Give me some ideas of things you’ve done in your routines that smoked your forearms and hands/wrists.
You can leave out heavy deadlifts and static holds for reasons I don’t want to even get into, but safe to say I was convinced over a very long discussion that deadlifts are terrible for arm wrestling.
What apparatus? What techniques with plates, dumbbells, etc?
I’ve been digging my hand through a 5gal bucket of rice each day, and I’ll tell ya what, it’s no joke. Depending on how you “swim” your hand through it, you can get a complete hand/wrist/forearm workout. Super setting that with sledgehammer rotations side to side and also rising (think holding a sword straight in front of you pointing forwards, and then without moving your arm or elbow, pointing the sword straight up with only your wrist), and then hundreds of partial reps with a light band and blood flow restriction cuffs on.
I don’t care what my arms look like in 2 years, although I imagine they’ll be gnarly and still somewhat aesthetic, so traditional full range shit is out the window, along with anything that doesn’t allow my hand/wrist to stay cupped (no backwards wrist flexion).
I can’t wait to have those forearms that look round from every angle, you know what I’m talking about.
