>Finally achieved forearm DOMS again
Take the fricking wrist roller pill now, if your gym doesn’t have one. Then either buy one or make one, you literally only need some cylindrical object+a rope+a relatively light weight

What sort of weight should I be using for this? I have all the materials
I think around 2,5kg-10kg, if you’re really struggling to roll the weight up right at the start then you can probably frick up your tendons or wrists, but if someone makes gains by going heavy on these they can correct me
How long should the rope be?
ideally so they reach up to your shoulders, but longer and shorter should do the trick as well
Pro tip keep your arms to your Lars so your shoulders aren’t kill
>keep your arms to your Lars
what if I don't have Lars? Where do I keep my arms?
If you don’t have lars use a James

and you??
I have a wood dowel. How do I secure the rope in the middle? Surely if I drill a hole it will end up snapping from the weight pretty quickly no?
What is the width of the dowel? I wouldnt recommend anything broom handle or smaller for this.
About broom handle
I wouldn't risk drilling then. I'd come up with an alternative way to attach it or find a thicker tube. A 50mm scaffolding pole would be good. Extra girth for bigger forearm workout also. You might find cut offs at a fabrication company as a lot use 50mm rolled steel tubes in their builds
>buy generic kitchen drawer handle from hardware store
>attach to dowel via woodscrews
Wa la.
Just experiment. Make some knots, adjust tightness with one or two of pic related, maybe try superglue or really strong tape, use any combination of these or anything else you can come up with until it stays in place
I just tied it on then wrapped the knot in tape so it doesn't slip
you can alternatively just wring a towel
you can also fill a bucket with rice, put your hand in it, then just open and close your hand and extend and flex your wrist as you do so
DOMS does not indicate muscle growth
No DOMS doesn't always mean no muscle growth but having DOMS definitively does indicate some level of muscle growth, sure you're not getting your reddit facts confused?
Post forearms with hands
do they have one that will balance a dumbbell I don't have any kettlebells because i'm not a homosexual
you don't need balance, in fact through I'm thoroughly convinced that forearms grow better when working with uneven resistance that you have to partially balance yourself
Just tie a rope around a dumbbell... It should find the center of gravity and autobalance.
no wrist rollers in my gym unfortunately
I will build one tm
Bought this like a month ago and they still haven't shipped it out these fricking Black folk
I have one. Pretty based when I use it regularly. Back when I was climbing it singlehandedly kept my wrists healthy and happy
>single-handed wrist-rolling
What did he mean by this
Imagine just swinging this into your balls wouldn't that hurt?
That often happens unfortunately but your ballsack will develop calluses to lessen the impact
Do this same action with an empty barbell. Do it backwards and forwards like you are rolling something up or twisting a newspaper. Thank me later.
Based thread. I love the burn this gives me. Alteratively, just screw a lot of screws with a screwdriver, gives sort of the same feeling
