Developed as a result of a wrist injury
(and the ineffectiveness of traditional forearm exercises), The Formulator is
by far the best forearm developer we have utlized in our training
and performance center. Gripping exercises are one thing, but
the muscular inroading and range of motion with The
Formulator is without compare.
Flexion, extension, pronation, supination
and radial & ulnar abduction/deviation are possible with
The Formulator,
but with some unique features. First, the thumb is eliminated
as the weak link, a condition particularly noticeable with reverse
wrist curls. Consequently, if you decide to pre-exhaust reverse
wrist curls with barbell reverse curls, you will be able to work
the latter exercise far more intensely and effectively because
of non-fatigued thumb strength. In fact, immediately after reverse
wrist curls,stand up and perform reverse curls with The
Formulator
   
Second, the range of motion is superior,
and without any of the wrist cramping that is typical with barbell
work (as you grip with a tight fist and pull the bar in for a
hard contraction).
Third, The
Formulator provides an ideal variable resistance, as
the weight arm moves forward and up in an arc, with a slight
drop off at full contraction.
Fourth, because the hands are locked into
a particular position, it feels as though you are training in
a precision machine... each repetition feels perfect!
There is no wasted effort or movement.
Fifth, the heavy duty construction of The Formulator will
take any abuse by the strongest individuals (it is used by professional
sports teams), and yet its precision feel makes it the only device
of its type for injury rehabilitation... no need to grip or squeeze,
which action reduces unnecessary strain. And certainly it is
ideal for injury prevention of tennis and golfer's elbow.
Sixth, the weight differential is quite
something... although we are uncertain of the exact comparison,
10 pounds of weight on The
Formulator feels like using a 30-40 pound barbell. And
that means a lot less loading of plates and less travel weight
if you take it on the road.
Seventh, you can train the forearms to
complete fatigue, since your hands are locked into position,
you don't have to grip, and a slippery bar due to sweat is not
a concern.
The
Formulator is 'the' premier
forearm developer, and with only one workout you will feel the
difference; you will never return to traditional barbell forearm
training again. Some of our staff used it and noticed DOMS deep
to the core and a fatigue in the muscles not experienced with
traditional methods. No need for multiple sets!
