Forearms
Forearms are the main muscle that
helps your wrists and control; it is great for almost all sports, to help in
effectiveness, flexibility, and structure.
Martial arts, boxing, wrestling, golf, and pure awesomeness, are all
things that use your forearms as a vital muscle. A few exercises can help in focusing on your
forearm muscles, but mainly doing bicep exercises and gaining weight on exercises
will naturally get gains of your forearms because of the constant pressure on
your hands and wrists.
·
Reverse Curls – Just like doing a regular barbell
curl for you biceps but this time reverse your grip in the bar with your knuckles
pointing towards you. When doing this
exercise be sure to keep your wrists locked in a certain position to avoid
pulling something or turning the reverse curl into a hang clean. The reverse curl works the top strip of
muscle on your forearms.
·
Reverse Barbell Wrist Curls – Probably the most effective
exercise for forearms are the reverse barbell wrist curls. Stand with a barbell behind your back and
your grip with your fingers pointing away from you. Then just simply bend your wrists up lifting
the weight with it. When doing this
exercise be sure to stand still and not use your body to gain momentum on the
exercise. This works the back of your
forearms which is used more in your forearm than the top.
·
Seated Dumbbell Wrist Curls – With this exercise use just one
dumbbell while seated on a bench. Then,
rest the middle of your forearm on your thigh while holding the dumbbell in a
reverse grip and curl your wrist up along with the dumbbell.
·
Hand Grippers – Just about every hand exercise will
also naturally work your forearms, you can use store bought spring grippers for
your hands or most gyms have some sort of machine to help work your hands.
These are about all of the forearm exercises I know, if you
know more, or you want me to add something more that I didn’t cover, COMMENT!
Remember, we’re all in this together, keep your stick on the ice.
