Its All In The Wrist
If you play tennis you have probably heard this saying a thousand times.
Well it’s not exactly all in the wrist but but strengthening of the lower arms including the forearms, wrist flexors, grip flexors and all the tendons and ligaments that tie everything together will have a profound effect on your game.
There is only one proven way to accomplish this and that is through resistance training
Today’s tennis player knows that a tennis specific resistance training program will greatly benefit their game.
The E-Flex Forearm Bar uses steadfast principles of leverage for more effective forearm and wrist strength training. Leverage equipment has the distinct advantage of requiring less weight while positioning the targeted muscles in the “right zone” for optimal muscle involvement.

Reverse Wrist Curl - Targets the
Forearms and Grip Flexors.

Truth: Resistance training specific for tennis will not result in muscle gain that will alter your swing mechanics. Increasing muscle size involves lifting increasingly heavier weights with lower repetitions, dramatically increasing your calorie and protein intake and spending one to two hours per day lifting weights. A tennis-specific conditioning program incorporates moderate weight, with high (12-15) repetitions . This type of program is designed to improve your strength and endurance.
Myth: "I will lose flexibility if I lift weights."
Truth: In fact, the opposite is true! Weak muscles are tight muscles that are prone to injury. With resistance training, you are increasing blood flow, working through a functional range of motion that will improve flexibility, not hinder it.
The E-Flex Forearm Bar Front Raise is great for developing the deep muscles of the shoulder and their tendons, which connect the arm to the shoulder joint, encircle it, and provide strength and stability while permitting rotation of the arm. This is essential to overall arm strength and preventing rotator cuff injury.
The E-Flex Forearm Bar is also a great apparatus for strengthening of the biceps, triceps, shoulders
and rotator cuff muscles
All essential to overall arm strength development and injury prevention.
The biceps curl is the definitive exercise for strengthening the upper arms.
It is a popular misconception that you have to go heavy for this exercise.
In fact the opposite is true.
The biceps are made up of two relatively small muscles and when you go heavy with a biceps curl rocking or bouncing of the weight is inevetible, this engages other muscle groups such as the lower back and shoulders. and does little to actually target the biceps
To properly train and strengthen the biceps you must isolate them using a moderate weight and strict technique.
This is precisely what the E- Flex forearm bar is designed to do.

The reverse biceps curl targets the outer head of the biceps with secondary emphasis on the forearms and triceps.
The ergonomics and leverage mechanics incorporated into the E-Flex Forearm Bar allow you to use less weight with far superior results than with barbells or dumbbells .
* Tennis Elbow or Elbow Tendonitis is a condition caused by small tears in the tendon that connect to the elbow. This is associated with repeated stress or shock to the joint such as that created when striking a tennis ball.
Strengthening of the surrounding muscles and tendons can prevent or stop this condition from recurring
* Always consult with your physician or health care professional before starting any rehab program.
