I'm a girl, but I had a stroke when I was born and I use my let hand for EVERYTHING. So thx, I will add this to my routine
What da dog doin
You use your left hand for everything as a girl hmm, 😍
@@oscarbear7498you’re weird
@@Cornbrudd you and my therapist can both fk off, I'm not weird!!
@@oscarbear7498 bro tf is wrong with you
If you want sick forearms become an electrician. Those guys are using screwdrivers all day and have forearms like lemons!
Why though? This is so freaking TRUE!!
They must use their bellies as well
Carpenters, sailors, miners, heck! anyone who does a manual job. Why do you think Popeye had forearms like that?
Wow bro u to accurate my dad and uncles are electricians 20 years plus and they have amazing forearms and I've never seen them pick up a hand grip
Auto mechanics too lol
I have been looking to build my grip and forearms. These look like the added exercises that I need. Thank You.
Thumbless reverse curls BLEW UP my forearms. Personally I do all of these besides the wrist curl because my forearms are pretty big from baseball in college (plus I don't use wraps except for PR's) and they have all yielded amazing results. Sal.... you are my spirit animal.
Fresh M3 I want to try that one too
I haven't done thumbless reverse curls yet, but I believe you and echo what you're saying because this is happening to me with thumbless pullups.
I've found splitting a symmetrical workout out in half (ie doing a curl or shoulder press one arm at a time) while holding a lighter weight in your off hand for a drop set, then holding the higher weight while I finish with the lighter set to be a great way to help work my grip strength and endurance while working other muscles groups.
One tip for the reverse curl, (you'll have to lower the weight), is keeping the elbows further back is that it forces you to move the bar up and down your torso (sliding against it basically). Big difference.
Great tip mate!
so a reverse drag curl? what makes that better, more time spend with your forearm parallel to the floor, thus more difficult moment arm?
Dope lesson. I learned so much. Thanks!
Looks like a perfect accessory exercise for my biceps/arms day!
I have always found the forearms the most difficult to gain muscle, so I want to learn more
lad, just use a hand grip
@@Nickdabom8 OK thanks
@@Nickdabom8 using them rn and they’re awesome
Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to do at least one of these as a last exercise before I finish.
Really appreciate all your work, I'm committed, thanks
Thank you Sal
great points! Thank you.
Excellent video.Thanks.
Good video! Thanks for the info!
"Your hands can handle tremendous amounts of load."
This is what I do....I quote people out of context for lolz.
PuffinTuff The guy in the video forgot to mention " Farmer's walk" exercise.
Thank you for the video. Noted information.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Been working out old school for years and your video is very helpful.😎👍🇺🇸
I enjoyed your video very much! Cannot wait till I get to the gym in the morning to add these. Ever notice how the new guys coming into the gym seem to know everything and are loud, and within a few months they are history? Some were working out when I joined and are still there but those all seem to be quite and concentrating on learning and doing more. It takes all kinds! Do more videos some of us appreciate them!
Love the mindset!
Thanks for the work keep it up 👍
Very useful video. Thanks
Awesome info. Thanks
Something not many focus on but definitely important and great content.
Great video
Great vid. Thanks mate.
Great video, cheers
You guys are amazing!
Wrist roller,gripper, farmer walks,and flexation. One handed Baseball bat swinging is great as well.
Same with working in a butcher shop.
Grip strength is hugely useful in any sport. I think it’s hard to train in the gym cause most weights don’t allow you to close your grip and squeeze, weight hanging from a rope , band or bucket handle low you to hold with a more closed fist which is more engaging to your core as well as strengthening down to the hand . Also good to let the weight hang from ur fingertips
Don't forget to train your fingers, not just your grip
Good info.💪🏻
Thanks for sharing your video Sir great
Good video, some exercises I haven't seen before.
Great infomation
Thanks....helpful
Thx u Picked up 2 good tips..
I’ma 58 yr old woman. 4’11” 110 lbs.I use wristbands bcz many yrs ago I was hanging upside down a lot and my fingers started to kill me! A trainer told me to wear wrist bands bcz apparently all gymnasts wear them for a reason. I would easily hang for 5 minutes to do my full bar workout. I also can wrist curl up to 25 lb dumbbells starting at 15 lbs. I’ll do up to 40 reps per hand. I do a lot of calisthenics. I got pushed down & I broke my radius bone in 4 different places, had surgery. I got my wrist strength back up & now I’m hoping to get back at it! 🤞🏻 I’m going to do the kettlebell workout! Thx 🙏🏻
Excellent video. I started utilizing straps when 90%+ on 2nd 3rd set & 1 repax.
