dennisb Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I was online the other night and i stumbled upon a website, that offered some old strongman training techniques. The one exercise that looked the most effective to me was this. Dumbell rotation exercise. Its is harder then it may seem. Ill explain how to conduct the exercise. 1.) Get a Hex dumbell 2.)Sit on a chair at a table of your choice. 3.)Place elbow on table,Postion arm as if you are going to Armwrestle someone. 4.)With your palm facing up at the cieling,Place one end of the Hex dumbell in it. 5.)Now squeeze the one end of the dumbell.and begin to rotate the wrist/palm. 6.)Rotate the wrist/palm in both directions.Clockwise then counter clockwise. 7.)Work both hands/wrists and adjust dumbell weight to get at least 10-12 rotations per hand. This is very usefull for wrist and grip strength. Its harder then it sounds give it a try tell me what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
