GRIP FREAK Wrist Roller & Forearm Workout Tool

Classic Forearm Training Equipment 

Prior to the creation of common hand grippers, wrist rollers, and a myriad of pinch grip tools athletes and bodybuilders relied upon barbell wrist curls for forearm training. As typically performed with athlete seated upon a bench barbell in hands. With forearms resting atop thighs palms facing up to train Forearm flexor muscles. The bar would then be lowered down to fingertips. To be forcefully curled upwards to a full grip muscle contraction. Often combined with a 2 second squeeze to maximize effect. A typical barbell grip workout would consist of 3-4 sets of 15-20 repetitions. As required to adequately challenge and condition the high endurance muscle groups of forearms, wrists and hands. To train the forearm extensor muscles, the same athlete body position on bench would apply, However, this time the forearms would be reversed and positioned flat on thighs. With barbell hooked and hanging in fingertips, palms facing athlete knees, A reverse barbell wrist curl would then be applied raising the bar as far as possible. While keeping forearms flat on the lifters thighs to set completion. Dumbbell wrist curls were every bit as popular for singling out left & right forearms to correct balance issues. Or to amplify dynamic training effects not afforded by a two-hand grip on a barbell. As well a dumbbell head could be held in hand and the remainder curled with wrists rotating in multiple directions to mimic sport specific movements.  

Enter the Wrist Roller Grip Trainer

In reference to actual exercise equipment designed and created for Forearm Workouts, that which comes to mind for most is the traditional Forearm Wrist Roller from days of old. Moderately effective Grip Exercise Tools that were often no more than a shaft handle. With rope or strap attached to the center. To which hopeful grip strength enthusiasts would attach a weight plate. With arms straightened and extended away from the body, the shaft in hand would then be twisted. By alternately raising and lowering the palms upon handle. To achieve a twisting of rope on spool effect that slowly raised the weight plate from floor to shaft. Typically performed for several sets of 15-20 repetitions. This humble hand grip strengthener over time became a popular option. To standard barbell and dumbbell wrist curls. That said despite multiple superficial design updates, generic wrist rollers maintained a glaring design issue. One that proved to be a real pain in the delts and Best Forearms Workout destroyer!

Forearm Workout Equipment has its limits

Growing a set of thick, powerful forearms and a tap out sport grip requires bodybuilder precise muscle targeting. To maximize strength and growth. As combined with lateral dynamic motion. An essential exercise component traditional Grip Workout Tools lack. That unleashes movement and muscles to engage resistance via multiplane angles of attack. Which in turn serves to sports condition grip, hold, and striking muscles of the forearm's wrists and hands. So, while barbell, dumbbells, and simple Roller Wrist Workouts can be effective, they are hardly optimal. Especially when considering training time investment versus returns. Problem being barbells and dumbbells constrict movement to a single plane of motion. Thereby limiting overall grip conditioning effects to a single plane. Same applies to the common self-supported Forearm Wrist Roller. As those types of Hand Grip Strengtheners require shoulders to bear the full weight of roller, weight plate, and outstretched arms. While hardly providing for a state of dynamic exercise motion to occur. Even worse, shoulder fatigue becomes the limiting factor with regards to Forearm Wrist Roller workout rep counts. For shoulders most certainly tire long before fatigue resistant muscles of the Forearms, Wrists, and Hands ever get close. Which is most certainly not optimal.

A Forearm Blaster that retained the strengthening aspects of traditional wrist rollers and weights. Yet negated all drawbacks associated with Barbells, Dumbbells, and common Forearm Workout Equipment.
