Hand Wrist & Forearm Training

Armbender those are some impressive forearms.

I just picked myself up a gyro power ball and it works incredible well. Try holding on to a ball whipping around at 12,000 rpms!

I may have the same problem, it gets addictive and I always want to use it.

Another Exercise I would like to add to this workout

2 Hand DB Preacher Hammer Curls.

The Db is turned on its side so you can hold the OUTSIDE of the weights. This only works with HEX DB's or RUbber DB's as the steel plated ones don't allow your hands to grab around them.

I use the rubber ones becasue it concentrates on your fingers more. Simply do a 2-hand Preacher Curl, but only holding the outside of the weight, your forced to apply pressure sideways to hold the weight in which attacks the upper part of your wrist, at the top of the rep, the weight is attacking your thumb and at the bottom of the rep, the weight is attacking your fingers...

This is an awesome exercise. I have been doing this for a couple weeks now and LOVE them....

I'm gonna have to give this a try cause the stability in my wrist suck. I always need people to stop me anytime I go slightly heavy with my dumbell bench press.

I was thinking about wrapping a bar or Db with a little handtowel to make it wider and do hammer curls or reverse grip curls

Would making it wider have a better effect?

[ShNiGG]

Very good article!

I noticed you didn't have reverse preachers in there, heavy sets of those blew my forearms up!

[RemainDieHard]

[Menark]

I almost shiit myself when I saw those forearms, very scary and very good results. Have you measured them?

This is some good advice man. Just one question, I injured my wrist doing wrist curls and I was out for a couple months, and I'm afraid to do any forearm exercises because of that. What do you think my best option would be in terms of the least bending of the wrists?

limted...its extremely easy to injury that area due to the small tendons invlolved...if anything, throw in a couple exercises maybe 2 sets, every 4th day, very slow and controlled to build up some tolerance...

WHen you were gaining forearm size, were you increasing calories and total body weight?

[Armbender]

WHen you were gaining forearm size, were you increasing calories and total body weight?

no...my weight may fluctuate a lot but never exceeds 148lbs. my diet usually stays the same unless competing at the World Arm-Wrestling Championships and have to drop calories to make weight...

[MTT]

heavy deadlifts, no straps = good forearms.
