Forearm exercises

If you are old enough to remember Popeye, then you know how important forearms are. Unfortunately, you are not as gifted as he was, so eating spinach won’t actually help you, however, the below guide will.

Your forearms not only stand out by their sheer mass itself, especially when you are a natty and wear a T-shirt, but they also help you with grip strength. Nonetheless, they are quite overworked in the modern society, so pay attention and listen to their complaints as soon as they feel non-regenerated. People get carpal tunnel syndromes even without training forearms, so despite there is no need to leave them out from our workout programming, they also shouldn’t be an unmissable part of your routine if you feel they cannot recover.

Instructions

  • don’t be afraid of using heavy weights
  • train it 1-2 times a week, 2-3 sets in each exercise are enough
  • rep range: 12-8, if you can do more in a certain exercise, either improve your technique, or use bigger weights to make it harder

  1. Get a bench, put your straight arm on it, palm facing upwards, and then let the dumbbell roll onto your fingertips getting as much stretch as possible, then close your palm into a steady fist, and turn it up getting as much contraction as possible.
  2. Repeat with the other arm.
  3. Now on the same bench, straight arms, but palms facing downwards. Hold the dumbbell firm, let your forearm to stretch as much as possible, and turn it up getting as much contraction as possible.
  4. Repeat with the other arm.

 

Why only one exercise?
What’s the point of doing the others if you can do the best?
How about wanking?

OK, but then squeeze it hard enough.

It has begun!

Hey all, it took me almost a year, but my blog-website combo is finally ready to go public. It's still not completely ready though, but I hope that by publishing I'll motivate myself more.
