Anton - straight up the most pleasant, charming and chill strong dude on the internet.

Best forearms I've seen was a waiter at Black Bear Dine in Idaho Falls. Amazing. And I was in the military, saw tons of outstanding forearms. Was around pro bodybuilders, but this guy for some reason had some insane forearms. And so I asked, "how'd you get those?" He said he was a framer in construction which reminded me of other insane forearms I've seen and those guys were also framers. When I was a kid I grew up around framers and carpenters and I used to have to stack a lot of lumber. There's something about having to handle boards that forces your grip and forearms to grow and I learned from that, that volume is key. You really can't over train forearms and calves, in my experience. The only other person I've seen that had forearms like that worked on a drilling rig and he had to handle these massive pipes of drill stem. The diameter forces you to rely on forearm movement to handle it. And again, tons and tons and tons of volume because every shift this went on and on and on, all night. My advice, lift weighted 2X4s and increase the diameter of all the grips in this video by a factor of at least two. Anything that has a smaller diameter than say 4" is probably too small if you really want to isolate the forearms muscles. Just my experience.

5:38 Time to superset my hugs & handshakes 🤔 😅

My way to go for strong, big forarms and at the same time strong grip, is climbing. Plus, is fun 😊.

Ah yeah guys you gotta bunch and scrunch up all that meatabolic fore arm tissue against itself, all the meat'ness and such, then you half ass that measuring tape around the bulbousness of mighty meaty meat to get that 18" forearm measurement. My man Russell wasn't given a fair measurement! 😂

Big forearms are awesome, mine blew up when i started construction/plumbing. you do alot of forearm "training" daily on construction sites

Dang man. I’m 225lbs. I don’t think I will ever hit that. But I do take pride in my forearms and hand muscle after being a massage therapist for 15 years. That’s my secret technique

I enjoy these videos, but my thumbs are so arthritic now that I really can’t workout too well anymore 🤷‍♀️ C’est la vie! There’s still so much out there to enjoy 😁

I have been bouldering for 2,5 years now. My bodyweight is ~98-100kg (220lbs) and we recently got a dynomometer at the gym. I got to 77 kg (170lbs). It is really insane how you guys got the forearms of dudes weighing so much more, but it shows that weightclass is definetly a factor. Most active climbers at the gym can consistently do 2/3 of their bodyweight, and trained people can reach 3/4 of their bodyweight, but from that point it plateaus hard. Getting anything above 3/4th of bw is very strong. 1/1bw is godlike imo, almost unreachable. It is insane to me how you guys get to within 10% BW. It baffels me.

new exercises i got to try out thanks!

I've been doing something similar that I double with another exercise. I do barbell curls overhand. At first you will barely even get a workout from your biceps because your forearms are so weak. then they will catch up and you'll find the other cool thing about the exercise. You biceps need a certain amount of wrist twist when the load is at 90deg, and overhand gives you a good deal of this (cables might be better). But at the same time as you get to the point whre you start feeling your long head getting worked your forearms will be growing well too. For sets eps I am just using an empty bar. 100 reps mostly 15 rep sets and I clip the range to just the middle 70%, so I stop before the bottom and top the keep the load one the whole time. Excellent results. I made the approach based on a bunch of recent 'backed by science' video's. Dr Gainz was on source. Ryan Humiston was another. Give it a try for one set and see how hard it is.

I get decent forearms from weighted pullups (bar or rings), now im starting to do isolated forearm training, lets see what happen

Looks like I'm buying myself a roce bucket

Early signing in!

2:05 that’s an awesome tattoo. I love LOTR

Good video. Really interesting stuff lots of good advice. Arm Wrestlers are also another good source of ideas for big arms. As you'd expect there is a lot of cross-over with what the Arm Lifters do. My personal theory is that volume is the key to big forearms; if you look at anyone who trains their grip almost daily either deliberately like an Arm Wrestler or just as part of their job/sport like Climbers they have massive forearms; Climbers have crazy crazy grip strength and they all have insane forearms. The thick grip i think is key; climbers have to grip hold of rocks of all sizes and Arm Wrestlers train with multi-spinners and thick handles just like the Arm Lifters were doing here... so for me, that's the magic sauce for big arms.

That forearm size estimation is impressive, clearly years of experience 💪

"Superset of hugs and handshakes." Hahahahahahaha

Good stuff brother

Farmer's carry and wrist rolls are good. Dead Hangs too.

Hi everyone !

The Wrist Curlsl aways do in your behind because in this position, only the spine and waist are heavily loaded and this can cause injury This exercise is usually done standing with the back, not the front

YES

Yes

🔥🔥🔥🔝

0:48 this is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while lol “esss not coooked”

Anton secretly has the biggest arms too.. What a humble guy

Please make a video specifcly on finger strength if possible. Thanks.

Excellent vidéo.the volume comes thanks to strenght and power.i have a question.is epicondylitis is fréquent to them ?

