“When I was a kid, I broke both of my wrists and therefore had very weak wrists, which led to trouble with lifting weights,” said an inventor from San Juan, Texas. “Since push-ups are my best exercise, I came up with the idea of combining them with a grip-strengthening exercise so that they also targeted the muscles in the fingers, hands, wrists and forearms.”
PITTSBURGH, /PRNewswire/ -- “When I was a kid, I broke both of my wrists and therefore had very weak wrists, which led to trouble with lifting weights,” said an inventor from San Juan, Texas. “Since push-ups are my best exercise, I came up with the idea of combining them with a grip-strengthening exercise so that they also targeted the muscles in the fingers, hands, wrists and forearms.” He created a prototype for the GRIP UPS XTREME to provide a more effective way to perform push-ups. The unit strengthens the grip while also targeting the muscles normally used in push-ups. It thereby isolates muscles in the fingers, hands, wrists and forearms. The device is usable for routine physical fitness, as well as for rehabilitative physical therapy. Additionally, the invention features a lightweight, easily portable design that allows for on-the-go use. The original design was submitted to the National Sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
