The History of Wrist Gear

Narcis is an innovator who conceived a one-of-a-kind original concept among wrist and ankle training gear worldwide—a wrist gear that works effectively for chest, shoulders, and arms, while truly excelling in back training.The NEW Wrist Gear was meticulously engineered based on ergonomic principles,with back training performance as the top priority.Why Is Back Training So Difficult?For many years, back training has been plagued by persistent issues such as:Grip strength reaching its limit firstExcessive fatigue in the forearms and upper armsDifficulty delivering stimulation to the intended target musclesAs a fundamental solution to these problems, the upper-arm-mounted Multi Cable Gear was developed.Although its effectiveness—delivering more direct back stimulation—has been demonstrated through electromyography (EMG) and other analyses,this training method has yet to become widely adopted.That is why Narcis set out to achieve the ultimate peak performance within the traditional wrist-gear framework,aiming for the highest possible level of back activation.A Decisive Difference from Conventional GearConventional wrist gear generally falls into the following categories:Rope-style wrist strapsHook-type strapsPower grips8-strapsWhile each offers grip assistance, hook-type designs in particular have a critical structural flaw:the palm-side grip diameter becomes excessively thick.When pulling heavy loads, it is essential to firmly grasp a bar of approximately 28 mm in diameter,and the neural feedback created through gripping plays a vital role in effective back training.However, hook-type designs compromise both grip sensation and power transmission efficiency,often preventing lifters from pulling their optimal working weight.The Key to Back Activation: The Ulnar NerveTo truly engage the back, two elements are essential:Arm pulling strength coordinated with the backIntentional grip engagement directed toward the target musclesThis entire sequence relies heavily on the ulnar nerve.During the stretched phase, slightly relaxing grip strength allows the load—normally absorbed by the arms—to be transferred more effectively to the back,resulting in deeper and more focused stimulation.Design Philosophy of the NEW Wrist Gear (Patent Pending)Developed from both theory and real-world training experience, theNEW Wrist Gear (Patent Pending) features:A thick wrist pad that minimizes pain even during long, heavy training sessionsAn extra-long Velcro wrist strap that supports heavy loads while allowing controlled grip relaxationA shaft design precisely matched to wrist-to-palm anatomy, eliminating slippage and discomfortPull Like a Hook, Train Like a StrapBy simply hooking the bar into the looped strap at the tip,the gear allows pulling with minimal grip force, similar to hook-type devices.At the same time, neural feedback is preserved by setting the shaft diameter at 26 mm,providing the ideal balance between grip sensation and nerve activation.This is not just about pulling easier—it is about maintaining the grip feel necessary to stimulate the back effectively.One Bar. Total Freedom.Grip width is fully adjustableThe strap structure enables natural rotationOverhand, neutral, and underhand grips are all supportedThere is no need to change attachments.ConclusionThis is not just another wrist gear.It is a next-generation wrist gear that offers full versatility for chest, shoulders, and arms,while being specifically engineered for serious back training.
