How does this help with wrist strength for barre chords? I injured my wrist and it fatigues easily from playing barre chords. Will this device help?

I have not had a wrist injury, but I can say that if I hold it in a similar position to how I would hold a bar chord, I can feel the muscles in my hand and wrist working.

I've been using this device for about 3 months now and it has really improved the strength in my wrists as well as my fingers. I broke my little finger 12 years ago and i was unable to apply any pressure on the strings with it and my wrist would fatigue quickly but since I've been using this device it has really helped!

sorry I don't know since I don't have carpal tunnel. My doctor thought it might be due to a bone chip and he said to try it. It does help the pain that I sometimes I have when I flex my wrist. Hope this helps.

YES!! The exerciser's buttons tension are individually adjustable. I can't say enough about the benefits of this. It helps finger, hand & forearm strength. Also helps build calluses. It will work left or right handed. I use it with my left hand also, to improve speed & dexterity on my fingers(I play Bass). I have seen dramatic improvement in hand strength. I use it EVERY day!! Good Luck to your little musician. Joe

I bought this for my elderly sister. She has arthritic hands and she told me she LOVES it. I have not used it myself, but I would definitely buy myself one on the strength of her recommendation. I hope this helps you.

Here is my question? Does this work really well? I am having all kinds of issues w/ my wireless connection signal strenght says 100% but my bars fluctuate so I was thinking about purchasing this to see if this stablizes anything.

Ruben, they certainly have the potential to reduce wrist pain -- in using these such bars, the weight will be on your forearms as opposed to your hands. Make sure, too, that your saddle is properly adjusted -- ideally, your bodyweight will be distributed between your hands/arms, your saddle, and your feet. If your saddle is too high (or is angled forward), it may be that too much of your bodyweight is pressing into your hands. If you are buying these solely because of wrist pain, they very well may help -- but I personally would first make sure that your saddle is adjusted correctly :)

Your wrist is completely immobile. I don't see it as a daily wrist brace but I suppose it can be used depending on your daily activities. Remember it is a splint. Not exactly a brace.

it does for a co worker of mine, its the only way he can do pushups. I like this because its portable, and your adjust in mid extension if you feel discomfort. But I would test out the wrist pain issue with a couple regular dumbbells at the gym first, that way you dont spend the money if you dont have to. But it does allow your wrists to stay straight during all movement. You could always wrap your wrists too like a boxer for added support during it.

No mouse can help with that. It's about proper wrist support. If you're having trouble, try various ways to support your wrist so it isn't so bent. You can develop carpal tunnel syndrome and that isn't good... once you get that, it can be tough to recover. Sometimes, surgery is required.

This was given to my dad. He wears it about every two weeks for a few hours. During the day. He seems to like the results of it. But he has carpal tunnel in the wrist. So from what he says it just a control of pain. Hope that helps.

P.S. But the device is excellent and restored my wrist and shoulder which experienced a lot of pain before I started using this, which is much more important!

Sorry don't know. i use it for ankle weights. But i doubt it as it would interfere with wrist movement.

I don't know about balance - I practice Yoga and my balance has always been fairly good. The the Trion:Z wrist bracelet has definitely helped with fatigue. Hope this helps.

Hi, I don´t have serious problems with wrist pains at all. Nevertheless doing pushups without the V2´s creates an uncomfortable feeling in my wrists and they feel a bit "stiff" afterwards. With the V2´s that is much better. So I don´t know, whether the V2 can reduce your wrist pain after the exercise but I could imagine that they will. A good test could be doing bench press with heavy dump-bell´s (similar effect like pushups with the V2). If you have less/no pain during/after the bench press execise in contrast to doing regular pushups I could imagine the V2 will help. Otherwise I doubt. Hope that helps a bit ;-) Hi, I don´t have serious problems with wrist pains at all.

Scott, I am a guitarist who uses the Varigrip to build finger and forearm strength but I think it would be very useful for a trumpet player developing finger mobility/dexterity. Set it at the lowest tension and run similar finger exercises as if you were practicing scales or tunes. Great for off hours and saves your chops for the important moments.

Yes,, but you as a beginner, will probably not see a huge difference. Practice and improved technique will produce clean barre chords. Keep practicing, and in a few weeks, you will see that instead of using a death grip that hurts your left hand, your left hand and index finger will learn to vary pressure and position depending on which strings are critical to a particular chord.
