Barbell / Smith Machine STATIC HOLDS For FOREARMS

[MonStar1023]

I was curious if these are good or bad? And also I am wondering how long should each static hold be? For examply me 350 lbs. hold might only be like 10-15 seconds!

My understanding is that power holds are a good supplemental exercise to use for the deadlift if you have trouble holding on to the bar for the entire duration of a set.This is for people who use the standard grip, not the mixed grip.The time you hold the bar for should be atleast as long as the average duration of your work sets.A good way to do power holds is to use a thick bar or wrap a big towel around the bar.This really taxes the grip.
