RPG Stats by JetJocky
BACKGROUND
The G-Wrist, are one of most serious pieces of exercise equipment for the serious professional athlete. The benefits of working with resistance from weights is desired by many athletes not just body builders. G-Wrists are quite similar to wrist and ankle weights used by joggers. Instead of having the extra weight on the wrist or ankle G-wrists evenly distributes the weight all over the body. They work by producing electrical resistance directly to the muscles. Real weights are cheaper but, G-Wrist take up less space and give a full workout.

REVERSE SETTING: The G-Wrist can be set to work in reserve to cause anti gravity effects that will drastically improve the wearers speed and leap abilities. This is caused by an antigravity electrical charge. Making the wearer lighter than standard Earth like gravity. While speed is increased strength is reduced. In a few incidents some wearers have used the G-Wrist and not have their strength reduced and in fact may have had their strength increased. It is believed this effect is caused by the "mind-level" of the wearer. Using G-Wrist in reverse is dangerous. It is described as running down a slope at full speed. To use G-Wrist in reserve is Highly dangerous and physically demanding. All warranty will no longer be good and manufacturer will not be liable for injuries.
