Forearms
translate to strong grip strength. This can allow you to squeeze harder, engage
more muscles and generate more force during your workouts. Those with weaker forearms will struggle
significantly more when doing arm and upper body workouts compared to those
with built forearms. Through the training of your forearms you’ll begin to
strengthen and bulk up your arms overall, with extra strength and muscle you’ll
have more endurance for your arm days. A strong grip helps you carry, hold and
lift items in your everyday life and during athletic activity.
This is an
exercise that targets the upper and outer forearm. This is a great exercise
that really hit the tie in from the outer bicep to the upper forearm. This is a
difficult exercise because this muscle group is very small and most time not as
strong as the rest of the forearm. Reverse grip wrist curls (supinated wrist
curls) builds the forearm flexors and are important to accessary exercises to
the biceps curls and providing a strong backhand for sports like tennis and
racquetball.
This exercise will strengthen your wrist. It will also help ensure good form and prevent injury when you do upper body strength exercises. The strength in your hands come from your forearms, the benefit of adding wrist curls to your routine is you’ll be able to hold more weight in your hands. Your tiny wrist is responsible for adduction, abduction, flexion-extension and circumduction. The flexor muscles flex your wrist toward your forearm and extensor muscles extends your muscles back to the straight position.
