Forearm Training Planner

Strong forearms don’t just improve your grip — they enhance your overall strength, control, and aesthetic balance. This planner targets wrist flexors, extensors, and the brachioradialis to build dense, functional forearms that carry over to every lift and real-world task.

What This Planner Includes:

Grip-specific training to improve lifting performance and hand strength

Wrist curls, extensions, and rotational work to develop full forearm size

Static holds and carries for endurance and muscular density

Functional drills that support deadlifts, pull-ups, and combat sports

Scalable workouts for all levels — beginner to advanced athletes

Tip: Click a workout title to expand/collapse. Keep quality high; full recovery between heavy or peak sets.

Level 1 — Beginner

Alternate flexion and extension to balance the wrist; keep forearms supported to limit cheating.

Neutral wrists on hammer curls; avoid shrugging during fatigue.

Level 2 — Intermediate

Choose a path with space; stay tall with scapulae depressed during carries.

Pinch holds are skill-based; start conservative and progress duration before load.

Level 3 — Advanced

Use straps only if forearm pump limits safe shoulder/scap position.

For sledgehammer work, choke up to shorten the lever until control is perfect.

Keep form pristine in high-rep sets; stop before wrist pain or numbness.

Notes

Balance flexion/extension and pronation/supination across the week. Keep wrists neutral (no excessive bend) under heavy loads. Progress time/distance on carries before load. Deload every 4–6 weeks or when grip quality drops.
