Torque Ring
Setup, Tips & Tricks
Hi, everybody!
This page contains a bunch of useful tips and tricks to get the most out of your Torque Ring, so bookmark this page as a reference! I’ll update it from time to time as I discover new hacks.
Warning!
Please do not leave your device sitting in an excessively hot environment for an extended period, e.g. the dashboard of your car on a hot day or outside in direct sunlight for hours — it could soften and warp. This is one of the trade-offs of using a compostable polymer; it's extremely strong, but it’s not a imperious “forever plastic.”
What you get in the box…
Torque Ring
Carabiner
Lifting strap (as of late February 2026)
Microfiber carrying bag (as of mid February 2026)
Getting starting…
Simply attach the carabiner to the rope loop (if it isn’t already) and you’re ready to go!

Useful things to know…
For a bunch of the information below, I’ll include links (underlined and bolded) to quick video clips and/or photos so you have a visual reference. You can also find them all in this Google Drive folder in case the links don’t work properly.

(Tape on each one for a video example.)
Ulnar deviation (can be done in isolation or combined with something like tricep extensions on a cable machine)
Radial deviation (can be done in isolation or combined with something like hammer curls)

As you get to higher weights, you may find that supination places a lot of load on your thumb (it has to bear a lot of the weight).
To fix this, use a lifting strap. Lifting straps are cheap and widely available in gyms or on Amazon.
As of late February 2026, all Torque Ring orders will come with a lifting strap.
Here is a video demonstration: Video example 1 (supination)
Put it on so the long end is on the top-side of your hand, thread the strap between your thumb and index finger, then under the handle, then back around and under your palm. Pull it as tight as you can and it'll take all the weight off your thumb!

Where you grip the handle changes the leverage throughout the movement. The most important thing is to grip the device in the position that feels best to you. However...
For pronation/supination, gripping at the *opposite* end of where the rope exitsmakes the *beginning* of the motion harder and the *end* easier (as opposed to gripping close to the rope exit). This is usually a good thing, as the end of the motion is the "shortened" position for the muscles, which tends to be much harder, which tends to reduce your range of motion. So, if in doubt, grip the device at the furthest point from where the rope exits. Jason explains this here.
For ulnar/radial deviation, again your hand position on the grip will make a big difference in the leverage on your wrist, so just keep that in mind and use it for adjusting intensity if needed.

One of the huge benefits of the Torque products is that they allow you to use virtually any form of resistance.
A loading pin is typically my favorite because it's easy to adjust in small increments (2.5 lb, 1 lb, or even 0.5 lb plates are often available). This is particularly nice for wrist exercises since most people will be working with relatively little weight.
Of course, you could also use dumbbells, kettlebells, a cable machine, or heck even a gallon of water!
-
For pronation and supination, you should typically perform them *unsupported* if possible, meaning you're not resting your forearm on a bench or bar.
