I think this site will be very usefull for you http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html
I don't see the exercise I like best. But all you do is get a barbell behind you, put your arms to your side and reach back to grab the barbell. Then with an open grip just curl up.

I like static gripping myself. 1) Grab a pair of heavy dumbbells. (2) Hold them till near failure and then rack them.

My father worked as an electrician all his life. Using screwdrivers and pliers gave him friggin strong forearms. I made my own wrist roller our of a piece of 2.5" pvc and a rope. The larger diameter makes it harder to grip plus you're rolling the weight up and then down again. Feel the burn, baby!!!!! My forearms feel like they're going to explode after that.
I heard that Arnold used to ball his fists and then stretch his hands open, ball his fists then stretch his hands open as fast as he could for like 30 seconds or so. Can anyone verify that? I don't remember where I heard it and I haven't been able to find anything on it. I tried it once and it felt like my hands were gonna fall off.

Thought I'd bump this thread. Other than shrugs, DLs and such, does anyone do anything for grip strength? I'm not talking about working forearms but grip strength. I went bowling Saturday and gripping that damn ball made my forearm sore like a mofu. That pretty much disgusted me so I thought I'd ask if anyone trains for grip strength. Is there a major difference between strong forearms and grip strength?

Only thing I do is shrugs and dl's. They've really helped build my forearms. Sometimes I like to tie a 10lb weight to a string attached to a db handle and twist it up or use the hand grippers but that's about all.

From my understanding they may build muscle and strength, but the repetitive motion can give you carpol tunnel (sp?). I could be wrong but I remember hearing that not too long ago, I would assume from this site.

1)do wrist curls, either with a) your forearm on your thighs while seated on a bench with palms facing up and curl your wrists up towards the ceiling, b)stood holding barbell with both hands behind you, palms facing backwards and curl up. 2) reverse wrist curls - same as method 1 a) except with palms facing down.

All you need is a straight bar you can hang from, like a pull up bar ect. The first step is just to grab the bar and hang upside down with your knees tucked to you chest. Your trying to get 60 sec in one go if you dont get it, take a small break go back and do it again adding up your totals untell you get the full 60. Once you get the full 60 in one go forget about the tuck you start rolling your hips down tell your back is flat then start all over trying to get to 60. There are like 8 steps or so will see if i can find a link. Last edited by Gainward : 08-30-06 at 09:01 PM.
