[@szneka12]

I've been doing one set to failure of DB wrist curls after every single workout for 12+ years now and my forearms easily became my strongest bodypart, by far. It literally takes less than 60 seconds. Zero added fatigue. I rotate underhand, overhand, and 'hammer' curl type angle and always aim to get one more rep than last time. Slow and controlled, maximum contraction. My secret sauce: open up the palm and extend the fingers during underhand curls for maximum stretch. I love this.

But his physique is relatively similar to that of GVS, Sean Nalawanyj, Jeff Nippard (maybe debatable) and BOM, and you can see his gradual progress throughout the years as he began specializing. Unless he absolutely blows up in the next year, I think he's natural.

[@KalvinistKyle]

How funny, I’ve been doing pull-ups outside on an old swing set too. I feel oddly comfortable with the grip on the bar. Definite noticeable difference from smaller bars. Forearms and grip strength have come with the job and I’m noticing the payoff doing pull ups.

Thank you. Now I understand why my back is still not getting the improvement it deserves: My forearms are always the weak link, so the lats never truly reach failure. Those bars in the park where I'm training are all THICC bars... More than half a year now of only pullup variants and deadhang too due to lack of means and time, I notice little change in forearms size. However my FAs definitely get more veiny (despite being still quite small), and I can open some tough lids now. Well, it's not the improvement I'd want, but it's welcomed.

[@ryanliu494]

Long time viewer Alex, I have terrible forearms despite rock climbing and having a respectable deadlift. It's more common than you'd think because our leverages bias us to deadlift more and climb better bc having a longer reach and thus longer forearms gives you an advantage in both. Good to look at other approaches like yours! Love your content bro

[@AlexLeonidas]

I guess you just have to keep forcing harder positions. If not via reach, it must be through thicker implements. Notice how I didn't mention deadlifts in this video. Many elite pullers have sticks for forearms.

[@ExternusArmy]

Fat grips for everything and your forearms are guaranteed to grow. As someone with relatively small hands, it’s pretty much like I’m using fat grips and my forearms are huge.

[@gromswowguide7927]

Outer extremities (think i spelled that right) are absolutely very underestimated, big forearms will make you look bigger than having big biceps, you'll never look like you have small legs if your calves are big, you can be small and have a thick neck which makes you look bigger and more powerful as a whole, you can be skinny, but if you have big shoulders you still will look like you have a big and aesthetic physique, in my opinion, forearms, calves, neck and shoulders are arguably the most important parts in a physique, the little gains in those outer extremities go a far longer way than the bigger muscles of the body.

[@eranavrahami3629]

Been waiting for this video for so long! I'm just entering my intermediate stage as a new lifter, and damn I could tell that my forearms were a TRUE limiting factor. Doing 70kgs RDL's for reps became hard on my forearms rather than my hamstrings! Also, doing 140kg DL became hard because the bar would slip out of my hands even though I had the power in my glutes and hamstrings to carry that weight up! Right now I'm adding 2-3 forearms isolation exercises on each of my workouts! Its important to say that these recover VERY VERY fast and therefore it's completely ok to destroy them every day (just like any arm muscle) I would also add that in my opinion, if you're not ADVANCED, and by advanced I mean super strong you should definitely drop the straps and the belt and focus on strengthening your forearms and core.

[@cronikvialo5463]

I'm a 240lb fat-ass, and can't even do a single pull-up. Randomly found this video. Just being honest.

[@MF_PHANTOM]

Without enough strength for a pull up you won’t be able to pull yourself up at 240 lb. I’m 130lb and I can do about 20 pullups and I rarely train for them. If you start doing negatives, And maybe rows with enough weight for 4 ish reps you’ll be able to do pull-ups in no time. If I were to put on a 105 lb belt on I don’t think I’d be able to do anywhere near 20 or maybe not even one. A person who is 300lb and is able to do pull-ups are very impressive and the people with the bigger backs but are lean incorporate pull-ups with around 300 lb in combination with their body weight. I would have to do a 165lb weighted pull up while you’d have to do a 60lb weighted pull up. Just time, practice and progression

[@MF_PHANTOM]

Just know your weight is really a factor and it will be impressive when you do a pull up and you will be able to with progression.

I think the fatgrip pullups + rope pullups are a great idea. With the overhand/neutral (on the rope, sort of) grip, you automatically use a lot of the brachioradialis, and with the fat grip, needing to squeeze, you train the 'other side', the flexor radialis. This means you train the two biggest forearm muscles, with 1 exercise. Quite smart indeed, never thought of it that way.

Bro you good?

[@AlexLeonidas]

Thanks for checking up. I'm not doing too well bro, my energy is completely tanked and I have no drive to do anything. This is the worst I've ever felt in my life..

When I saw you start with pull up I knew I was at the right place, I saw significant amount of improvement in my forearms during the time when I was learning to do pull ups.

Thank you, this is the first video that i see from you, next month will mark my 1 year in gym, and my worst feature was the small hands for someone who is 185cm without shoes. Now i see my small hands as a good thing

You're only as strong as your weakest link.

Surprised you didn't include wrist roller. The forearm pump from wrist rollers is always insane for me.
