Training Hard

I dunno why but I love hammering the forearms with everything I can.  It really makes you feel like you’ve worked out when you can’t type or write after wards.

So as you’d expect I’ve collected quite an array of different forearm exercises:

• Wrist Roller (AKA: Forearm Killer): I won’t bother explaining this all over again as you can see mine here.
• Wrist Twists: Can be done with a sledge hammer or a dumb bell with weight only on one side.  You grip the shaft and twist.  Great for rotational strength in the wrists.
• Grippers: These are just your normal grip workers you can get form just about anywhere.  Its worth doing reps and holding for time.
• Knuckle and Finger Push Ups: As well as working the usual chest, shoulders and triceps these variations are great for your forearms and grip strength.
• Wrist Dumb Bell Curls: You need to support your arm on a bench and have you hand hanging off the edge.  Then using a dumb bell or plate curl it up and down working your wrist and forearm.
• Punching: Preferably a bag and not people.  This trains you for high impact and makes your entire arm solid and well supported.

Good forearm strength is also good for staving off RSI – which is good news for office workers at computers all day.
