On the topic of forearm training, For those of you who were interested before I do still plan on committing to rice bucket training and making a video!
Back when my dad was still interested in working out, he would regularly do rice bucket pierces, which is where he would "pierce" the rice bucket with his fingers. Just thought it would be interesting to share, and I do think it added some thickness to his fingers as well.
I am suffering from golfer’s elbow after about a month of sandbag training, and it is prohibiting me from doing any kind of pulling work. My PT guy has me doing forearm work to try and help, but so far no joy. I am going to have to add these moves to my therapy. It is good to know that your tendinitis has gone away with your forearm training.
Hey sorry to hear that, I've noticed if I do too much volume lifting the sandbag slowly from a horizontal position it can mess with my elbow a bit too. When I throw it and rely mostly on my hips I'm fine, but when it's extra heavy and the arms really work in that overhand position it can cause issues for me at least. I hope the band stuff helps! It's been really cool doing overhand pullups pain free again
The quality of your videos is steadily getting better, your channel and your advice/knowledge is hella underrated. you convinced me to start sandbag training and after 2 years of lifting it’s the best thing that i started doing. Also your book is awesome im gonna compete in strongman and its helped me a lot.
Hey thank you so much! I'm working a lot on improving my skill talking to the camera :) So glad you're enjoying the sandbag training and thank you for getting the book!! Do you have a comp lined up or planning for the future??
When my grip became a limiting factor in my quest to get good at pullups, I also found forearm training via arm wrestler methods. Since then it's become one of my favorite things to do. I've heard it said your hands are what connect you to the world, and I've definitely felt that to be true. You can transmit so much more of your body's power when the muscles and tendons in our forearms are stronger. Not many other things have made me feel like I can just do more things than knowing I can grab, lift, hold, or even punch without worry of my fingers of wrists giving out.
Such a great point! It really helps everything else so much. I've found even doing a couple intense reps with some kind of grip work before any kind of heavy lifting makes me feel much stronger, like waking up the grip gets you ready to lift some weight!
I need to incorporate this daily to see if it helps my crappy elbow on the right side. Doesn’t affect my presses thank god lol. Direct forearm training is always a must if you want them truly jacked and freaky. They’re probably the most complex muscle in terms of all the different little muscles turning and twisting etc in different ways, controlling the hands many fine movements. Definitely the most important muscle for overall bad assery in the real world.
I have been wanting to try arm wrestling training for a while. This video is a nice starting point for that is suppose. One thing that has worked really well for me when it comes to forearm development is tightening and loosening really tight screws, nuts and bolts.
For sure this is definitely as entry level as it gets I'd say, perfect for a lifter like me who isn't currently looking to get into the actual sport :) That sounds like a great way to do it too, high tension and a lot of strain!
Never thought about using the bands for forearm training. I use a white karate belt and some 5 lb- 10 lb plates and do a few reps with those. Something about the rice bucket training. The rice is going to absorb and dry the f* out the moisture of your hands. Remember to put some hydrating lotion after washing your hands. I believe in using sand instead of rice, but that's my preference. *Now that I watch The Stone Circle T-shirt, surely does sound like a sick melodic death metal type of band name. Godspeed brother and thanks for the inputs.
It seems like most of the actual arm wrestler guys prefer the belt too! I used the bands just because I have them but I've worked a bit in the past using some cloth around weight plates and it made for a really good training session :) I tried using sand the first day and it ripped the underside of my nails from the skin, it was brutal haha do you have any recommendations for getting around that? Someone commented recently apparently there is actually a metal band called stone circle band haha
In that regard, large size rice will be less of a hassle, for the underside nail situation. If it's strength and muscle, then the rice bucket is good to go, a very useful and cheap tool, definitely. Just remember to hydrate the hands after training (trust me in that :/ ). Sand strengthen the skin of the hands, it has been used in what is called "iron hand training" or "iron fist training". It takes time to get used to. Short 10 - 15 minutes sessions, one day on, two days off for the first 2 to 3 weeks, is a good start, if you or anyone can tolerate the friction and grind. Slow and gentle is the key. If it's grip, squeeze the sand as if it owes you money. Then you, may increase to one day on and one day off 15 - 30 minutes sessions. Strikes and grips are the key in hand conditioning. There are a few videos on iron fist exercises on UA-cam. Now, one last thing. If you want to embark into the striking, then get some of the Chinese pain and inflammation reliever called Dit Da Jow. You'll need it. I hope that helps. As always looking forward for your videos. Godspeed.
pizza and a friday forearm video, very solid!! the insight into Tendinitis rehab and/or prehab is such a valuable piece, linked to training and longevity 💪
I love the ending sentiment and it’s how I feel about everything - who gives a f why it works, just that it does is all that matters. Less time theorising more time exercising lol.
Bro get out of my head. I added dead hangs and fingertip pushups after the neck training on calisthenics days to work my grip and here you come with this video. I want to work up to a single arm hang off of a towel
Fingertip pushups are so much harder than they seem like they should be haha, always catch me off guard! Single arm hang from a towel sounds like a guarantee for massive forearms!!
This is what I been waiting for my friend! Also the muscle growth will slow considerably but the real secret to the power armwrestlers gain is in the tendons. That’s where the heavy singles come in it’s like hidden power it’s awesome
This is great Cody! Going to guve these a try. Its funny, I also noticed the most forearm growth by just doing lightweight, high rep work at home. Creating as much pump as possible. Recently I've been doing these kettlebell "rotationsl curls" (no ide ehat they're called. You sit next to a bench with your arm flat n the bench gripping a kettlebell abd twist it from one side to the other. Low weight, high rep. Feels really good at the end of a pull session.
That sounds like an awesome exercise! Kettlebells seem so good for stuff where you can take advantage of that leverage for more of a challenge. It's kinda crazy how well the high rep stuff works haha, typing this I looked down and remembered, Oh yeah there's the pump, still there!
