It's definitely a multifaceted activity that incorporates a lot of different things, and it's cool that we are getting more content and channels that illustrate this. Cheers!

Geek Climber it was a video he did on the scapula and how it’s the most used thing in climbing but barely anyone warms it up. I did his scapula warm ups and my shoulder got better and better and better until the pain just went away. He is legit when it comes to prehab. This series kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZN-ZbmhxJ3Tkqc.html is probably worth $100 visit to a sports massage therapist.

When I do them, I extend my arms straight out and rest them on something like the top of a treadmill or safety bar on a squat rack. This eliminates your shoulders and traps from getting involved allowing you to solely focus on the forearms which is your main goal for strengthening.

bodybuilders seeking max growth will throw in more sets, maybe 8-10, might do them 4 times a week, micht train the flexors too with the roller, always start rolling from a platform so you can keep arms around waist level and unroll without touching the floor. Start with the extensors because it tends to be weaker less meaty part of the forearm (eliminate the weak link first) plus you pump up the brachialis semi-isometrically too! every third workout do supersets by pairing extensors-flexor sets together this will really engorge the forearm full of blood, time under tension is more important than weight here, you use the other 2 workouts to build more progressive weight overload in the extensors/flexors seperately combined you create good synergy to progress in total workvolume.

Well-Happy New Year! gift - the gift of self improvement. Awesome video as always. Darn it - rollers are sold out 😖 but I will wait for it. 🤩 Nay sayers are a waste of time and F them-over compensating for their own inadequacy. The power of believing in something works is more powerful than the act; “You are the Placebo - making your mind matter”, Dr. Joe Dispenza, was a great book. We never really know how much we limit our potential with self imposed obstacles. So as usual, you got me (wrist) rolling (with it). 🤣🙏

@chaosevolution Жыл бұрын
Problem with most rollers is that the wire coils up towards one side. So the weight is not even distributed on both arms. I guess you could turn the bar around so it coils on the opposite side. So instead of curling back and being left dominant, you would it around and curl forward and be right dominant. I curl up and down.
