Forarm developmen...static holds or curls??

[zedhed]

So what works best for you,
Static Holds with dam heavy weights..
or..
Good old wrist curls, normal grip, reverse grip?

I wanna know cuz mine are way less then spectacular.

Pinwheel curls and heavy barbell wrist curls to failure. Sometimes Dbell curls with forearm supported by bench and wrist hanging over edge. Occasionally reverse curls from the lower pulley when I'm isolating or adding widowmakers

Nothing works for me. Giant sets, high rep, low rep heavy weight u name it. I get a great pump and go until I can barely hold the bar. Not much growth happens.

Ok so looks like both of yous do reps and sets of various wrist curls. Me too...BUT gonna stop that and start doing just overhand curls and tons of static holds. Something completely new for me at any rate.

Meadows says High rep short rest between sets reverse curls. He also uses hammer curls I can't do any unilateral work so I can't speak to those the reverse curls def. Hit the forearm.

My friend I work out with has these massive 16 inch forearms so I've been doing what he does. All he uses is a cable machine with a handle grip. 4 sets of 10 as heavy as possible curling the wrist in towards the body, 4 more sets curling down and then switch to the straight bar and another 4 sets palms down curling up. Works damn good! Give it a try!

Re: Forarm developmen...static holds or curls??

They are pretty genetic controlled like calves, this is one muscle group I don't have to directly work, This is no bs they were 17 1/2 at once, I will have to post a wrist to forearm ratio pic, it freaks people out.(even now) Lots of heavy lifting really helped mine lifts where you use a lot of weight and have to grip,(deadlift,rows,pulldowns etc..) I would also carry dumbbells back to the rack with just a couple fingers, to strengthen my hands, (depending on what kind of dumbbells you have). Oh yah I did jerk alot, my sex drive was insane when I was younger...
