an amazing, portable, workout. Once you try these you will be truly amazed at the difference they make.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for increasing hand strength and flexibility, September 21, 2005

Like Mr Sprouffske, I got these bands along with a Captains of Crush gripper. I figured that with the gripper I would be working my hand muscles a certain way and it would be great to have something to work them in the exact opposite direction for greater mobility and strength. Hence these bands.

They work great! A lot of people work on computers all day long. Our hand muscles and wrists get tired, over-worked, and cramped from that work all day long. Even if you exercise regularly, your hands and forearms are still not getting a focused workout. That's where Ironmind's products come in. I have the 'Trainer' gripper and these bands and have been using them for a little while now. I feel increased strength in my grip and my forearms.

I work out twice a week with these (usually on my two days off from gym workouts) and use both the gripper and these bands together for a comprehensive forearm and hand workout. Both these products are super convenient to pack on a trip out of town as well, since they are so compact. Whether you work out regularly with weights or not, you will benefit from these products as good gripping strength is fundamental to most everything we do. Plus it will, I suspect, keep you from getting painful arthritis as you grow older.
