Questions & Answers
The one that weighs ten pounds is a bit squishy. For fingers, I use 10- and 20-pound rings. I can easily pinch one weighing ten pounds between my thumb and forefinger (I'm a man).
I just rinse them in the sink most of the time. If they're particularly filthy, I'll use dish soap. Cleaning them is a breeze.
Each ring is approximately three ounces in weight.

When I went fishing, walked the dog, or even picked up full glasses of water, I felt pain and weakness in both hands. My thumb (and my ability to pinch things) were the areas where I was most vulnerable. I knew I needed something that I could use in a variety of ways to work on my thumb's grip strength and how it interacts with my other fingers, and these rings have been ideal; by changing up how I hold them, I've been able to restore a lot of strength and tactile precision in just a few weeks. br>I was worried that most of the rings would be too easy to make a difference, but I haven't even touched the ones with the highest resistance yet, only the two with the lowest. br>They're soft, there's no odor, they're simple to use and adapt, they'll work for a variety of hand and grip strengthening needs, they're portable, and they're a great deal.
It's a good way to improve your gun grip. I bought this to strengthen my hands so that I could get a better grip on my handguns; there was nothing wrong with my hands, and I didn't need to rehab them; I just wanted a better grip. What I like about this is that as an ergonomist, I don't want hard or edgy surfaces pressing against the soft tissues of my hand as I exercise, which is exactly what other more traditional types of hand exercisers do. Because of the soft rubber, thickness, and circular shape, the stresses are evenly distributed across the palm of my hand; there are also several ways to grip and compress the rings, allowing you to strengthen in different directions and isolate individual fingers. Anyone who wants to improve or strengthen their hand grip should try this.
I have yet to try the 50 and 60 pound weights. ones yet. I moved up to the 20 and 30 after finding the 10 to be too easy. I'm 65 and have severe osteoarthritis in both hands (and many fingers) as well as my right wrist; I use the 20 and 30 for my left hand and the 30 for my right; I just started the 40 a few days ago and can't even squeeze it with my left hand, but I can with my right. br>I can do the other exercise where you put all your fingers inside the ring and flex outwards, but the one finger at a time squeeze is extremely difficult for me. I thought I could do it with my right hand, but it hurts my wrist a lot, and I wish I had known about these when my hands were in better shape. br>I would highly recommend these for people with healthy hands, but caution is advised for people like me. My parents' wonderful friend told me many years ago to "use it even if it hurts," and I still try to follow her advice. br>They were delivered on time and at a reasonable price. br>If my hands had been in better shape a few years ago, I would have given both easy to use and comfort five stars.
It comes highly recommended! Excellent craftsmanship. My hands are quite small. I find it very useful. I've begun utilizing the ten-point system. While I'm watching TV, I'm feeding 20 pound ones. I like that I can build up my grip strength over time. The nerves and muscles in my shoulders are also being worked. Love it. It comes highly recommended!.
Even though I'm not a bodybuilder, the 60 appears to be a breeze to squeeze. Even though my left hand is weaker, it is capable of handling it. I bought these because my spring-loaded ones were hurting my hand, but they aren't much better. Even when I use it, the silicone grips my hand. br>br>What I like about them is that they don't make any noise and they have a cute appearance, similar to teething rings. They're also great for fidgeting. So when I'm zooming, I can play with these while also getting a little stronger, and there's nothing in the way of them breaking. The other sizes, however, are useless unless I use only two fingers, and the 10 is extremely soft. There's also a cute bag included.
I'm recovering from wrist reconstruction and am nearing the end of my physical therapy sessions. The surgery took place four months ago, and I had to wear a cast for seven weeks. The Vive Multiple Resistance Grip Strengtheners are far more practical and convenient than the therapist's putty (which is also cleaner). The various levels of resistance allow you to progress at your own pace. I would strongly suggest these to anyone looking for a low-cost therapeutic aid for hand or wrist recovery.
Six distinct strengths provide a wide range of options. I find the 10 and 20 pound rings to be too easy, and the 50 and 60 pound rings to be difficult but manageable. As a result, I use the 30 and 40 on my 3-piece set. Every morning, I go for a 4-mile walk. As they sink in and become more pliable, I expect them to become easier. When that happens, I'll move on to the more powerful ones. The Iron Crush Gip rings are a good choice if you already have a strong grip. I invested in a 60-inch television set. I tried to move an 80-pound set but couldn't.
For years, I had the Black Diamond light blue ring in my car (a common rock climber habit), and it smelled (literally). I believe that many of the current odor issues with products are due to China's lax environmental regulations. I have no idea where that old ring (now in the trash) or these rings are made, but they have no odor at all, and I get six rings for the price of one Black Diamond ring (roughly adjusted for inflation). I almost never use the softest or the hardest, but I do enjoy using the middle four (and perhaps the hardest one day). For this type of thing, I don't bother with a manual. I do what I want or look up suggested exercises on the internet, so I'm not grading the instructions' quality, which I promptly tossed in the recycle bin. br>br>I also bought the balls (in the middle four colors), but I don't use them nearly as much - The rings allow for more movement during the squeeze, which seems like it would be a better workout (I don't have any data to back this up, so use your own judgment - Also, the balls are quite nice - There's no odor, and it has a nice texture.
