[@jamesrieckmann5960]

Added bonus: Reverse curls and hammer curls will improve your strength in arm wrestling. I use a triceps bar to do my hammer curls. The closer grip seems to isolate my outer arm. A good variation on reverse curls is using the cable machine. I find it's easier to control the concentric part of the exercise. Thanks, mountaindog, your videos help me greatly.

[@philmcgroin]

Coming back to this one as my forearms are lacking. Thanks John

[@Adam-kt8nl]

Don't know why I never thought of doing forearms in a circuit like this, always use to break them into separate exercises, didn't have grips but did an iso hold with heavier dumbells, worked great, thanks for the videos

[@mountaindog1]

you bet!

[@emZee1994]

This is good. But the best forearm training I have ever seen comes from competitive armwrestlers They have special and unique exercises for forearm growth, even unique tweaks on curls and things like that to help grow massive forearms A quick KZbin search will reveal many of their techniques. Helped me I'm sure it will help anybody else Thanks for the videos John loving them

Hanging from rope is fantastic as well. It helps engage the muscles around the thumb tremendously. Start at 1.5 inch rope and after you've reached 1 minute holding, move to 2 inch rope. After that, work on 1 arm holds.

[@pumpedupone]

It works buddy!

You can also try doing heavy overhand drag curl/rows. Leaning ever so slightly forward and just drag the barbell up your body with overhand grip. It's like a drag curl but also feels a bit like a row.

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

Dead hangs from a bar for as long as possible is great for grip and forearm strength, and hanging from one hand is brutal, heavy farmer's carries with dumbbells or kettlebells are also brilliant

[@tjriz91]

Thanks for the advice. Ever since dealing with brachial plexopathy/thoracic outlet problems from an injury at work, followed by chronic lyme disease, I've had to work really hard to bounce back from muscle atrophy. The forearms and grip strength have been more difficult to address than anything. I was originally trying regular farmer's walks, which would definitely get my forearms burning, but I think that exercise causes too much STRETCHING of the forearm muscles, and not enough contracting. I would feel the burn, but never growth.

awsome video...next workout i will try this...one point guys on the first exercise if you can do partials but in the top range of motion (like 21`s) there is some scientific evidence(jeff nipard did a video about that) that the top range of motion partials work the best that phil heath chunk bracioradialis or whatever its called

[@davidgrams8368]

Just so happens its arm day for me in the morning. No grips at the moment but I will look into getting some! Love reverse curls as a finisher though!

[@sammysam2615]

You can also stand on the end of a towel and roll it up and down, it shreds the hands and forearms

[@theamazingcj5708]

Go thumbless on the reverse curls to elicit more brachialradialis activation.

[@pumpedupone]

Wow dude!

[@welshdragon2927]

Not true. Brachioradilas does not act on the fingers.

[@theamazingcj5708]

Welsh Dragon obviously not but when you go thumbless your flexors and extensors have to work harder which allows for a better contraction in the brachialradialis and for a better forearm workout all around.

[@tigerbeatfilms2943]

Mad Lad Is it really excuses tho? I know guys that are fucking huge and lean, work their forearms and calves 3-4 times a week and they’re still out of proportion with the rest of their bodies. If you read enough into it, you’ll see that it IS mainly genetics and to do with muscle belly and tendon lengths.

[@madlad847]

@@tigerbeatfilms2943 of course, everything is genetics, but you know why those guys don't get thick forearms? Not cuz of bad genetics. Cuz they're either not training it hard enough or got the wrong exercises. Have you seen a pro armwrestler (even the normal ones) with thin forearms? Now don't tell me that they ALL have good genetics...

[@tigerbeatfilms2943]

Mad Lad interesting. Not trying to make an argument but I pounded mine and my calves, I put over 200 hours into calf training, to the point where I could barely walk the next day and I saw little to no growth and same goes for my forearms. I also noticed a few of the top arm wrestlers with long arms also don’t have very big forearms.

[@michiganmobster1652]
