This is a really good bit of kit, however, I wish that it was about 1 inch wider! It will not take my 5kg plates, only the 2.5kg ones. It will hold a max of 5 plates, but I find it too light! Maybe OK for most people though! I wish I could get my 5kg plates on - the bigger designs of this trainer are really expensive!
Good for finger exercises, due to the pulling/lifting action of it. Try it with 2 or 3 fingers! Quite a challenge.
Recommended for average strength people, no good for the big boys!!
