Wrist Curls

I have no idea why i ever did these. I work on my grip now instead of focusing on my forearms. Pinching the plates and and holding until my the weight drops.... Hands burn and ache but already in three weeks i see a diference...

Standing DB curls- never got anything out of those, Incline DB curls-same. Wide grip pulldowns, DB presses weren't effective either.

Seriously bro? Wrist curls are great for me but I agree totally that grip work is EXCELLENT when it comes to developing your forearms.. I just started to incorporate static holds into my forearm training..

okay and the other exercises that are useless for me, well i dont' really do much i find useles... i like hack squats but i always feel like my feet are slipping out from under me, there's not a good grip on the pad on the one at my gym... just starting to get the hang of front squats (love 'em), not a big fan of dips, but i'm slowly getting the hang of them... sissy squats do nothing for me... don't know if thats me or the exercise...

Why don't you try to use barbell hacks instead of the machine. They really work the quads, (especially the vmo) much better then the machine does.

As far as everyone talking about bent over rows, I use about 315 and have never had a low back issue. When I get heavier I tend to straighten a bit, but never go beyond 60 degrees.

For some reason, lateral DB raises hurt my Elbow joints.
I still do them even so. I keep the arm a little bent forward to help.
