How do I start to use the RGT Wrist Builder? |
|||||||||||||
| As in all exercises, stretch the wrist muscles before starting to
strengthen! Stretch the muscles of the forearm by moving one hand to all possible directions with the other hand. For the first 1-2 weeks, a gradual increase in sets and repetitions and hold for 20-30 seconds is recommended. It is best to start out with 1 set of 10 repetitions in all directions once a day for the first week, then increase to 2 sets the second week and 3 sets the third week. |

How does one use the RGT Wrist Builder to strengthen and build endurance? |
|||||||||||||
| To strengthen and build forearm and wrist endurance, one should perform these five exercises regularly: Wrist Flexion, Extension, Supination, Pronation and Deviation. | |||||||||||||
What muscles are trained with the RGT Wrist Builder? |
|||||||||||||
 The Wrist
Flexion Exercise works the flexor muscles which are located on the palm side
(anterior) of the forearm. Flexion of the wrist is obtained primarily through the
flexor carpi radialis and flexor carpi ulnaris and secondarily by the palmaris longus and
long abductor of the thumb. The flexors flexors of the fingers only assist if they are
extended and are not gripping an object.The Wrist Extension Exercise works the extensor muscles which are located on the posterior (back side) of the forearm. Extension of the wrist is obtained primarily by the extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis and by the extensor carpi ulnaris. The extenders of the fingers assist in extension only if the fist is clenched. The Wrist Supination Exercise (turning, rotating the palm up) works the supinators of the forearm. Supination is performed in the forearm by the supinator muscle, extensor carpi radialis longus and the biceps brachii of the upper arm. |
|||||||||||||
 The Wrist
Pronation Exercise (turning, rotating the palm down) works the pronators of the
forearm. Pronation is performed by combined action of the pronator teres, pronator
quadratus, and the flexor carpi radialis and, and in extremely forceful pronation, the
palmarus longus. The brachial radialis muscle is considered by some anatomist to be both a
pronator and a supinator form the extremes of supination and pronation.The Wrist Radial/Ulnar Deviation (abduction) Exercise works the radial and ulnar flexors of the wrist. Ulnar abduction (movement towards the fifth finger) is obtained by the combined actions of the extensor carpi ulnaris and flexor carpi ulnaris. Radial abduction (movement towards the thumb side) is obtained primarily by the long abductor and short extensor of the thumb, and secondarily by the extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis, flexor carpi radialis and the long extensor of the thumb. |
