As guys we're often called upon to do things that require a lot of hand strength: Shake hands with a prospective boss, work the throttle on a Harley, hit a 250 yard drive, twist the lid off a pickle jar... the ability to do these things makes us the manly men we are.

Guys who shake hands like wet fish, or need a set of tools to pry the lids off jars... well, they end up singing Broadway show tunes, decorating interiors, and raising champion Pomeranians. (That was a JOKE. I am kidding. Please don't send me hate emails. Some of my best friends shake hands like wet fish, sing show tunes and decorate interiors. And they all have a great sense of humor, and live normal, happy, fulfilling lives. Raising show Pomeranians? Not so much. You guys have permission to send me hate emails.)

So how do you get that iron grip? Traditional workouts help. But to build real strength in your hands, wrists and forearms you need something specifically designed to target those areas. That's where DynaFlex comes in.

A few years ago I started developing Carpal Tunnel in my wrists from hours spent on my keyboard writing. Someone suggested the DynaFlex Powerball to work the muscles in my wrists. It helped. A lot. I've kept one on my desk ever since.

It's simple to use (once you get the hang of it), and when you get the internal gyroscope going at a good clip it'll spin at over 8,000 RPM generating 38 lbs of torque force. (Which is more than your first car had.) Fighting against that force builds muscle and stamina in your hands, wrists, forearms and shoulders. Quickly.

Recently the folks over at DynaFlex sent me one of their new Sports Gyro Exercisers, which has a built in handle grip, developed for those of you who play baseball, softball, tennis, golf, hockey, motocross, ski, etc. Anything where strong grip gives you an advantage. There's even a military strength version called the DynaMax, engineered with aircraft aluminum, that pushes an incredible 200 lbs. of dynamic resistance.

So put down the Pomeranian. Pick up a DynaFlex. And grip it and rip it.
