View Full Version : Captains of crush VS powerball.
platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 05:44 PM Im just about to order some captains of crush, but I want to know if anyone things Id be better off with powerball. All help appreciated. Its for strengthining fingers, hands, wrists and forearms. Primarily hands and wrists.
i have never used 1 of those captains of crush things,but powerballs are fantastic,from the elbow down i am much much stronger
platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 05:51 PM Cool thanks man. I mainly want it for hand and wrist strength though, so I think Id probably be better off with captains of crush. Although if I was going for other stuff I may take the powerball. Thanks
Trick 02-20-2007, 05:55 PM Me and my roomate just got one yesterday (powerball) and let me tell you, that thing is insane, and basically, there's no way you'll ever be too strong for it. Takes maybe an hour to get used to, haha, at least it took me an hour to figure it out. But I would easily recommend it.
platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 05:56 PM Hmmm.......... does it do you hand muscles.
plus the thing with the powerball is its loads of fun to play with,it feels weird at first
when i play with it,the next day,every muscle from my elbow down has been worked and i can tell
platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 06:00 PM Hands aswell?
no my hands are on my shoulders u daft twat! lol .... yeh my hands aswell
actually thinking about it,it works the bicep and tricep aswell
platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 06:02 PM Damn, I may just get the powerball!
platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 06:03 PM Yeh the site says it does shoulders aswell.
its really good,its hard to get the hang of at first,you will need to use the string to get it started,but after abit of practice when you get good at it you can start it with your hand,its a weird little thing,its like a gerbil on steroids in a ball trying to escape haha
platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 06:08 PM lol! Damn cos its not actually FOR boxing. Its for arm wrestling, I can imagine the Captains of crush having a better effect for hand muscles, but the powerball more for wrist, and overall.
Trick 02-20-2007, 06:26 PM I'd go with the powerball man, when it gets spinnin' and you gotta try to keep it under control, you'll know why. Depending on how you hold it, it can work alot of muscles.
platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 06:29 PM Yeh. but Im quite interested in actual grip strength - whats it like for that?. Man I dont know what to get!
the powerball will be alot better for grip strength,because if you dont hold onto it tight,its gonna fly around you're house like flubber!
phillies04 02-20-2007, 06:33 PM Call me an idiot, what is a powerball?
platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 06:36 PM Lol nice analogy Azza! Phillies, Ill give you the site. Basically its a ball that you spin in your hand. Read the site itll explain it well. http://www.powerballs.com/
platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 06:41 PM You cunts have swung me Im going to get the powerball. I still dont think it will be as good for grip but Ill try it.
platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 07:01 PM I ordered one.

platinummatt! 02-20-2007, 07:20 PM Just the regular one 250HZ without the lights.
Mick Hucknall 02-21-2007, 02:00 AM I have a powerball great things just make sure you don't lose the string you get with it. Also with all the wanking you do Matt I though you wouldnt need an aid
eazy_mas 02-21-2007, 02:18 AM why do you have to choose when you could get both :D
anyway i think if it what comes first i would go with the powerball because of the armwrestling
