Reply With QuoteIf its too much for a single rep then lighten the weight you are using so you can complete a set.
Are you using 2 hands? 2k is just a few pounds, hard to imagine anyone being tired after one twist?
I've seen kids at the gym who are probably around 12 years old with 25 pounds hanging off their dowels (around 11kg).

Grip exercises
HI,
I have made mtself a wrist roller using a piece of 1.5inch pipe and some string.
My question is how do you guys use this? I am using 2kg and my forearms are toast after one 'rep'. How heavy are you guys going?

I have a feeling by rep he means that he pulls the weight up all the way and lets it back down.Originally posted by Mudge

Don't worry about the weight, your forearms will grow quickly with this type of direct stimulation. I just recently started doing wrist curls and reverse wrist curls. I only do one or two sets of each and I have noticed a difference in terms of grip strength.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

One rep is all the way up. It just seems to torch my forearms. I will keep increasing the weight by 1 kilo a week and see how I go,
