Hi

[Ickle]

I’d just like to say hi to everyone. I’m 14 and have had my powerball neon blue for about half a year now and only now I’ve got into it because I’m playing major sports like rugby, hockey, cricket and boxing and need to bulk up a bit.
I’ve been on the website and read and watched the instruction videos. They all make perfect sense but I have one query. I keep losing my grip when I go to high RPM. I need some tips into how to hold it properly. Also the rubber bit on the side keeps moving and slipping off this is what usually causes me to lose grip and even sometimes drop it onto my bed (not the floor thank god).
Basically can you tell me how to hold and position it correctly.

Tips will be very much appreciated

hello ickle and welcome to the forum.
Well a quick and VERY usefull tip, wash your hands with soap every time before using your pwoerball. it helps a LOT!
and for the slipping rubber band, wash it with some soap or some "wash dishes" thing xD
Kind Regards

With the band i'd suggest taking it off and washing it in warm soapy water and then let it sit in warm (not hot) water for 10 mins. Then dry it and put it back on and leave it again for 10 mins. It should fir the ball a bit better then.

Also for grip you could look at getting something like SurGrip to help you grip tha ball. It is a liquid that you put on your hands to help with grip.

"wash dishes" thing xD
lol that helps loads :D
and btw when you do excerises how long should you do them for and what speed should you go at??

[Sayex]

i guess, you should be trainig at a 80% of your capacity?.. and.. for how long??.
the first months i guess you should do it for about 10-15 minutes once or twice a day?.
If hurts to much, then stop the training =P
Kind Regards
