Attach additional rubber bands to increase resistance. Five rubber bands are included, each providing approximately 4 lbs. (1.8kg) of force.Two metal thumb screws may be adjusted to change the length of pull to best fit hand size or desired range of motion. The foam hand grip offers increased comfort. Note: The wider the hand, the greater the resistance
