PowerBall (OT)

Just bought one of them Powerballs to aide my recovery from breaking both wrists in a car accident 18 months ago and to rebuild strength in the lower arms.

Has anyone used one and if so any good?

 

i used one last year and they do work... you just gotta be patient.

 

cool ta - mine came with no instructions but I don't get how long each time I need to use it - I manage about 90 seconds before getting pains

 

Why do people buy things and THEN ask if they're actually any good?

 

do p90x and in 90 days you will be like Arny

 

Why bother mate?

 

sweet

 

That's what I'm asking.

 

No as in your question - does it contribute to this article and its content. Yes I have had feedback prior to buying it but I have only just bought it and used it a few times but seemed **** so thought I would cast my net on the feedback front

 

I didn't mean anything particularly bad by it, but I've noticed that people do it an awful lot, so I was just wondering why.

It's almost as if people want to be reassured that they haven't just completely wasted their money. In fact, that's probably exactly what it is.

 

Fair do's - though couldn't give a feck about the money more my time and effort

 

Take some steroids aswel but if not just go with the protein shakes. You have to eat the right things and work hard.

 

I have brain cells though, thats the problem

 

Well, to add something constructive, I'd advise getting some instructions before you start to form an opinion on how well it works. I presume that the exact way of using it, and the duration of using it, are two very important factors when it comes to how successful it is.

Although you may want to dig around the web for people who use these things as a part of physiological recovery, because I imagine it's a whole different kettle of fish, and probably well beyond the knowledge any of us have here.

 

It came with a cd so will check that out - I assumed that the pain meant it was working - haha

 

Usually it would, but if you have an injury then you have to play it safe. There are ligaments, tendons and joints which can stiffen up if they're overworked too soon.

It shouldn't be too much of a worry, but I'd at least stick to the official instructions laid out.

 

Cheers mate I will do. Had a glance of the instructions and no time scales given but the method of using it I was doing correctly - I'll keep it up for a few months and see if there is a difference. If not, oh well!

 

i have one.. they are good.. i now have a beastly ****ing hand

 

and how long do you use it for in each session? (the powerball not your c*ck)
