The device

A mass on a stick — engineered.

Swap the mass, set the extension, and the moment arm does the work. Purpose-built for eccentric loading — measured, not guessed. Not a wearable, not a repurposed dumbbell.

How the physics works for you

Load on a tendon is about torque, not just weight. Torque is force times the length of the lever it acts on — the moment arm. Rebow is a telescopic pole with a small weighted head at the end: extend the pole and the same small mass produces more load; retract it for less. A little mass on a long arm does the work of a much heavier weight, with far more control.

Biggest moment of force from a small weight — so the load is precise and adjustable in fine steps, and the device stays light and rigid enough for the app to sense every rep.

What's in the device

Swappable mass

0.5 kg & 1 kg heads

Two interchangeable weighted heads. Combine with the extension to dial the load up or down as you progress.

Adjustable arm

Extension 0–10

A telescopic pole with marked extension increments. The setting is what turns a fixed mass into a finely tunable load.

App mount

Integral phone holder

A rigid on/off mount holds your phone as the motion sensor — so the app can pace and log each rep. See the app.

Built by an engineer, for real use

Rebow started as a tool its founder — a PhD engineer — needed and couldn't buy. Every design choice serves the loading: rigidity so the phone reads true, a clean moment datum so the numbers mean something, light enough to use twice a day without it becoming a chore.
