The Weider ‘Double Tension’ Krusher

Posted on Friday, August 22nd, 2014 by John Wood

Didn’t everyone have one of these (or something like it) as a kid? According to the ad:

“This exerciser is SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED to quickly develop the powerful crushing muscles of the arms, chest, shoulders, back, grip and legs which ordinary apparatus does not reach. The secret is ‘short range’ action, an amazing muscle building principle which concentrates exercise tension in short movements, forcing new growth, power and muscularity into the body. Results are so dramatic that they can be seen in a few days. The patented ‘variable tension’ feature allows you to interchange springs and to set the exercise resistance at a strength which suits you best.”

Better start saving your allowances and paper route money now…
