Strengthen the forearm muscles: roll up the barbell!
The forearm muscles are a part that most people ignore! But just such an inconspicuous little part may limit your overall development!
Training! Have you ever had a situation like this: your forearms can't bear it before you exert force during deadlifts, pull-ups, and rows?
Exercising your forearms isn’t just about looking good. It can help you improve performance in many full-body exercises, such as back exercises and grip strength in lifting movements like deadlifts.
The forearm muscles are mainly responsible for rotating the elbow joint and flexing and extending the wrist joint! Today I want to recommend a great forearm strengthening exercise to everyone!
Barbell roll
Use an elastic band, load weight on one end of the elastic band, and then perform wrist curling movements to develop your forearm muscles and grip strength
< span style="font-size: 14px;">The following is an action demonstration:
First choose a squat rack, then hang an elastic band in the center, and hang a heavy enough dumbbell on the other end of the elastic band !
Start to roll the barbell: Hold the barbell tightly with both hands, then turn your fingers and wrists to drive the barbell to rotate, and let the dumbbell slowly rise upwards
When the roll reaches the top, slowly unwind the barbell until it returns to the starting position
Note:
Do not stretch Instead of adding weight to your wrists, rotate the bar so that your wrists flex. This will allow the wrist flexors and their associated tendons to work on the inside of the elbow.
Grab your barbell and crush it
