Thera-Band FlexBar - Blue - Heavy Resistance

Apparently I cant write anything else because it doesnt meet community guidelines, whatever that means.

Compre la azul y es mas flexible de lo que esperaba, pero esta bien muy apenas ya que empiezo a sentir resistencia casi al topo del movimiento de las muñecas, los otros colores me hubieran quedado flojos. Espero que no se fisure y se vaya rompiendo con el uso.

Using the Theraband completely fixed my tennis elbow that was ongoing for 4 months.

I have been eyeballing this item for a while, and had so many questions about it that I couldn't quite pull the trigger on purchasing it, so hopefully my review helps clarify some things for you.First question I had was about material. Last thing I wanted was foam that would tear, break down with heavy use, and generally lose it's usefulness quickly. Glory be, the FlexBar is made of good quality rubber! Thera-Band has a good reputation in the physical therapy/fitness world, so it makes sense that they would use quality rubber in this product as well.My second question was more along the lines of whether the strongest FlexBar would be a sufficient challenge as to be useful. I have been a weight lifter for 23 years and competed in strongman, power lifting, and other strength and endurance competitions. I like to think of myself as slightly more astute than the typical gym rat, and there are products out there that just don't work for my experience level. Second fear put to bed. In just a short time of playing with it out of the box I knew this was going to be great, and I may consider even getting a lighter resistance as well for some warm up work.Lastly, products have to be something I would use enough to give them regular time in my training schedule. There are lots of great tools out there that don't match up with my goals. That is to say that buying a painter the nicest hammer you can find probably won't have him using a hammer anytime soon. For me, this has a lot of potential to meet my goals. I specifically put a lot of stress on my hands and wrists, and this tool will help keep those areas in good health. To that end this would be a good tool for anyone in a ball handling sport, rock climbing, golf, or just looking to keep their hands in good working order.

This item is great and has not only helped my Tennis Elbow, but it has strengthened my arm so much that my arm fatigue in general is much less. This means that late in 2 hour or longer matches when my shots used to get sloppy, I am still nearly as precise as I was at the beginning. This is huge. It has been a big advantage over my opponents. Amazingly, all I have to do is 3 sets of 15 repetitions of the Tyler Twist spread through the day, every day to get this benefit. To be clear, when my elbow was acute I was using the red bar and not playing for about 2 weeks then I started playing again but only at 40% of skill level. Lots of shots and serves were too painful to make. In another 2 weeks I got to perhaps 60% of skill level and progressed to green. After 6 weeks I was at 95% of skill level and using blue once a day. A month later I was using blue all the time. The first twist sometimes hurts a bit but it gets better as I warm up. At this point I thought I was OK but I found out that the lingering pain was a warning that I still should not be playing everyday. Hard matches on consecutive days set me back to where I had to drop down to using mostly the green bar. But after a few days back on green my arm felt good enough to come back to blue. It has been four months now of using the Therabars and most of them I have been playing a couple or a few days a week. I am hoping regular use of the blue bar combined with modifications of my strokes to be less stressful to my arm will get me back to where I can play as much as I would like again. 5 months in and yesterday I played an intense singles match for 2.5 hours. I just did my 15 twists on blue with just the barest amount of discomfort and I plan on playing again tonite. Plus my arm no longer hurts at all doing day to day things. I think my tennis elbow is a thing of the past, thanks to this amazing device.
