Have you ever tried a full forearms workout? Probably not. If you have weak forearms, and you need to strengthen them, try this workout. Also, this workout is beneficial to the wrestlers and judo practitioners. The workout consists of 5 exercises.

THE ROUTINE

1) This exercise engages the forearm flexors. We provided an additional video for this exercise.

2) Use the rope that is attached to the bar, but if you do not have it, use the naked lighter bar (In that case just twist the bar). This exercise targets all forearm parts.

3) If you do not have this machine, just grab something that you can squeeze that can replace this machine. This exercise targets the forearm flexors.

4) This exercise targets the forearm flexors also. The goal is to squeeze at the top and hold for 2 seconds. That squeeze (hold) at the top plays the most important role. Do not use a too-heavy bar. With a too-heavy bar, you will not be able to do a proper squeeze.

5) Reverse grip biceps curls: The thumbs should be over the bar. This exercise engages the brachioradialis and the forearm extensors. If the thumbs are under the bar, you will also activate the brachialis.