For over a year my forearm has been on fire sometimes freeze up. Wah i know but do you have suggestion to stop other than all the vasic stretches?
I have tried these and all I can say is wow! Increased size considerably and strength is off chain I. Feel this has also worked tendon strength,thanks
m
Thank you hulk
An important video for anyone over 40. These excercises will also help prevent tennis and golfer's elbow which are extremely common.
Yup, I got a golfer's elbow right now, it's a major pain, and luckily I can still do hammer curls without pain since my forearms are 90 degrees supinated compared to regular curls which hands are fully supinated, which cause the most pain.
@@jeffostroff - I hope it clears up quickly!
My dad's grip is like a vice, he was just a blue collar man that did a little working out in the garage with improvised weights. He showed me #3 back in the 80's only he used a sledgehammer. Lower your grip on the handle to increase weight then move to a bigger hammer. Try it with a 20 lb. sledge at the bottom of the handle!!!
Very nice vid. How do you feel about reverse curls with an ez-curl bar? I noticed you used a straight bar..
Ty. You da man💪🥊
excellent
I love all of these exercises. One more I would add is wrist rotations with a martial arts belt or strap with a weight attached. Start with pams facing up while gripping the belt/strap and rotate until palm is facing down.
use a tricep strap pulled to one end. attach to a cable pulley system. bands are dangerous an unstable an break more than your body when they break
I do something similar to those thumbless reverse curls, but instead of lifting the bar, I just flick my wrists upward. Destroys my arms after 2 sets with 30 pound dumbbell on each hand. Will definitely try the reverse curls as an alternative though!
this is a good video. Don't let the comments get you down. It's the internet.
Great video 👍 👌 💪
Awesome 👍👍
Good tips. I've heard that a lot. Don't train too many days a week. One or two days is fine. Because your still partly working these muscles in other exercises. Plus like you said, don't go to failure 60 seconds do 30or 35. Someone said you could overtrain and get carpal tunnel. Go easy. At least until you progress. That kettlebell works good. But I bought something on ebay I like better. Its a short bar ,that fits 2 inch plates, and has a fat grip handle. Its $80.00 ,but its worth it . You can use it for different exercises.
Unbelievable! I was JUST THINKING ABOUT THESE EXERCISES ABOUT 20 MINUTES AGO!!!! What are the odds? Thanks for posting this! PS - how about Farmer's Carry?
maybe you are spied like me...
This demonstration is tremendous.
Awesome you earned a like and subscribe. I onky used lifting straps for my extra heavy last set but no straps before that. Grips all the way
Someone who is suffering from Medial Epicondylitis, how many sets/rep per week would you recommend for those exercises to strengthen forearm slowly? I do heavy DL once a week and I haven't had the need to use straps for it. However, I do use straps for assisted chin-ups and RDL etc. as I notice elbow pain tenderness post workout. Thanks.
That"s new to me I'll try this👍
Hey man i love that breitling. Great watch!
great vid
Actually a pretty good video! Science based and proven exercises but those were great variations thanx
Man those t-shirt grips are impossible. You’re amazing dude 💪🏻❤️🥊
Similar to that t-shirt hang, my father taught me this technique that they used to do when they were in the military to strengthen the grip, it was to have a wet towel and roll it as much as you can then hold it at the max contraction.It's simple to incorporate as well, just do it post your shower.
That’s a very easy way,thank you
Hey what do you think of doing landmine T-Bar rows with rolled up towel for your grip?
That was soo helpful bra
Indeed feel the burn 🔥
the one you did with the kettlebell works best with an old school adjustable dumbell. you can do up an down with them if you do the behind the head triceps position. one side with weight.
also warn people they can only do little weight cause its very quick to injure something that can only lift 4 lbs going to 8.
also stretch the tricep grip to one end an rotate the wrist both ways
I don't use wrist straps but I do use chalk
demarco767 chalk doesn't make the lift easier, it doesn't distribute the weight in any way. No issues with chalk , I use wraps once in a while just for ego boost, like shrugging 500 or dead lifting some shit I couldn't normally handle . But I fully understand that I wouldn't be able to lift it without the wraps before i start the workout
You
Like the kettle bell exercise.