The rice bucket jut made me think of old Shaw Brothers martial films.

I like this type of video

yes

woo i have the same strength as Anton 🎉 i have the exact same grip measure tool as in the video too :D

5:01 both hers and yours 5:11 looked amazing in that excercize ! Better than regular flexing. Only Forearms yes lol. Many people have gag accounts and never post nudes or even half nude - just random stuff.

Yay!

I vote yes

5:15 mostly bicep and shoulders exercise

Great video Anton! Which rice gives the best pump, jasmine or basmati?

Would be good to compare this with the strength of pro arm wrestlers, or alternatively CoC grippers. Some power-lifters close a CoC No. 2.5 (237lb) (and sometimes 3), as if it were elastic.

What if you don’t have an axle bar what’s the best alternative

What country are you from Anton?

“This how you feed your forearms, right?.” His laugh after that😂

Can you do the shame exercises on the rise bucket with sand in the bucket and have the same benefits?????

calisthenics pulls, the volume is there and the tension. You also get more done than just focusing on your grip only

Damn he guessed the size of his arms.. 33 cm.. i guess you could say he has "an eye for arms" (fore arms)

Idk. I never train forearms, my wrist are ultra skinny, but when i messure my forearms like in the videos i have 34cm. (I train for 10years now and only skipped when sick, to put my training in perspective). What i am pointing at, is, that it may not be neccessary to train them isolated but idk, in the end my grip is super weak, so if you want to be grip strong, it might be a greater motivator than size :D

Forearm size is an interesting metric. I don't work out or train, but I do work with my hands a lot (I'm an electrician) and I just measured my forearms at around 31 cm (bodyweight 79 kg). I'd be curious to see how my grip and crush strength are but I don't have any equipment ha ha

Any tips to help tennis elbow?

So what was the "easy way"? I missed it

What do you think about barbell static hold to improve grip strength?

This is my second video this morning with a rice bucket in it...... Guess i gotta go get a 20# bag of rice 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Anton do you feel crushing strength is really trainable? It really seems mostly genetic and training only makes marginal improvements

Hey you should make a video about whether you can pull someone up with one hand when they are hanging off a ledge or cliff like in the movies. Just an idea 🙂

i want a hug

🎉🎉🎉🔥🔥

RGT Pulls are basicly Cupping Training for ArmWrestling.

I have 37,5 cm forearm. Is that good?

I just measured my forearms. They are 33cm. And I never train them. They are that big just from my regular workouts, pull ups, deadlifts etc. So whats the deal?

Only Forearms 🔥

Moldavia!!!!!!!!

💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Anton has show-worthy forearms...those other guys not so much even though they are strong from training arm lifting.

Everyone can get improvement of the strength by training. But to get beefy or supergrip forearms good genetics is required.

I can't do the rice bucket. I'm on a low-carb diet!

First? Ps hi Anton!

I'm sure it would be worse and unpleasant but I wonder if anyone has tried a rice bucket with actual cooked rice. Might feel kinda good actually. Maybe as a cooldown 😂

Im 18 years old and i do 72.3 kg i want to improve it to 80kg

“Is it a raisin?”

Мне прям интересно стало, померял свое предплечье - 37 см. Это не на пампе, но я и не сухой нифига) Жаль нет этой штуки, которая силу хвата меряет, есть эспандер 45 кг и он слишком изи, все никак новый не куплю.

How many cm is anna's forearm, anton?

Idk if Anton ever heard this, but to me he looks a lot like a character called Sportacus from a show called Lazy Town 😂

Can’t you just use a dumbbell? I turn my wrist while doing a concentration curl.

The easiest way to build your forearms... Work as a carpenter.

my buddy is a tall slim 62 yr old with insane forearms. like, bigger than these guys with a big vein-y sack o meat hanging under and it's nuts. he doesn't lift anything. i mean he's athletic but it's all genetic. it's like those guys with big round shoulders who have never been in a gym. kinda makes you sick. i don't know if his grip strength is even strong, but the aesthetics are crazy.

🇨🇵👍

For the algorithm 🤩🥰💪🫶😁😎👌🥸🤓🥳🫡

Armwrestling is the best forearm builder 💪🏻😎

Sheckssy

These guys have smaller forearms than Anton

Farmers carry?

None of them have big forearms

Our hosts 4arms look ok, kinda, but the other 2 people? Why would anyone take hypertrophy advice from them?

Arm wrestling

Gonna be honest. I don't know anyone who would be interested in purchasing forearm content.

Gotta try to wash your clothes with your hands, gonna feel the burn too

If they just shut up and talked, without the hahaha. And whats the chick doing there?

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

The armlifting dude with mustache doesn't have impressive forearms imo.

That arm looks kinda gross. Like something from a horror movie.

you are so unfunny

.🦾💪🦾💪.

Big forearms : 33 cm 🫠

OnlyForearms T.T

YES
