I’m putting together something now for the accountability ✅. Summer is hard for me, I tend to move slow in this heat which means I really need to do cardio.
This is really good. Thank you. Forearm strength ties directly to grip strength. And grip strength ties directly to longevity. Not do this just so you live longer, but do this so you can truly actively live longer! I’ve been looking for a good forearm routine. Now I have one. Thank you.
For wrist rockers, especially when using a light dumbbell like I’m currently doing, (because I’m a wimp)I find that if I grab the butt end creating the asymmetric load that you’re trying to achieve with a kettlebell. Obviously, kettlebells are better, but I don’t have one where I am.
Chuckled to see your focus here today, Kyle! I’m rehabbing a “tennis elbow” (for me, swimmer’s elbow) caused by forearm weakness/stiffness. As with 2 rotator cuffs and a hip previously, I was unaware of the atrophy until the pain started. Amazing to do some wrist curls with a little 2 pound dumbbell and feel fatigued after 5 reps! Really satisfying (though painful!) to slow down and focus in on stretching and strengthening the relevant flexors. The results speak for themselves. Thanks for sharing such useful information with your readers! 👏
Whenever someone asks me what I’d recommend for the best activity for full body fitness, I say swimming. That being said, you’ve just demonstrated there will still be parts of the body neglected in whatever our preferred activities and general training methods are. Outside of the neck, the forearms/wrists are up there most of the time.
Not in for this month - I mean, there is already writing of arm wrestling and tools. 😉
Haha no worries! I’ll see what I can come up with for August to see if I can win you back… 😉

Step count goal and/or wear weight throughout the day are two ways to passively get after it if setting aside time for cardio will be tough.
Arm wrestling match at the end of the month.
Haha deal!
Hell yeah! Forearm and grip strength is so underrated! I also like to grip a sledge and windshield wiper left/right. Great stuff!
Mace, sledge, axe, and other objects weighted primarily on the ends are awesome for this stuff!
These are part of my pull-up training. The part I always skip and shouldn’t. I’m in! Thank you!

Thank you too brother. Enjoy

Love it
Thank you for shattering any illusion that I possess strong wrists and forearms. This is a humbling challenge.
Great post as always Kyle! I've ben focusing more heavily on grip strength lately. It is humbling.
Thank you brother. Definitely humbling but already starting to feel rewarding in my dumbass left wrist that I’ve been working around for far too long.

Best of luck in the rehab brother.
Oh, I would bet money it is the Jujitsu and burpees .😉
Haha good betting
We'll do these Monday.
