Does this really make a good forearm exercise or is it just a meme?
they make tiny difference over a long time.
just deadlift and farmers carry m8, will work better.

thanks man
deadlift and basically any exercise I need a strong grip to support? Or does deadlift have some special features that make it ideal for forearms?
>>36628884
I noticed any sort of pull exercise works forearms well, and pull exercises tend to need a lot of grip strength. so ye.
If you look at a middle-aged man who has done manual labour, his forearms are generally massive.

I have to sit for extended periods of the day. Farmers carry is not an option at my desk.
Is this a worthwhile exercise at the desk or just a meme?
I will (and do) deadlift at the gym.
>>36628828
I'm getting good results with these every night mixed with strict pull ups and forearm curls
And what about wrist roller? I heard its the most complex exercise for foremarms. Anyone has any experiences with it?

>Farmers carry is not an option at my desk.
you don't actually have to walk when doing a FC. walking is just added exercise, really is pointless to actually do if all you care about is grip.
just hold heavy things, grip them hard. do this a lot over a long time. boom, big, meaty forarms.
well, now that I think a bit I guess when walking the little bumps and jerks keep the weight from sitting statically in the same position, so maybe try to move the heavy weight around a little bit in your hands.

Accessory exercise, useful when grip starts failing on deadlifts. Plastic ones are invariably shit though. Need about 150lb resistance minimum.

>hold heavy things, grip them hard, do this a lot over a long time
You just described high resistance hand grips. The only difference is the force trying to open your hand comes from a thick metal spring rather than a heavy weight.
>>36628884
anything where you're holding weight in a relaxed arm, like in the deadlift. the deadlift is best because it's your heaviest lift, so you're holding the most weight in your hands and really testing your grip.
on the last rep of the last set of deadlifts, hold the weight as long as possible too. all the little things help!
The ones OP posted are bullshit and worthless.. but if you get yourself CoC's, then yes, great forearm/grip exercise
>>36629431
Why is this supposedly good while the others are shit?
>>36629636
One is memed on the net, the other's aren't.
>>36629431
this is better training up to 98kg

90*
fuck
>>36629364
You "relax" your arms during deadlifts? You should probably stop that.
>>36631149
"this"
Aight lemme find it by typing "this" into google

I try to do them every workout with 10lbs. Have seen impressive forearm gains. Do it both up and down. I always do it palms facing down though, so do it with palms facing up every now and then.
Farmers are great do them too. I can double overhand 425 when I used to have trouble holding 335. Deadlifting more will obviously help grip as well

dumbass

98 kg arent shit after a little, CoC can go much further
>>36628828
Meme.
Do heavy deadlifts, heavy wrist curls, farmers carry. Don't forget to do the opposite of wrist curls and hammer curls for the other forearm muscles.

>meme
never change fit
Not sure about gaining mass but I used one of these to rehabilitate a sprained elbow ligament and when it had healed my grip was noticeable stronger in my previously injured arm.

It seems to me the build quality on the COC is better. All you really need is a #1 and #2 maybe T if you are having difficulty closing the #1 for atleast 5 reps. Should run you the same as a GD Iron Grip 90.
