How many members train grip or forearms, to supplement their AW? Do you use grippers, barbell curls or levering a sledge hammer?  |

Cool.  I like to warm-up with some COC or BB grippers, then hit the grip machine hard and then finish with some sledge levering.  Have you found any specific exercise best for AW? I heard mention of curls with an RT or using a grip machine. Thanks! ;D |

Besides Table time with Good pullers......Of course
I would say Towel over knuckle rolls and grippers (used with a bent over wrist) have helped me the most.

Curtis how much weight are you using on the towel over knuckles lift? This is an exercise Im going to hit hard after the irish games tournament in 2 wks.
grippers with a bent wrist are tough as well. Im forced to use a store bought gripper for these.

With one hand, hold a 12 pound sledge by the end and hammer a tire. Try to slow or stop the head of the hammer, just before it touches rubber. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dRNSryzK18 |