Sal can you make a video about better vertical jump and running faster ?
first time watching, good video, do you recommend fat gripz to make a lift harder?
I recently came to a conclusion that compounds are better for developing your forearms than isolation exercises. I'm thinking a couple minutes of hanging, climbing a monkey course or rope climbing. But I would try the wrist curls if it will work too. If you got some experience with this please share your opinions! Do you think climbing/rope climbing or hanging will develop your forearms better that wrist curls?
4:39 does it have to be done that slow or a little faster?
So after I broke my left wrist 2 times and strained my tendons a few times, (I have very small wrists) I couldn't do a lot of exercises anymore and was in constant pain.
These are some REALLY GOOD exercises to strenghten your arms and hands. Just can recommend these.
Bye
Can you use to light weight kettle bell to do the wrist exercise?
use towels cuz t shirts will stretch and ruin.
Lol
Have you actually tried using towels? They are too big for most peoples' hands.
"Towels is for the champion wankers"
True story ya'll
@@gatoryak7332 towels come in many sizes, I don't think he was suggesting a beach towel. Hand towel or dish towel. Add more towels for more thickness or add weight if desired.
The wrist excercise with the kettlebell can be done with a short handled sledgehammer too
Hello, any suggestions for people who have trigger finger issues? I for one want to strengthen my wrist and hand grip. But I have a trigger finger on both my hands. Any exercise or suggestions on helping with trigger fingers?? ..Thanks 👍💪
Wrist wrap make your forearms weak. Also gripping spring that you put on barbell help the minute muscle around wrist makes your grip strong great video even some half pull up excercise are good.
this video providing useful information. Thanks!
Damn, this looks painful, but I’ll still add this to my workouts
I don’t have gym access or weights like the kettlebell... I do have tools like a sledgehammer would this work for that lateral curl?
GOD BLESS,.
I use the wrist roller. Get a pipe or dowel and wrap a rope to it. Place rope through the weights. Grab pipe over handed and Start rolling it up with ten pounds. Roll it up and down. Then gripping the pipe or dowel turn your palms up towards the ceiling and roll this way .
thanks for the video, the exercise using the kettle (lateral) you mentioned using adjustable dumbells as well, but would you remove the weight on top or below, I assume holding in the hammer curl position
The weight on top mate.
This is one forearm workout my football team taught us, and I was wondering if it is actually effective. On one end of a rope we would tie a 5-10 pound weight, and on the other end, tie it to a wooden peg long enough to closely grip with both hands. The goal was to roll the peg in your hands until the weight can’t go up any higher, then unroll it controlled until there is not more length left to the rope. It burned like crazy, but after weeks of doing it I saw no growth. Keep doing it, or drop it from my workout?
Vincent Perez please say you didn't hold it in front of you arms length so you were burning out your front delts like most people do? I do them with my elbows locked into my hips.
Although my form isn't perfect Im just worried about gripping the bar as hard as I can and rolling it back with my wrists. I used this exercise as one of my posthab drills after I broke my wrist and it now become a sample of my routine. Its amazing for wrist health and works your extensions a hell of a lot. A thicker bar will give more forearm stimulation. I defiantly notice my forearms are getting bigger. I do 5 sets of 5 usually with about 45 seconds rest periods 3x a week. Also on the way down don't just drop it roll it back so it keeps constant tension. Good luck man
Daniel Clark yea, now that you point it out, hold your arms straight seems kinda pointless. Thanks for the heads up.
Vincent Perez yeah it just burns your delt out and make you use less weight. Wait till your up to 20 pounds and see the hypertrophy gainz
Everybody uses forearm rollers incorrectly. Holding it out in front only limits what your forearms can do due to shoulder fatigue. Best solution: get a 2" pvc pipe, slide it over a racked barbell sleeve, and wrap a flat strap (or cord), around it till it catches on itself, loop carabiner through weights, done. Adjust barbell height as needed.
Kyle - Great advice. Been doing it that way for years.
Do fitness gloves reduce the amount of grip strength you develop? Do fitness gloves affect how my forearms grow? See the reason I use them is to avoid calluses, and they work for that reason, although I've been lifting for about 4 months now and I dont see much change in my forearms, even though it feels like I should.
