Why I Built This
I'm Michael Kamalu — founder of Dr. Gains, where over 260,000 people follow my work on YouTube. A 100th percentile MCAT score earned me a full scholarship to the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine, where I trained for two years before leaving to build the first of three 7-figure businesses in health & fitness.
For years, the same frustrations plagued my own training, my clients', and my audience's.
- 1. There was no real way to load rotation, despite being critical for muscle growth, athletic performance, and injury prevention. Try it, and you get uneven resistance and a cable digging across your wrist.
- 2. Hammer-type training was broken. Grip stole activation and gave out before the target muscle did, with pressure points that turned heavy sets into pain management. And too-long attachments made training full range of motion impossible (usually eliminating the all-important lengthened fiber range!).
Every fix required a specialized machine or didn't exist at all. So I spent over three years, 17 prototypes, and exhaustive research designing the Gains Hammer myself — every curve, groove, and layer of it — until one attachment solved every issue.
