Two 1-1/2 Inch Chrome Steel Bearing Balls G25

These were made into monkey fists that had a six foot four strand paracord braid attached. That makes it an awesome defense weapon.

As described

I’ve always wondered what in the world people use these for. Well, I use them as weights for exercise. I found that the 1 1/2” diameter balls, which weigh 1/2 lb. each, are a good size to start with. The 1 1/2” diameter fits easily in the hands and is comfortable to hold for extended periods. While 1/2 lb. doesn’t sound like much, the balls are incredibly dense since they’re made out of steel. So they feel a lot heavier than they weigh. Holding them in your hands for an extended period while doing motions that involve arm swings is quite a workout. The first time I used them for running and walking with arm pumps, my lats were sore for two days. I also use them for other aerobic exercises and during warm-ups to get my heart beating a little faster. There are lots of other weighted items you can hold during exercise, such as barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, wrist weights, hand weights, steel clubs, steel maces, medicine balls, and sandbags. Each has a different weight distribution and requires different grip dynamics, and therefore activates different muscles. For fast movements where you hold the weights in one hand, I prefer something that’s small, easy to hold, and dense. I’ve tried the lightweight rubber or plastic balls you hold in one hand, but found they’re too large to hold comfortably for long. Wrist weights don’t strengthen your grip and they can slide on your arm, which can disrupt your movement and cause skin irritation. Fast movements with dumbbells can put a lot of stress on your wrists, but the ones with hand straps (like the old heavy hands ones) work pretty well for things like running and walking. For safety, you need to keep a firm grip on these while exercising. If they fell on your foot or were flung out of your hand and hit something delicate like a TV, they could do real damage. Also, if you have skin that’s sensitive (either to metal or to holding something very hard), you might consider wearing very light exercise gloves. I use Spacepower gloves, which are light and inexpensive and provide all the padding I need for these.

Despite taking a long time to get them, I love my balls of steel! They arrived with no damage or rust in a neat little ball-sack holding them together. One thing to note after holding my balls of steel for awhile and rolling them around they make my hands smell bad. I havent weighed my balls but they feel very heavy which my wife and I really enjoy.

Son de material sólido, pesadas, y de tamaño ideal para relajarte.

Very nice bearings. Used them to make paracord monkey fists.

They are steel balls ,heavy (which is what I needed),Round (as advertised).so if your in the market for heavy round balls ID recommend these.

Great product, and item came as described. Would recommend to others.

Great item true relief stress and tension these things are powerful will be ordering the bigger 3-in 4-in and 5 in bearings. Perfect quality bearings and nice weight. Would like them to be stainless either 440 or 304 stainless would be perfect but price would become a huge factor at the point.

Wow!! I needed these for physical therapy. They were the correct size, not the correct weight....haha way too heavy. I kept them but I dont what they are used for.
