jvance Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Plate curls are one of the best exercises you can do for your hands. Keep it up, I've found that regular plate curls induce constant PRs. Holds for time at strict angles also really toughen the tendons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try doing the 25 pound plate using my thumb and 2 fingers! You will feel the pressure in the finger joints! Thanks! I love doing isometric training!

jvance Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 It will in just about every aspect; 2 hand pinch and lifting the inch are both very wrist strength intensive. Your overall hand strength will increase across the board if you work this movement regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
