Anyone actually workout their wrists? (besides masturbation) - Page 2

Well, my version of static hold is to load up my farmers walk handles w about 150 lbs on each (total about 350 w handle weight included), pick them up, and fuckin hold them for as long as I can at my sides, with my shoulders back. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've always interpreted static hold to mean "just hold it".

in the unlikely possibility your gym has kettlebells, they do a great job on your wrists.

squats screw up your knees; deadlifts ruin your back - still to wrist curls and calf raises and nothing else

I have since replicated it with a 1.5ft piece of pipe (I'd say it is probably 2" diameter). Drilled a hole through one side in the middle and fed in a piece of spectra line with a figure eight at the end to stop it from coming out. I usually just tie the other end of the rope around something that seems like a good weight (a nalgene bottle...fill to the desired weight). I then hold the bar straight out (so that I am not using my arms to lift but rather my wrists/forearms) and twist it until the rope is fully wrapped up and the weight is at the bar and then I twist it back down with tension on my muscles (dont just let it spin in your hands). Once it hits the bottom, I keep twisting in the same direction so that it comes up but with the rope wrapped around in the opposite direction. If you looked from the side, I would call a series of clockwise up, counterclockwise down, counterclockwise up, and clockwise down a full set. Adjust the weight so you can do a few of these.
+1. This stuff was bread 'n butter for the lacrosse team in hs and college. Back then I saw some pretty impressive forearms. Genetics are key though.

The wrists get plenty of action while doing forearm exercises.
