sjansen Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hey, this is my first post, I love this site! For the past 10 years or so I've been doing finger curls. Standing straight up like I'm about to do a shrug, I let the bar roll down my fingers as far as I can, then using just my fingers I roll the weight back up. I usually work up to 225 then do a few drop sets, sometimes working down to an empty bar. I do these at the end of my forearm workout and I get a pump down to my wrists. After a good workout I cant write in my log book and even driving home is a challenge. Does anyone else do these? I never seen anyone do them, but I'd like to know what you serious grip devotees can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Finger curls are a great movement - and 225# is a good weight - I always figured 1 1/2 times bodyweight was a decent goal to shoot for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
