Meet the H3 & H4; the machines that help keep your forearm pronator and supinator muscles strong by isolating and strengthening the muscles.
Why is forearm strength important?
These muscles help to strengthen your forearms, a small, yet crucial, part of your body. Your forearms are used in many daily activities, from opening jars and containers to turning doorknobs. Strengthening your forearms can also help to reduce pain and build strength in your elbows and help to prevent wrist fractures during falls.
How the H3 & H4 work
The H3 & H4 are designed to support your wrists and strengthen your forearms safely while using the machine. The H3 rotates your palms downward, building strength in the pronator muscles of your forearm. The H4 rotates the palms upward, strengthening your supinator muscles in the forearm as well as your biceps.
How the H3 & H4 help
Adding the H3 & H4 to your training program will help strengthen your forearm muscles, making everyday activities and sports easier, such as:
- opening jar lids
- carrying groceries
- squeezing a tube of toothpaste
- holding a drink
- tennis and golf.
Technique tips
-
Ensure that the forearms are resting firmly on the outer edge of the lower arm pad and shoulders are kept in a relaxed position
-
Keep your feet flat on the floor throughout the exercise
-
Ensure that your upper body is sitting up tall
If you’d like to include the H3 & H4 in your training program, arrange a review session with one of our exercise scientists. They can add it to your program, show you how to set up the machine and make sure you’re using it correctly.
