So it's a handle, with a cable attached... and a carabiner at the other end so you can change out 4 different sized weights. They want $189.99 for that thing!!

I went on Amazon and found an adjustable jumprope, made of plastic coated cable ($12.99), got a carabiner at Home Depot for $4 and then used various sized lead weights from my tackle box. So I made an exact replica of that damn thing for under $20.

I should start marketing it...

Before my surgery I tried what I thought was everything. Never saw that one. Still don't know how it works despite watching the vid on the link you provided. Tried the strengthening bands, 1-5 lb free weights, TENS unit, heating pad, icebags (all of the previous items I still have and use), every arthritis cream, CBD tincture and cream and supplement to try to relieve the pain.

As for the new gear...I always applaud Yankee Ingenuity! Maybe you could be like Navin Johnson and become really wealthy!

I'm not experiencing shoulder pain, thankfully. I did have shoulder surgery back in 2014, though, and learned in physical therapy what exercises to do to strengthen the "helper" muscles.

The rotator cuff has muscles associated with it that really should be strengthened when you're lifting a lot, like I have been. People ignore them and try to do a heavy shoulder day and that's how you get hurt. I try to switch from heavy days low reps to light days high reps.

Training your deltoids (front, middle and rear) without doing something for the rotator cuff muscles is asking for injury, IMO.

Sooooo... I try to do what I can for them. This thing seems pretty effective. 4 oz weight got me tired. 10 oz weight I was really feeling it.

I need to make an ortho appointment for my shoulder, but will be getting the MRI first. Sucks, but nowhere as bad a s MV above. I think it will need to be scoped for impingement syndrome and some minor soft tissue fraying.

Don't wait, get it fixed. I waited, then ended up getting a knee replaced and BOTH shoulders done out of necessity last year. Fix it before the other one goes.

I had shoulder problems that looked like a rotator cup problem. Doctor was supposed to check with the insurance about getting an MRI. Several months later it went away and hasn't bothered me since (about 10 yrs). Never heard from the doctor.
