In the December ’04 Critical Mass I outlined how to build forearm mass; however that was before I discovered a new bar that Jonathan
Lawson and I have been using in our workouts. It’s called the Forearm Bar and it was sent to us by Monster Barbell Co.
It’s a
uniquely angled short bar, shaped like a wide V, with a pin in the middle so you can add barbell plates. You stand gripping
the bar at arm’s length and do wrist curls or reverse wrist curls over a full range. Jonathan and I have been using it along
with X Reps in our forearm routine, and we’ve gotten some wild new detail in our lower arms, not to mention vascularty.
The Unique
shape of the bar enables you to do full-range wrist curls and reverse wrist curls while standing allowing for dramatically increased
forearm muscle activation.
