Does this help make my wrist and forearms bigger?

Get a wet towel and wring it out by twisting and gripping in all directions.Spring grippers won't make forearms bigger.

This is just my personal experience and I am a super ectomorph so bare that in mind.The CoC gripper will magnify your grip strength unbelievably if you train as Pavel Tsatsouline recommends (greasing the groove theory.) Muscle tone in your forearm will also increase with strength, and I have even noticed a little bit of overall growth, but not terribly significant. If your only goal is bigger forearms, this might not be the way to go, but if your goal is strength, this is definitely an elite product.

I don't think you will see so much your wrist get "bigger" but you will see your forearm get more defined and show more vascularity - nice "pump"

Depends on your work ethic, training program, training philosophy, and diet.My advice: stay away from man-made stuff, including protein drinks, powders, sugared anything, wheat anything, and jerky most of the time. Get your protein from whole foods (not necessarily organic): nuts, meat, etc.Also: download Tim Ferriss' interview of Pavel Tsatsouline on iTunes or some other place. Follow Pavel's instructions.If you do these things, you'll get results you really want.

Combine with a wrist roller and continue your regular workout routine and yes. I have noticed an increase in forearm size and strength in a short time

It'll make your forearms just a tad bigger, doubt the wrist will get bigger.

don't have that. I have arthritis/both wrists. But I will say that the product worked fine in pain relief. I could not tell you why that is, though.

Yes, I used these for my elbows and I am also 160lbs. I found them quite tight on my forearms though. I recently upgraded to rehbands elbow sleeves which fit better though cost a ton more. I do have bigger forearms than most as I'm a carpenter, so the Tommy konos may work out great for you.

I think, if anything, it would give a better result. The Fat Gripz that people attach to dumbbell bars make the bar thicker, and dramatically alter the way the bar works the forearm. So gloves (or wrapping them in tape) would make the bars thicker and probably harder to work.Currently I'm using the ProHands gripmaster...and its too weak, I found one of these at the nearest used sporting goods store, along with a pair of Fat Gripz...unfortunately this is too strong.

No, John, I found no improvement or noticeable difference on my arms. This is what I bought it for.....my upper arms. Save your money!

Yes. This works. It works better than the perfect because of the specified muscle group grips. It comes with workouts and dvd. I implement fuul upper body workouts with this one piece of equipment. Best thing about it is that its fun use! Buy it!

No it does not if anything it will make you gain weight because of the whey proteins and its such high amounts of protein. It's meant for someone who is trying to bulk up or lifts weight a lot.

I don't think it will help you.... because it's really designed to help divert pressure off of certain ligaments in your wrist that cause carpal tunnel. .. it definitely works for that purpose. So unless you are having wrist pain, this probably not the product for you.

It has helped the shape of my arms in 8 weeks and strengthened them. My knee area is not so tight in my jeans. 8 weeks 6 days a week 30mi utes arms. 60 minutes legs. My circulation is much improved. Not sure if that answers your question. My family all ride their bicycles instead of driving the car. They all have gorgeous legs. Lots of muscle. It is similar to riding any bike. I think it is how you use it and how you plan your exercise. I am very pleased with this purchase and how it is part of my healthy plan.

Yes, your trainer would wear them on his forearms as you work on kicking or even boxing excersises.

THere is some flexibility, it does cover your forearm a bit but not too much. I used this while I was photographing people and it was a great support. It is easy to size up and tighten as needed, hope that helps. I read a few reviews and was able to decide this was the right one for me.

I wear the brace while doing pushups and yoga without problems. Although I do have to mention that this brace will help pain on the outside or ulnar side of your wrist it most likely isn't going to help with pain on the inside or radial (thumb) side of the wrist.

Less torque on the wrists with the Z bar. You can also do close grip bench presses with your hands 3-4 inches apart with little strain on the wrists. I work up to 192 pounds for sets of 12 reps on this exercise. I use to do them at the gym on the straight Olympic bar with a 10 in grip with 205 lbs or so for 10 or more reps and would have severe wrist pains in not time. This exercise with the Z-Bar gives you a closer grip, more triceps and no strain on the wrists. I am 62 with a true 19 inch arm and have NEVER used any steroids in my life since I began in the summer of 1968.

I think it will be too large for you. It's about 8x4 and pretty stiff you first get it. Although, you can adjust and tighten the cord that secures it to your forearm. If the widest part of your forearm is less than 8inches around I feel it would be too small. It was a little big for me and took a while to have it fit my arm well and the widest part of my forearm is about 9.5inches wide.

This does have a little more stability and holds your hands tighter and more stiff. I have small hands and wrists myself and this worked great for me. Also with my experience, You can return it very easily if its not a good fit for you.

This thing is longer than it looks. It will fit fine with your forearm size. But I would have it fit like how it is shown in the picture: don't let it go pass the wrist otherwise it'll begin to rip

I wish I could be more help, but I ordered it for a friend of mine. I did notice that it seems to fit him pretty well, and he doesn't have large wrists at all. He also claims that it REALLY works well.
