I'm trying to get my forearms bigger and particularly focus on my grip strength but preferably exercises that do both, so what are some exercises I can add
>>76940808Would prefer a picture of Gooky the anime for future posts, thx.
>>76940808I do all my curls overhand and hammer, that was huge. You can also do that gay shit where you roll the barbell in your hand, wirstcurls
>>76940808Just do pull ups
I found the rowing machine is good for forearms.Been doing like 15 mins 10 mins 5 minsAnd 5 X 4 minsThey seem to respond to volume like calf muscles which would make sense I guess.
>>76940808Doing both forearm size and grip simultaneously has already been mentioned above so I'll focus on just grip if you really want to isolate.1) Pinch exercises: just pinch various flat objects like a bumper plate (preferably something heavier) and lift them straight up and down (keeping the weight and your hand perpendicular to the ground).2) Crush grip: those grip strength trainers - that's what they're for.3) Hold/carry: farmer's walkWhen you're doing any of the other lifts other anons suggested, you could also wrap a towel around the bar for added difficulty. If you want to spend money, those Fat Gripz do actually work well, but I think most people will be just fine with the towel trick.

>>76940854I already do the reverse(overhand) curls and wrist curls but they don't seem like they do anything for me. I do 3x8-12 for 110lbs in both.>>76940861Thank you>>76940855I already do them but they don't seem to be enough my grip on a dynanometer is only 126lbs
>>76940861I've noticed that when I do rows, my grip fails 5-6 reps before my back does. My dad's got some of those grip trainers - will they help with stamina, or just grip tightness/strength?
>>76940808Dead hangs. Load them once you get decent time. Other than that, what >>76940861 already mentioned. I found pic rel work quite well too. Either hang from them or attach them to some plates and lift them.
>>76940884Do more reps on the reverse curl and put your thumb over the bar, instead of against your fingers.
I do pic rel and seated one armed rope sled pull. Things we do in wrestling/judo conditioning.
>>76940808https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Arzt_SSqKcVid rel is pretty easy to do at home, or at the gym if you bring an old judo belt there.
>>76940884>I already do the reverse(overhand) curls and wrist curls but they don't seem like they do anything for me. I do 3x8-12 for 110lbs in both.Probably because wrist curls train the wrist flexors / extensors, not the digital flexors. If you want greater grip strength, you have to actually train the muscles used when gripping.
