    Rice bucket training routine: • Rice Bucket Training -...
    Have you ever wondered which Forearm exercises are the BEST to get those popeye looking forearms? Thats what we will look into in todays video! For this tierlist, i chose these exercises: wrist curl, wrist extension, behind the back wrist curl, deadlift, row, hammer curl, reverse curl, fat gripz, grippers, wrist roller, farmers walk, dead hang, rice bucket training, zottman curls. All of the rankings are based on my own experience, and not on useless scientific studies. But you should always keep in mind, that everyone is different, and something that works for me, might not be so great for you. So dont forget that!

      Big forearms also look amazing if you have a shirt with the sleeves pulled up to the biggest part of the forearm. This makes the forearms look even bigger.

    Small thing that I wanna add to this video in case some of you guys are looking for hypertrophy gains on forearms. You should prefer wrist rotation moves (forearm curl, reverse curl, twister etc..) to gripping moves (dead-hangs, grippers...) for bigger forearms. Gripping moves will give you strong forearms and strong gripping power but will not do much on making your forearms bigger. I went the opposite way and trained grip a lot, never trained anything else than grip, I ended up with relatively small forearms - I beat the biggest guy in the gym in grip strength but his forearms are easily twice as big as mine. You guessed it, he never trained grip but does a lot of wrist rotation exercises...

    One little known exercise that I love and has helped with my rock climbing is Barbell Finger Curls. Letting a bar roll into your finger tips and curling your hand closed. You use a weight way higher than standard wrist curls, start at 1/2 your body weight and add more weight when 20 reps is possible, aim for 12-20

      @@KS-MDCCLXXVI Using heavy weight to the point where there's discomfort/strain on the wrist and where you can barely get to 10 reps or so might be overdoing it.
      1. Try doing Seated Wrist (Finger?) Curls with something comfortable under your forearms as support (maybe a foam padding)
      2. Use a relatively moderate weight that enables you to reach around 12- 20 reps SAFELY
      3. Like every other exercise (with some exceptions), Control the eccentric and don't let the weight control you
      then let the dumbbell fall onto your fingertips and wrist curl back up
      4. Make sure you are warmed up properly as that also causes issues with weightlifting performance (because your joints are cold and not as mobile as they would with proper warm up)
      Hope that helps😝

      No shit sherlock, since you're a fucking armwrestler that specializes in arm development and not back or legs. His recommendation to not use them for those exercises is for normal people who want to get functionally strong all over or build an aesthetic body - not for people who participate in an idiotic "sport" and look like homunculus that jerk off 24 hours a day with one arm bigger than the other.

    Howdy I just bought your Full Body Guide and it's pretty awesomely simple, haven't lifted in a year but I've been doing a shitload of cardio for the past two months whipping myself into some sort of shape, really I just want to learn to play drums, death metal drums with a fuckload of double bass, and want to toss in some weight lifting and the option for 2-3 full body days a week seems the sweet spot I'm looking for. Thanks for Keeping It Simple Stupid!

    Thank you! I'm a skinny guy but also a masseur so I always have to focus more on my forearms because I mostly work with them.

    Hello trainer winny. I must say your videos are always optimized to be as clear as possible and that helps a lot. I read over the free newsletter which I think is amazing, but it comes down to the question of how my workout split should look like, since it said most of the muscle groups should be trained 2 times a week or more. Should I incorporate a 5 or 4 day split because currently I do 3 times a week
