First, let's look at the benefits of forearm muscles. Forearm muscles are really not that conspicuous. Many exercises require holding dumbbells or barbells with both hands. Sometimes you may feel that your grip strength or stability is not enough and need to be strengthened. At this time, we need to strengthen our forearm muscles. The strength of a forearm muscle group can directly affect the training intensity and safety of other muscles. Developed forearm muscles are of great help to improve the strength of muscle groups in various parts.
How do we train forearm muscles? Speaking of training, many people know that holding the barbell wrist up with both hands and returning to the starting position is well known. What we need to know is why this training can improve our forearm muscles. Knowing these movements, whether taught by others or thought by yourself, can improve your forearm muscles.
When it comes to forearm muscles, the first thing I think of is palmaris longus, which is a long muscle from elbow to wrist. For example, unimportant tissues such as suspension and rock climbing can't be done without palmaris longus. Its main function is that the palm at the front end of both ends can hold the instrument for a long time to prevent the blood vessels and nerves in the palm from being compressed, and the elbow at the back end can drive the forearm to move up and down.
How to train palmaris longus and forearm muscles? Barbell arm bending can train our big arm and forearm muscles. When doing barbell standing or sitting posture, our abdomen is constantly tightening, and some fixed instruments such as arm bending can train our forearm muscles. For example, some mechanics have muscular forearms, which need to be repaired and decorated with wrenches for a long time. You can also try more team activities, including rock climbing and so on, which can improve the forearm muscles very well.
Then there are some individual training methods. First of all, we can use barbells and dumbbells to lift the muscles inside the forearm and exercise the extensor muscles outside the forearm. Of course, whether you want to train the muscles of your forearm to tuck or tuck, you need to lift your forearm to a position close to your thigh or stool, so that your forearm is in a peak contraction state, then stop standing and slowly return to the starting point. When training forearms, pay attention to choosing relatively light gravity. Each group of movements is about 12 times, and you will exert your strength throughout the practice. Finally, you will find that your forearm has this obvious expansion change, which is particularly hard and has a strong sense of tension. You will feel particularly good after practicing your forearm.
