curls

[blut wump]

I do deadlifts for forearms. They also get worked strongly, even with straps, during power shrugs and DB side bends and, to a lesser extent, doing squats and bench. Force your hands to have to hold tightly to a heavy weight and your grip and general forearm strength will soar. Use a simple overhand grip on deadlifts on the weights that you are able to.

I avoid allowing exercises like curls to eat into my recovery.

i've only just started curling, been sticking to the compounds pretty much since i started lifting and felt like adding a bit of vanity work I found the pain first started from racking/unracking pre-weighted barbells with my hands palm upwards. Took a couple of weeks out of the gym to fully let it recover and its certainly better but still niggles a bit.