8:07, 8:38 -Wrist Flexion/Curls 8:20, 8:42 -Wrist Extension 8:45 -Wrist Abduction 8:52 -Wrist Pronation Now all we need is a StoneCircle demonstration of Wrist Adduction (the opposite of Abduction) and a demonstration of Wrist Supination (the opposite of pronation). I'm kind of joking with the "need" part. I just thought adding a note might be helpful to somebody. :)
I've always used wrist rollers for forearm training. Using different girths, different poundages, different tempos, different grips (including thumbless), and even a little Forearm Occlusion Training (extreme soreness), has yeilded me some very good forearm development. One thing I really love about wrist-rollers is that when I am approaching failure I can go right into wrist curls or extensions (depending on whether my grip is supinated or pronated) as a sort-of drop set. #FreakyForearmGainz
I’ve been watching your channel for several month’s now and I finally bought your book. (loved it) I retired back in 2020 and since then I’ve kinda had time to go on my own exercise journey. I started out doing the X3 band program for a few years. I’ve had great strength gains with that program. In the fall of 2023 I started doing burpees and all of 2024 I’ve really been hitting the burpees and loving them. In the summer and fall of 2024 I started adding a 100lbs sandbag with sandbag to shoulder and carries. Of course I was watching your channel. In December I bought a 150lbs sandbag. So after reading your book and watching your channel I feel very motivated to go all in on a sandbag training program this year. I’ll definitely be watching your channel and soaking up your advice and motivation on this journey. I’m going to start with your 1st program in your book.
Thanks for the video. Band training for the wrists and forearms is such a good idea in a 'Why didn't I think of that' kind of way. One of the strongest guys I ever met used to swear by 50-100 rep sets of wrist curls with an empty Oly bar. I have had good results from swinging a heavy club for high reps, along with finger extensions with those little looped bands.
If I had to guess, forearms are kinda like calves and abs: they work a lot in human body. So your regular training, despite being quite much compared to normal people, just might not keep the forearms that puffy. Like forearms don't need a long time to rest, maybe less than 30 seconds and you already feel like you can do a somewhat productive set again. The extra volume on isolated and specific training on the other hand. I would in my head compare it to spending a couple of weeks just resting. You start looking flat and not very defined all over the body. And as you hit the gym after that break, you look like you went through a transformation just because everything is pumped and the body woke up to the idea of "oh we are working again, better put resources there". I would make a guess that the same thing happens within a shorter time frame with forearms (and some of those other muscles that are used to working a lot). I'd also wage that it's perfectly reasonable that it adds size. You have other forearm taxing training in your life (in fact plenty of it) and now you're adding a ton of extra volume. Sure it's not until failure and sure it's not "the optimal" range, but it still trains a specific movement pattern under load and reps. We do know, at least to my understanding it is fairly solid claim, that the other mechanics for growth such as metabolic stress could be at work. And different tissues in different people might respond differently to training. It's not that short length partials and sub-maximal training doesn't grow muscle, it's just not as effective in many of the key focus muscles (like quads that do heavy work but less of it). Perhaps favouring the more endurance based work is also the source for feeling better in exercises, perhaps it's the fatigue resistance in the forearms that helps keeping pieces in the body in alignments they should be in. Personally I noticed that minimalistic strength training, as in one top single and perhaps a set of three or two sets of three in squats also produced noticeable quad growth. It shouldn't have much hypertrophic effect due to the very limited volume, although of course some. But I also do judo. I wouldn't call it exactly quad training even though you do have to do squat pattern and lift humans. However the combined volume is quite a bit. And we do know volume does play a significant role in hypertrophy. We can observe people doing some sort of specific physical work in sub maximal loads and grow noticeably over time. I feel like it's reasonable to say that doing forearm specific training with big volume on top of other training did the magic. Perhaps your forearms were also quite adapted to the training effects your other training can provide already. I might try something like this myself, I had the same pushup issue constantly some years ago and in heavy benching as well, sometimes had an electric jolt down the forearm or just wrist pain. Even today I feel a difference in the grip between left and right hand when I grip the barbell in any exercise.
That's a great way of looking at it I can definitely see that being the case! It's always so sad when the wrist pain creeps in out of nowhere haha, glad to know this is here in case it ever happens again
Good stuff man. I’ve been watching arm wrestling videos too specially with Brian Shaw dipping his toes into it. Been feeling elbow pain recently too, might have to give this a try! 💪💪
I'd say armwrestling training is something that gives you results really quickly. The adaptations of this sport is faster than any other as far from what I have seen. Your arms get stuff, everything becomes rigid quite fast if you don't strech your hands so that's very important.
I would suggest that you really look into and try macebell work, in particular 360 degree swings and other macebell workouts. I found that the single biggest limitation with these exercises is my wrist and forearm strength. Even with a light (15 lbs) mace bell, 360 degree swings require you to use your forearms and fingers to control the top mass of the macebell. Whether you use one or two hands, the challenge is to control the mass and it takes real effort to do so. I ALWAYS get a big pump in my forearm muscles after macebell swings and similar exercises and usually cannot type for 10-15 minutes afterward due to the exhausting of the relevant muscle groups that we use to manipulate our fingers.
You’re much more active and experienced in training than I am - meaning that is me stating my point respectfully From my own experience: weak or too flexible wrist or shoulder basically imbalance even shoulder pain due to long sitting and an office job The best thing I tried were and still are the oldschool expander and indian clubs or the heavier club bells Especially the club bell although there is no miracle equipment technique etc but my shoulder pain is mostly gone and you train the whole body in a unit

