CW’s Training Tip #3!…
“Got Forearms??”
I remember when I first started training with weights, many moons ago, I was frequently getting intensely annoying forearm niggles and injuries.
Of course, back in the early 1980’s, no one was training forearms directly and were only interested in training (and overtraining) their biceps.
About a decade later I decided to train them directly with three basic exercises, the reverse barbell curl or dumbbell hammer curl and seated wrists curls.
Not only did my forearms quickly grow in size and become notably stronger, but my upper arms (via the brachialis) looked more impressive too. The most significant improvement, however, was that with the improved development the injuries started to go away.
I usually work my forearms straight after my biceps.
2-3 sets of Barbell Reverse Curls (or Dumbbell Hammer Curls) to hit the brachioradialis followed by 2 sets of seated wrist curls (palms facing up to hit the forearm flexors) is all you need.
Worth a shot…you will be pleased with the results!!
