Meet BackBells™—the world's first Long Loading Resistance system. The patented palm-braced design that aligns your posture and takes the torque off your wrists.
Launching soon on Kickstarter. Join the VIP list for Day 1 pricing.
Palm-Braced & Forearm-Aligned
Standard weights rely on Short Loading. BackBells changes the physics.
The weight hangs off your hand, creating a short lever that strains your wrist and fatigues your grip before your major muscles get a real workout.
Braced in the palm and aligned lengthwise with the forearm. The load extends through your arm directly into your shoulder, back, and trunk.
The handle rests against the palm and contacts the forearm, reducing the "dangling weight" feel and minimizing off-axis twisting.
The weight sits "in front of the fist," aligning naturally with your arm bones for long-lever movements without wrist pain.
The enclosed weight case creates a compact, streamlined form that is safer and easier to control than loose plates.
| Feature | Short Loading (Dumbbells) |
Long Loading (BackBells) |
|---|---|---|
| Where the load sits | Hanging off the hand | Braced in palm & forearm |
| Wrist Stress | High (fighting gravity) | Low (neutral alignment) |
| Core Engagement | Optional | Automatic |
| Primary Feeling | Grip fatigue & strain | Full-body connection |
| Best For | Isolating muscles | Movement & Posture |
Because the load is extended, your back and hips must engage to stabilize the weight. It’s "posture training" built into every rep.
Stop fighting awkward wrist angles. The forearm brace reduces shear force and torque, letting you focus on the movement, not the discomfort.
Long Loading increases the lever arm. You get a higher stabilization demand on your muscles with lower absolute weight on your joints.