Guys who use their hands professionally have long had the best hands and forearms, it makes sense that they would respond to ultra-high volume as that is what is required of them. In the same vein as Calf training moving from a "workout" mindset to a "lifestyle" mindset will likely make the biggest difference. I started doing "cupping" work 3 times a week and my flexors have exploded, I cant imagine what sort of progress I could make if I dedicated time like the guys who compete.
For sure those mechanic forearms are crazy! I think you're definitely right, a lifestyle where constant use of the forearm muscles is required seems like the ultimate way to go
@@thestonecircle a buddy of mine has been a machinist for 30 years and I can hardly shake his hand its so solid and thick; he is probably pushing near a million reps and it shows.

Damn I need to hit the bucket, it’s just sitting there neglected lol. Still no mould or anything haha, I remember that was a concern of yours.
My daughter bought me a 200lb sandbag. Man do those things beat you up. I think I enjoy them more than barbells
Awesome!! I like barbells too but something about sandbag lifting is so great 🙂
babe wake up! the stone circle uploaded a new video!!
:D time for some forearm gains!

From my own experience:
weak or too flexible wrist or shoulder basically imbalance even shoulder pain due to long sitting and an office job

Especially the club bell although there is no miracle equipment technique etc but my shoulder pain is mostly gone and you train the whole body in a unit

I started doing "cupping" work 3 times a week and my flexors have exploded, I cant imagine what sort of progress I could make if I dedicated time like the guys who compete.
For sure those mechanic forearms are crazy! I think you're definitely right, a lifestyle where constant use of the forearm muscles is required seems like the ultimate way to go
@@thestonecircle a buddy of mine has been a machinist for 30 years and I can hardly shake his hand its so solid and thick; he is probably pushing near a million reps and it shows.
@@bobnewkirk7003 that's so badass!! I don't know what it is but I swear muscle/strength built by doing non gym related things is just so cool
