Forearms and "Wrist Roll Ups"

[Y_lifter]

I've been working on gaining strength from the Elbow down and remember in H.S doing wrist rollups.
Major Burn in the forearms...

I asked the trainers at my Y if they had a setup to do them.
I got a look of

A short handle and a 6ft piece of rope to tie a plate onto was all I needed.

Today I brought in my own setup and left it with them.

Standing on a 2ft high Step I could only make it down and up
5 times for each front/reverse grip with a 45 plate.
Make sure you lower it down slowly under control instead of just letting it unroll back down.

Give them a try.... Better than DB or BB wrist curls IMO

I get scared because it feels like the muscles in my forearms are going to pump up so big that my skin will split.....i love using them

I love them.

Apparently Lee Priest hangs a 45 off his balcony and does them.

Been using mine more lately...feel it more in my hands though...maybe because I was using a 3.5" pipe...

I've been watching people use my Setup at the Y the last couple of days.
Big mistake I see them making is at the top, letting the weight just drop and unroll back to the bottom.

I show as many as I can how to lower it back down to the floor under control for double the pain/pleasure...
