Pressed for time to get to the gym? Tired of fatiguing on your latest project or do you simply want your shoulders to stop aching? Well allow us to introduce the Atomik Bombs. There's a lot to be said about large muscle group and core strength training this is what we have to throw at that challenge.
The spherical/sloper shape of the hold makes these perfect to give you a fore arm burning workout. What you can expect to do on the Bombs are lock offs, typewriter, pull ups, dead hang and most importantly the ever so important core strength workouts you have to do to climb efficiently on steep walls.
There are not many training aids on the market that allow you to train "around" a hand injury, but the Bombs do. With their open hand concept design, all of your hand tendons lay ergonomically around the ball allowing you to continue to stay on top of your core and upper body strength; injured or not. Never surrender!
As for specific muscles groups, you can easily rotate your hands all the way around to where you can actually do a biceps workout.
The diameter of each Large Bomb is approximately 3.5 inches which is about the size of a regulation softball.
The diameter of each Extra Large Bomb is approximately 4.5 inches which is the size of a really big grapefruit or the mid section of a football.
The eye bolt measures 5/16" and will accommodate a climbing rated carabiner, quick link, 6mm static cord and/or chain. Chain works the best to extend the Bombs to the exact height you want them to hang. Looped and sewn webbing is the second best option. Static cord is a cost effective alternative but it poses the challenge of getting the holds to hang even. You can also use quick draws.
Common places to hang the bombs are from pull up bars, rafters, door ways and of course, everywhere you would think of putting up a hang board. They also are very cool to set boulder problems with!
Production Note: There is a horizontal seam line on this product and considered acceptable for this hold to be produced.
Sold as a set of 2.
