Captain's of crush ordered, forearm training begins!!

Carefull with these people.

You could easilly and i mean really easilly damage your wrists with these, especially from too much pressure or over use.

My familly used to prune and own a Vineyard nursery and a fair few of them now have pretty dodgy wrists from pruning, some requiring Surgery.

I pruned too and i know the type of swelling and pain you can get from that type of movment of the hand and pressure on the wrists. You will occasionally feel your wrists twang and hurt like **** once you squeeze hard enough or have it held wrong

This is something you should really read if you are gping to use these.

You will easilly damage your wrists, much easyer then other parts of the body IME
 
I can see that it would be easy to damage them through this, it's a trememdous pressure being transmitted through quite a small area (in my case only just over 6"!). That said, the strength is built up over time and presumably the tendons can become tougher too? Not noticed anything yet anyhow but it could be a concern. RSI is caused by awkward positioning of the wrist rather than hand movements, but this looks different.

At first these really hurt my hands, I said about a really deep set bruise on a finger joint, but now that has all completely gone and they are 100% comfortable to use. You'll only notice if you wash your hands in hot water after use, the skin is a tad tender :)
