Python Power Twister Bar - Upper Body Exercise for Chest, Shoulder, Forearm, Bicep and Arm Strengthening Workout Equipment by Core Prodigy

Power twister is badass! This is no joke. Had several over the years going back to the seventies. The Python is just as tough as the old ones but handles might be a little more comfortable. Just two requests. The loops on the ends need to be bigger/ longer. Some exercises are impossible to use the loops effectively. Also, would love to see a brief, detailed addition of more exercises. You need to warm up wrists and shoulders before using. This is a workout for sure. Can’t figure out how to engage triceps with this but still a great tool!

Very helpful in achieving your exercise goals

61 yo male. Got the middle one for reps. 4-5 or 6 sets of 30 while watching TV. Nice and slow, feel the burn, see results. Dumb not to have one.

Very well made. Sturdy and it does make your muscles work.

Works well, good service, great product.

I use this almost daily for rehab. It’s a great tool for getting stronger.

I use this when I don’t feel like going to the gym.

I got this after the hydraulic one I bought turned out to leak fluid until it no longer worked. I bought the strongest one, but it definitely doesn't offer 80-160 lbs of resistance, because I can easily curl it at the most choked-up grip position (max resistance) with one arm, which would mean I was curling 160 lbs, which I know I can't do one-armed even once, let alone multiple times with little effort. It can't just be that I got the medium-strength one by mistake, either, because I can't curl 110 lbs that easily, either. I can't even curl 80 lbs, the lowest this version is supposed to go, that easily. It feels like about 30-50 lbs resistance (or possibly less) depending on grip, which is lower than the 30-80 lbs claimed by the weakest version. Also, if you bend it farther than the angle shown in the pictures, which I thought might be what I was supposed to do to get the full resistance, it doesn't quite straighten out all the way until you reverse it and bend it back.You can't use the wrist straps with any grip but the farthest out, and instead of putting a hole or loop there so you can attach a longer lanyard, the straps are tucked inside the plastic grip and basically can't be replaced, so you either settle for the weakest resistance or risk smashing something or someone if your grip slips. Considering that the safety warnings say not to use it without the straps, which is probably good advice, that makes even claiming it has multiple levels of resistance kind of false advertising. I'll probably end up looping a second strap through the straps to lengthen them, but that really shouldn't be necessary.All that said, it's better than a hydraulic one that leaks everywhere and eventually stops working entirely, and I can use it at my desk without overloading my office chair that's only rated to 250 lbs, which is what would happen if I used actual weights.
