@ben_yanes: In short: load the forearm so that the resistance is pulling directly against pronation or supination. I like to do this with cables (as shown in the video) or by off-setting dumbbells and barbells in my hand. For you physics nerds that are going to talk about how inertia allows the pronators and supinators to get trained when you twist dumbbells around rapidly, I wouldn’t disagree - but I also don’t think that this is the best solution we have to train the forearms because the loading isn’t direct and relies purely on acceleration/deceleration. If we need to rely on the creating momentum/inertia to train a tissue, we’re unlikely to be able to take that tissue to true muscle failure (our ability to generate momentum lowers as we fatigue, which may prevent us from fatiguing a tissue fully).
jokes on you, I always had veins in my forearms. thats how I get blood to my fingers 😎

Love this. Didnt say he was doing it wrong, just said how you could make it even more affective. Well done videos, from both parties

why hasn't anyone brought up the damage you could potentially do to your wrist over time? so perhaps not as an intro

what you think for forearm pain that always hurting? started lifting to heavy back in 2020 and 2021 and every since then it's a problem. Hell just doing hammer curls for example will have me in BAAD

I keep my elbow on my thigh and forearm parallel to the floor and twist slowly to one side, hold then twist to the other. I do this for like 2 minutes straight then take a break. That’s 1 set. 3x10.

Yea I was gonna say, the cable method for this is by far the best imo

In karate, we use a tool called a chi-ishi to do this, and many other exercises. Way more effective for this than a dumbbell will ever be.

Plank with your fingers spread on the floor. It hits your whole arm.

are dumbbell rotations supposed to feel easy or go quickly? using 15 with smaller arms and feels like a breeze, but don't want to overdo it

I was scrolling but didn't see it... you have anything on doing bench dips? I always seem to feel uncomfortable pressure in my shoulders. Keep looking for someone to explain form on them
