Power balls

i am starting the gym again next week after a month out due to no work, so glad to be going back, however i was also looking at purchasing a power bal, half because of the fun competetive side, but they also say it promotes growth, muscle "toning" among other things, just wanted you opinion or views on these as to weather they are good good to increase muscle density etc,

there is no such thing as "muscle toning"

Maybe I'm just missing the whole gist of it, but it seems pretty pointless to me. What is it supposed to help with? Grip work? Arm strength?

 

[Mudge]

Muscle toning is a term for people who dont work out, then later start to partake in some mild physical activity and can see something after a few weeks.

Muscle is muscle, you dont tone it. You are fat, not fat, or somewhere in between.

i think a rubics cube would be funner.

do they still have those?

 

[Squaggleboggin]

Yeah. I know someone who could do it in about 55 seconds and he was about 14. Someone else I know can do it in I think 32.

I guess jacking off wasn't ever as scientific.

those things are fun.. i used one for golf and it really improved my grip.

i know theres no such thing as muscle toning, but it was things like grip etc i wanted to know about. i am doing forearm work on mondays chest and biceps day to help improve deadlift grip as wanted to know if it really helps or is a load of crap really

they do look fun though

oh and could only ever do 2 sides of rubic cube
