hey everyone this is Jimmy with Jim's review room today we're looking at one of the most underrated tools you can have in your home or even at the gym now specifically this product but have wheels in general now I reviewed the golden gym and will very simple and price at just ten dollars the AB cover from perfect and today I'm testing the Iron Gym speed ABS now I personally paid twenty nine dollars for this and you're right it's really on the pricey side for an AB wheel considering you can use a barbell and a small weighted plate but considering that many people have those in their own homes this might be worth it so without further ado welcome to Jim's review before starting the review one way to measure your core strength is attempting to do a plank as long as you can extend your legs and keep your body straight with elbows bent at about 90 degrees and hold that position now per fitness magazines and health websites the average is about a minute above that you're doing really great and two minutes or more you're just an animal and obviously you're watching this give it a try yourself and post your times below in the comment section really curious to see what everyone's getting now for me I was not able to beat my time from the last video and was able to get around that three and a half minute mark once again a great number in my opinion but I was god I was dying and sore at the end there but what's great about AB wheels and getting back on topic here they work and strengthen your core a vital muscle group that helps with everyday movements like something simple as opening a jar to improving your deadlift posture in the gym now these AB wheels in general will not get you ripped but it will improve your stability in some of the lower abs more notably in the middle and upper ab areas including your side ABS and serratus muscles as well now compound movements are also conducted with your arms being used in legs balancing your body but the area you'll be most sortin definitely are the abs as shown in the introduction these handles are detachable as well and removed with a quick release button the handle themselves are wide and offers slight grip for an additional sense of security but when compared to the ab cover the competition is indeed just plastic with no rubber grips but felt as though the handle was lighter and also more contoured the iron Jim still felt very good in the hands but the perfect brain offered slightly more stability now you won't be able to tell the difference unless you tried both yourself but again the iron Jim is perfectly fine now this thing looks and feels more rugged than what the pictures show it's a nice fat rubber tire right down the middle with tons of grip looking nearly identical to a motorcycle tire but as the warning label states it's only to be used on non-slip surfaces and the warning label states it's only to be used for those who are 299 pounds or less and from my experience and testing this worked out very well and it feels to work better than the ab cover now inside the wheel itself these Springs that winds up and provides slight resistance when going down or forward here when you go back up the springs actually attempt to uncoil themselves and in turn provides very slight or subtle assistance again when going back up but from real-world testing just like the AB Carver I didn't feel any assistance at all and it felt identical when I went down as it was when going back up but the iron gym in my opinion just feels a slightly more rugged and solid in general the way the Coles wound up inside and whatnot but while performing these exercises I can feel my hamstrings attempting to keep my body balanced my entire abdominal area tightening in my forearms and triceps stiffening to stay balanced now there's several other exercises you can perform with an AB wheel by being a little bit more creative here here's one very simple alternative just by going side to side it really works your serratus muscles very well offering a lot of stretching and balancing on those muscle groups now the following morning I did feel it also on the side ABS as well as being very sore so overall it's very well built in my opinion slightly better than the competition from my experience feels more solid more grip on the rubber but I'll mitt the amp covers handles were wider and just molded to the hand a bit better despite them being all plastic now either or you can't go wrong with either one and this ad will does work it works well now compared to those super cheap models around ten dollars or so just like the Gold's Gym AB will those work perfectly fine but if you want a little bit more stability and better grips less strain on the wrist as these are more contoured these are the way to go there's definitely a market out there for these more expensive designs so hope this video helped you in some way if you like my work add me gyms review and to Facebook Twitter Instagram or Google+ as I normally post updates on items I'm currently testing actually before and put them on the website again this is Jimmy with Jim's review room you guys take care and I'll see you in the next one
