I love workouts with the rice bucket. I must have missed him mentioning it in the video, but the pump is always insane and my wrists always feel amazing. Hand and finger strength just feels so much better and it's therapeutic in a way and just something to do it your off time. I even did some wrist Pronations and things devon larrat recommends with a band every night in my car while waiting for work. If you can fit in Forearm work somewhere do it. Just make sure to let your hands rest every once in a while

Just arm wrestle bro All jokes aside. My Dad actively refuses to do gym work. He’s almost strangely against going to the gym. But his grip and forearms are impressive because he spends his free time yanking car parts off and putting new ones on all day, and it’s his job to fix trains. So I think the key is literally just frequency and putting yourself in very unconventional and uncomfortable positions

I did farmers walk with a towel through a plate to improve my grip strength. Helped plenty. Also just plain hamging for a minute from a pull up bar as part of building up my pull ups. Pull ups def helped improve my grip. Haven't focussed on just the finger tips. Will give it a go. I've seen on YT rock climbers use a narrow ledge (like the decorative moulding around a door frame) to just hang from their finger tips..those guys lb for lb have awsome grip!

Hangboarding works well for climbers because hanging off small edges is a big part of the sport. If you're not actually climbing or doing gripsport it's probably not the best way to train since it's a lot of isometric work in a position you'll never use. If you really want to, the look at doing no-hangs / edge lifts with weight on a loading pin rather than hanging overhead. It's way easier to scale up and down and it's less fuck around than adding weight via a harness.

I also recommend sledge levering and plate curls if you don't want to spend time setting up. Most people have access to plates for pinching anyway but sledge levering you can to do with literally any long object that allows sliding lower to one end for worse leverage (e.g. straight lat bar, short barbell, heavy table leg...). Put some markers on for progresson and you can even do dropsets.

Quick Tip: I always carry one of those “Grip Pro Trainers” around. They are these small silicone circles that come in different resistances. They fit for example into your coat pocket or in a bag that you carry on you or leave it in your car. Whenever I am waiting, walking, calling et cetera I just grab it and do a couple sets per arm every day. Over time this nonintrusive volume will add up and improve your forearms without having to make it a big part of your training. Hope this helps for you!

Genes have alot to do with it. I was born with big forearms, both of my sons have huge forearms for their age 12-14. Now if you aren't blessed by genes you will have to build that from scratch. Just pick up insane weight and don't set it down, get a job in construction and push yourself past what you are expected to do. you will develop a body that others can't get. 8-12 hours of hard manual labor gets you there. once you build it all you have to do is maintain. I don't workout in a gym. If you want a nice workout while you sit in traffic, just grip the steering wheel as hard as you can and alternate hands when you get to failure, to it as long as your commute is, and you see development. dumb lil exercises like that can get you huge gains. Also have a heavy protein diet, you dont really need powders or suppliments just eat beef, goat, chicken and fish. you can switch it up, as much as you want pork is good to, eat the fatty meats, all that the human body needs.

For people who want to develop forearms but dont want to spend time doing multiple exercises etc, honestly I believe that hammer curls or reverse curls will do great work, because the largest muscles in the forearms are the brachioradialis (which you don't even mention in this video) and the finger flexors, both of which are taxed heavily in these movements, and will fill out both sides of the forearm.

You didn't realize emphasize it but I noticed a brief mention at the end of the wrist curls going as far as nearly completely uncurling your fingers.

I used the overhand grip when training my deadlift, only switching to the alternate grip when the weight I was lifting was too heavy for just double overhand. I never used straps. At my best I was able to deadlift 200kg (440lbs) with a double overhand grip. I had 17" forearms and 19-3/4" upper arms from that and other heavy pulling movements. I used to do pullups on a 2" thick bar. I was only 5' 7" tall, and weighed 273 pounds at my heaviest.

Ok strange question here: I used to double overhand 315 for 5 or 6 reps on deadlift on a really nice olympic bar (this was about 3 years ago) I took a long hiatus in training and now I’m struggling to do RDLs with 185 for 8 reps with a Texas Power Olympic Barbell? Is it really possible my grip strength atrophied that much? Or is it the fact that this is a different barbell/time under tension while doing RDLs? Because I’m tracking that strength typically doesn’t atrophy more than 30% even over several years.

Both. Grip strength decays fast in my experience. Also RDLs require you to hold on longer.

Heavy Barbell holds in a power rack where you only lift the bar off the pins an inch or so. Add fat grips even better👍

Play around with the thickness of the bar. I've found dumbbells with fat grips on them less stressful on my wrist joint for wrist curls AND extensions, while hitting my forearms even harder. Wrapping a towel around them works, or sometimes even going the other way amd eschewing the bar entirely for a rope attached to a plate, gives more freedom of movement.

Have you started using finger bands yet? They’re not actually gimmicky. They’re extremely effective at combating your issue.
@brianpolston9713
@brianpolston9713 5 ай бұрын
​@UniquelyUbiquitous-yg3xl I bought a flex bar and have been using that in conjunction with ulnar nerve exercises and 60 reps of light band tricep pull downs. But I'll definitely look into those. It seems like it doing what I'm doing works a little, but once I start diving back into easy lifts I can feel my grip and elbows not feeling quite right. I do a lot of city driving for my job as well so maybe that's playing a part into it.

Forearm muscles include finger extensors and flexors, which control the hand, including the function of closing the hand aka gripping. Bigger forearm = bigger finger extensors and flexors = stronger grip

Finger flexors are among the largest muscles in the forearm, and contribute more to size than wrist flexors do

Realistically every-other-day so long as they feel like complete dogschitt when you lift. *Don’t forget that you need to hammer your extensor muscles as much as your flexors to stave off potential tendinitis. *High reps are magical for forearm exercises. Use a weight that lights that schitt on fire by rep 15, but keep pushin’ to over 40. This’ll be an ultimate Litmus Test on pain tolerance. *Put your wrists through extreme stretches in between sets to really force growth. Think of ways to stretch that you wouldn’t typically find your hands in. This additional ROM helps with growth. *Don’t forget that your forearms also supinate and pronate. You should ALWAYS do at least two sets of each when working forearms. *Don’t forget radial deviation and ulnar deviation. Same rules apply as with supination and pronation. You do all of this and your forearms will BLOWWWW the eff up!

you will never have to worry about that as long as you dont try lifting way more than you can handle, and always use good form. especially as a natty, things like tendon ruptures are super fucking rare. like the dude who ruptured both tendons trying to preacher curl 135 who was probably also sauced. just dont be that guy

OMFG I did the barbell wrist curl the other day and thought I invented a new exercise 😂 I tried behind the back wrist curls but thought it was way too awkward so I just randomly grabbed the end of the barbell while it was sitting on the safeties and started doing wrist curls. It gave me an unbelievable pump and burned like crazy.

Hey man, really been enjoying your videos. Would love to hear your take on getting back into lifting after being somewhat serious/strong/competitive/whatever in your 20s. I'm the same age as you and I'm just now getting back into it after quitting around age 24. Just general advice or what to watch for would be great. thanks!

Train them heavy and hit them every other day. Get hyped for them as if it was a set of heavy deadlifts. Heavy wrist curls, holds and hammer curls with fat grips, crushers. Theres no way your forearms will be small if you can close a 2.5 CoC
