Lately I’ve been breaking my volume of chin ups throughout the session.
I’ll do between 20 and 50 total reps, go hit shoulders, wrist curls, and then go back to hit another 20-50.
It’s a doble session, so I am getting more quality chins in, but here’s where the real value lays ;
Doing some challenging wrist curls before you do all your chins makes it far more useful for grip.
Chins aren’t terribly hard for grip, nor are the wrist curls, but by going back to back the level of difficulty goes way up. You’re now doing chins with prepumped forearms.
The combination puts beef on the wrist flexors, it’ll add some meat to your forearm measurement.
Outside of manual labor, and ridiculous amounts of axle pulling, this is the one of the best things I’ve found for the hands.
And another discovery ; one can take a handle usually used for cable flys or one arm rows, move the plastic to straighten the rope, choke up on it, and with the inspiration of either arm wrestling or sledgehammer levering use cables at the gym to train every angle of wrist levering possible.
Forearm work is both serious business, and highly enjoyable.
Refuse to have girly wrists!
