building forearms

[WarriorPL]

Okay so i think its been established that static holds are te best for forearm growth and strength. Now my question is, do you do them until failure or until you feel a good burn?
I was doing them the other day on back day, i grabbed 90lb dumbells and i just held them in my hands until my grip gave out and dropped on the floor. I did a nice 4 sets of these and i gotta say, they killed my forearms, but they were sore for 3 days. Is this healthy and can this lead to injury holding them to failure? I have a feeling that it can.

there are many many many muscles in the fore arm. To build massive forarms, you will have to do more than timed holds.

do them till failure, and no you wont hurt yourself

Heh aren't you a special one.

Only reason i'm asking is because i don't want to lead myself to a fucking injury. Best to be sure, no?
Peace.

I thought the rolling eyes was sarcasm which ticks me off.

Thanks for those pics spatts. I usually superset static holds with regular and reverse wrist curls which always seem to do the job. If i had one of those hammer contraptions i'd use it.

I think they're pretty cheap...I'll ask Hannibal where he got it.

Just use a dumbell handle.
they are cheap to buy.....if need be you can tape up one end to thicken it.....or in my case cover the thread (it had screw on collars)

either that or a steel rod (the right width) and two strong collars
