Forearm Training

Forearm work is easy to throw in at the end of both upper or lower body sessions, and especially easy to add at the end of full body sessions. Hitting the forearms with some high reps (10-20 per set) can be a fun way to close out a session. 


Very few things stand out more that big forearms, and I find forearms to be a muscle group that craves attention, and, therefore, responds well to any isolated attention it receives.


Some forearm exercises I like are towel curls (towel looped through kettlebell horn. 1 hand or 2 hands), cable rope curls (with a neutral or hammer grip), those roll up/roll down dowels, or just the simple supinated wrist curls and pronated wrist curls. 


Feel free to get creative if you want to do forearm work at the end of sessions. Have fun with it and enjoy struggling to write down what you did in your log book afterward.


And remember, forearm training only takes 5 minutes or less at the end of a session and the fruit of gains is hanging pretty low for you. So pick that fruit!
