Maybe you are performing a dead-lift or even a lat pull-down when you realize you will not be able to hold on long; it isn’t the exercise that is tiring you so much as gripping the heavy weight. What is the matter?
Weak forearms. We have ALL been there before.
There is a solution, but most bodybuilders and bro scientists try methods that don’t work. Namely, wrist curls, write rolls, and rotations…
…weights are NOT the answer.
Expert Paul Wade, from Convict Conditioning, believes forearm strength is paramount and can come with two main old-school exercises:
- Hang from anything and everything – Try hanging on a pull-up bar as long as possible. Keep working at it until you can hold yourself with one hand. Then hold yourself with a towel!
- Finger push-ups – Do some push-ups with your fingers in neutral position.
With these practices you should get your forearms stronger and you will be able to lift heavier.
