My husband knows that I, as a visual creature, demand that he maintains his jock figure. He knows that if he were to let himself go after these 33 years, I would be forced to find some other arm candy, some other hot strapping hunk, to be my boy toy. So accordingly, he was very happy when I got him this contraption. He grunts and makes animal faces while he's using it and his back and chest sweat so I think its doing what its supposed to. I tried to bend it and both of my arms exploded, literally exploded, right out of my shoulder socket and it felt like I was trying to bend a car so I can't even pretend to be able to review it except as an observer. In all seriousness, my hubby and the kids are carrying the family in the looks department right now because of this one sided love affair the fat cells in my body are having with Caramel Cone ice cream, we look like the letter B or the number 13 standing next to each other) but I give it five stars and highly recommend it since, in the short time he's been using it, his chest looks so much bigger. So if you are looks-based like me and require perfection in your man, get him one of these things!

I'm a regular guy that needs to move around more. With that in mind, I've been wanting to inject small opportunities for fitness into my life. Maybe some leg raises while sitting on the couch or a grip trainer while doing...I don't know...something else. You get the point. So, the JAOTREL Power Twister Bar caught my eye, and honestly, the first thing I imagined was knocking my own teeth out with it or accidentally flinging it end over end through my TV. So, of course, I had to try it.The first thing I noticed when opening the box was the fact that it arrives in two pieces. The second thing I noticed were some safety loops at the end of each handle. I didn't realize the bar had such a feature (despite the straps appearing in pictures of the bar). So, no flinging the bar across the living room or into my own face. So far, so good.As for the two pieces, some assembly required, but not to worry...the two pieces screw together easily. The thread appears fairly fine and there's probably an inch of it, so once you get the pieces screwed together there's no need to worry about them coming apart. At first, I wasn't impressed with the need to combine pieces of the bar, but upon reflection I decided I liked it. The handle that screws on can be removed again and this makes the bar more portable than it would have been as a solid piece.With the bar properly assembled and my hands securely strapped in, I found the simple act of bending the bar to be rather satisfying. I mean, your mileage may vary, but there's something more visceral about bending something than lifting a dumbbell. I've found that I enjoy using the bar throughout my evening...knocking out reps and small sets while watching TV.I don't expect this bar to turn me into a rare specimen of the male form. But I'm pleased to find that I can leave this lying around my house or carry it to work and spontaneously pump out a few sets. It makes adding some extra movement to my life fun.Now I just have to deal with being sore in places that haven't hurt in a long time.Cheers.

First, this is not going to replace a gym ! It's also not going to replace a bunch of other types of gym equipment and is better suited as an additional piece of equipment for some isolation type exercises. This gets you beyond an isometric type of exercise but is a rather short range of motion. Holding the handles close-in or toward the end changes the range of the motion and forces involved. It's the same spring no matter where you grip the handles, but you can modify the leverage.I travel a lot and have a set of resistance bands that pack easily. This weighs 2 lb 12 oz and it doesn't take up much room, so it now travels with me also for some semi-isometrics that are not well suited to resistance bands.I'm not quite sure how they are rating the force on these. I have the 88 lb version. With one end clamped in a vice and the other end attached to force gauge, it takes 10 lbs of pull to bend it 90 degrees (thats 1/2 way) at the far end of the handle. At the close-in endside of the rubber handle its about 16 lbs. As you might guess, in the center of the rubber handle is about 13 lbs. That's on ONE SIDE. Fully "flexed" to 180 degrees, its about 22 lbs but again that's on ONE SIDE; the vice is applying an opposite 22 lbs to hold it in place like your other hand would normally be doing. Take those numbers for what they are. I am just pointing this out because I really don't know how to compare "resistive" weights that people are familiar with to variable-resistance mechanisms like this.5 stars for the overall construction and that's what I am rating here. As far as being an extremely versatile piece of excessive equipment ... not so many stars. It can fill a gap, but it's limited to some semi-specific movements and areas.

I got the 66-lb version and it is very easy to flex. I should have gone with a stronger rated spring.After using it for several days of a mix of isometric and repetition exercises, it has developed a permanent (albeit slight) bend in the spring. The is somewhat disconcerting given the short time I've been using it. Additionally, I would have liked to have pins or some other mechanism to hold the handles instead of just a screw end as most exercises involved with this equipment involve twisting and the handle will unscrew slightly sometimes - easy enough to screw it back in, but I'd rather focus on my movements than my equipment. 3*
