Addition to my forarm/grip workout?

[Synpax]

Hey,

Currently about every other day I do 4 sets of the following:

20 Wrist curls with a 45 lb bar
20 reverse wrist curls with 15 lbs dumbells

This seems to be showing good results, but there was something I was thinking of of adding. Namely, possibly every day, walking into the gym and just picking up two very heavy weights and holding them for 30 seconds (heavy enough so I would fail at 30 seconds) and then waiting a minute and doing it again and then a third time.

Thoughts?

Good idea. I wouldn't go every day though. Maybe 3 days/week. I really like static holds.

Yo Syn.....for a little twist to your wrist curls next time you do them try the rest pause approach. Do your 20 reps, rest only 10 seconds then rep out to failure, rest another 10 seconds, rep out, 10 seconds, rep out. etc. etc.

They will absolutely smoke your forearms Bro.

Thanks.

Yeah, my weak grip is really starting to frustrate me. I have to use straps to get a good workout for my back on the deadlifts and backlat and shrugs and a few other things, and straps are really inadequate for a lot of things.

Hopefully when I pick up an AAS cycle that will be one area that gets a lot of improvement. Honestly, it's improved a lot so far but still has a huge amount of catchingup to do.

Again, thanks.

Static holds, deadlifts with overhand grip, heavy pullups with no straps, rows with no straps those helped my grip. I personally overtrain my grip if I do any direct work on it, probably because I do heavy farmers and other strongman stuff
