Strengthening Basketball Hands I

A basketball players worst nightmare is a sprained thumb or wrist. Anytime the term sprain is used it is used to describe small connective tissue tears. This kind of thing is prevalent with hyperextenion injuries since the range of motion is increased too much. The binding connective tissues try their best to keep the joint in place but some forces prove too strong hence the sprain.

Before you experience the Thumb or Wrist, I advise you to strengthen your thumbs, fingers, and wrists. Intelligent lower arm training provides emphasis on rotations/movements that the subject is particularly weak. For example; extension is weak in comparison to flexion. For this remedy I recommend The Formulator which is apparantly no longer made nor sold. Either way, a tremendous device that is sound in structure and function capacity. IF you don't own one, you can use a wrist roller and still experience outstanding results.
