Stealth Triceps Blaster—thick-bar triceps handle for cable work

I was introduced to thick-handle training with IronMind's Apollon Axle, liked what I experienced and carried the thick-handle concept to the Stealth Triceps Blaster.

The desirable feel, comfort, psychological effect and mechanics of a thick handle are evident immediately. The resistance is distributed more advantageously over a broader area and the grip's strength and requirements are altered favorably. This is especially important if one's hand or wrist is injured, bruised or limited in capability. I am somewhat restricted by joint overuse from the accumulated years of battle -- rats -- and I find new freedom and improved performance with the TriBlaster.

The fullness of the handle -- two inches, compared to the common one-and-one-sixteenth bar -- alters the action of the exercise being performed: engages tris powerfully, improves muscle targeting, requires less weight (translates as less overload on joints: wrist, elbow or shoulder) to achieve a maximum muscle intensity and is easy on hands. It's in the physics of thickness.

The TriBlaster has a roughened finish, not knurled, just a textured powder-coat finish for better grip if your hands get sweaty. Fits hands of all sizes.
