Our Experience With Wrist Rollers
Wrist Rollers target the Forearm Flexors and partially target the Brachioradialis by rolling up a weighted rope.
They do not target the Extensor Muscles and contrary to their name they do not target the Wrist Flexors nor can you do a true wrist curl with a wrist roller.
There is another inherent problem associated with wrist rollers
Limited weight
Once you start improving your forearm and wrist strength this problem becomes evident.
The problem is when using a wrist roller you stand holding the apparatus out in front of you at arms length. Once
you start graduating to higher weight it becomes extremely difficult to hold even 10 pounds at arms length out in front of you for
any given amount of time and once you reach 15-25 lbs. you will fatigue the shoulders before the forearms. Many manufactures
of wrist rollers recommend not exceeding 10 lbs when using their apparatus. Therefore a wrist roller becomes pretty much becomes
a moot point after you build up to 10 lbs.