I do shoulder shrugs for my trapezius muscles with 75 pound dumbbells (I am only 5'-6"). I had to work my way up to that from lighter weights because of grip strength. Using the heavy weights, I could barely do 10 reps, my grip would start failing. However, by working my grip this way, I now have no problem holding onto the dumbbells while doing 3 sets of 13 reps. I credit my grip strength to this. I've never used straps. However, after seeing this video I am going to incorporate some of these exercises to build the appearance of my forearms.
Funny I saw this comment. I’m 5’5, and have been struggling going up in weight on the db shrugs because of my grip strength. I’m stuck at 50 lbs right now but def feel I can go heavier but my grip is holding me back. Did you do these exercises and did they help you?
@@pjcaps100 - I sometimes did the reverse grip curls. In February 2020 I stopped working out because I was overdoing it (3 days weights, 3 days running 4 miles) with everything else I had going on too, and then covid hit and the gyms were closed, and yadda yadda. It's been 2 years now since I've worked out. I really need to get back to the gym. Being on afternoon shift for work also is not helping.
What worked for my grip to be able to work with the 75 pound dumbbells was first working out with a weight I could hold for 3 sets of 10 reps. I could shrug more weight than I could grip, so I worked out with 45 pound weights doing 3 sets of 10 reps. When I got to 3 sets of 15 reps, being able to hold the weight through all of them, I then stepped up to 60 pounds. I did as many reps I could do in each set until I was able to hold the weights for 3 sets of 15 again, then stepped up again.
When I stopped working out, not too long after making the above comment, I had no problem doing 3 sets of 15 reps with 75 pounds.
When lifting for strength I always used this method.....lifting the amount of weight that I can for 10 reps and doing 3 sets, even if I could not do 10 reps every set. Then when I can do 3 sets of 15 reps I increase to a new weight that I can only lift 10 reps and start the process all over again.
BTW, I don't know how old you are but I was in the best shape of my life at 54; lean, definition, I could see a hint of abs (NEVER had that before in my life), lots of energy, my adult kids can't keep up with me. I was 56 when I stopped working out. I'll be 58 this summer and will be back in the gym very soon again and I will get to that shape again (diet is also incredibly important). Anytime you are ready to hit it in the gym, your body will respond. Working out truly is the fountain of youth.
@@1001Hobbies thanks for the reply! I’m 38 and just got back into the gym last November after like 10 years, I have two young kids and work 1130am-8 so i workout in the morning. Good luck to you getting back at it!
Hi there! can you show some techniques on how to do burpees and push ups if you have sore wrists please
We have a great video on pushups - but burpees is an exercise i would avoid all together if you have wrist related pain.
The only reason I have started using a wrist guard, on my right wrist is because I got a chronic inflammation there (from exercises) which I can't get rid of for the
death of me for about 4 years now. I am working my forearms in the gym (without a guard) but I don't believe I can remove it completely or it will get worse. Any suggestions?
My forearm training is usually just dead bar hanging for 3 minutes after back workout, so i can rly feel the burn (I swap grip from pull-up grip to chin-up grip after 1,5 minutes).
please tell us, sets and rep count. also long should resting between sets should be?
I've found that rope climbing also helps
Would an exercise like the kettlebell hammer be good for a steel club? I would imagine it would be good to try both club up and club down? Thanks for the video!
joe beres yes for sure
Is there any modified version of these work outs for tennis elbow sufferers? Obviously lower weight and more conditioning weight than bulk weight.
My shoulders wear out before my forearms. What am I doing wrong? Watched this video several times and can't figure it out. Using an easy curl bar, could that be the problem?
Dude big brain
I’m working on my forearm strength. But I also use the versa grips. I wait until my forearms are smoked, and become the limiting factor. Then I put them on, which is usually only one or two sets.
I mean, there are some physics to muscle size here. We wouldn’t say our calves can become as strong as our quads right? It makes sense that the forearms would be weaker than lats. But I do agree most of us could have much stronger forearms.
I am surprised that fingertip pushups weren’t mentioned. That is what I do for forearm and hand strength.
Thanks I am in a wheelchair not all the time you gave me some good ideas to strengthen my forearms
