Python Power Twister Bar - Upper Body Exercise for Chest, Shoulder, Forearm, Bicep and Arm Strengthening Workout Equipment by Core Prodigy

This was an awesome find. I've been doing the fitness things basically all my life of 38 years and I don't really do reviews like that but I had to share. This is official, simple but challenging and not costly but the quality is definitely their. Big believer in being able to command the body to move as I see fit instead of it telling me on how it wants to move which means it needs to be trained and this lovely piece of equipment will definitely help with that. You can also use it for you legs, their is a sweet older women who shows you what you can do with it.

It's good, it's compact, overall a worthwhile purchase, but it definitely needs solid handles. My wrists/hands hurt after a few reps.

I got this after the hydraulic one I bought turned out to leak fluid until it no longer worked. I bought the strongest one, but it definitely doesn't offer 80-160 lbs of resistance, because I can easily curl it at the most choked-up grip position (max resistance) with one arm, which would mean I was curling 160 lbs, which I know I can't do one-armed even once, let alone multiple times with little effort. It can't just be that I got the medium-strength one by mistake, either, because I can't curl 110 lbs that easily, either. I can't even curl 80 lbs, the lowest this version is supposed to go, that easily. It feels like about 30-50 lbs resistance (or possibly less) depending on grip, which is lower than the 30-80 lbs claimed by the weakest version. Also, if you bend it farther than the angle shown in the pictures, which I thought might be what I was supposed to do to get the full resistance, it doesn't quite straighten out all the way until you reverse it and bend it back.You can't use the wrist straps with any grip but the farthest out, and instead of putting a hole or loop there so you can attach a longer lanyard, the straps are tucked inside the plastic grip and basically can't be replaced, so you either settle for the weakest resistance or risk smashing something or someone if your grip slips. Considering that the safety warnings say not to use it without the straps, which is probably good advice, that makes even claiming it has multiple levels of resistance kind of false advertising. I'll probably end up looping a second strap through the straps to lengthen them, but that really shouldn't be necessary.All that said, it's better than a hydraulic one that leaks everywhere and eventually stops working entirely, and I can use it at my desk without overloading my office chair that's only rated to 250 lbs, which is what would happen if I used actual weights.

I appears to be beneficial, but I have only had it a week.

☆☆☆☆◇(new)The company reached out to me and I felt the need to praise their customer service and the fact they acknowledged some criticism I've made about their product. I really did like the idea they made the handle bars longer than traditional bars that brings a level of flexibility that others don't have. I think the simplest way to differentiate the bars strength level is to simply change the color of the wrist straps so there's a very clear distinction without having to hurt the bottom line too much. I thank the company for reaching out, and if another product comes out that I find interesting I'll definitely give them a shot again in the future!☆☆☆◇◇ (old)I have a big gripe with this one, is that you can't differentiate between any of these bars from other ones cause there's no obvious indication. It's not written or shown anywhere except the box and I have to wonder because I have the strongest resistance bar and it feels oddly too easy and I haven't lifted for a long while, it does give me a workout if I tried but I really want something that has more resistance. One other thing is the quality, I've been only at this for an hour and it won't hold shape and seems like a gap is being made between the springs. I want to use it, but I'm kind of hesitating since I can't find another with more resistance.
