...very strong. The design feature that enables these feats is the cuff - three flat tendons that blend together like a thick leathery hood covering a bald man's head - the head in this case being the smooth cartilage-covered ball at the top of the humerus or arm bone. The cuff's unique tendons apply muscular forces which stabilize and greatly strengthen the movement of your arm. (Remember tendons are the attachments of muscles to bone - they pull...
