Can also use a dowel (thick handles preferred) with a rope attached to the end of the dowel and a BB plate on the other end of the rope. Just to note, lumber mill and yard workers will have good forearms and grip, from their daily hard work. I fashioned a wrist roller out of 3 in. PVC pipe. It is much more effective than most of the commercially sold versions, which are maybe half that diameter. |

The thicker handle allows less finger leverage, which makes it harder to hold onto the handle. Just holding onto the thing can be a bit challenging. Once you start cranking, your forearms immediately fill with an enormous pump. As I open the Suez Canal to flaming with my last sentence above. |

Montague: If I'm understanding you right, yeah we used the pins like that.
Also used a Olympic bar (just the bar), adjusting the grip from the center out, and did wrist/grip work. Also lot's of ways to make a 10lb plate feel like a 100lbs on certain exercises. Took a Olympic bar, with plates on one end only, stood it on it's end and "walked" the bar up with out hands. Would lower in slowly on the way down. Usually was standing on a bench or box when doing this. Of course the plates were on the bottom end of the bar.
Just to note; seen guys doing one arm curls, with a Olympic bar. Whole new feel to activating muscle fiber that is mostly never approached by regular curling exercises. The question of balance and control was a main factor. Good Luck

My buddy and I tried those a couple of times after reading one of Poliquin's articles. Yes, the weight distribution of a barbell makes that 45 lbs feel very different than simple dumbbell weight. |

That one arm BB curl was impressive when Iwe experimented with them. Hits the forearm and wrist motion strongly, and affected the bicep inserts in a whole new way.
Might be easier with a Olympic bar (better balanced and centered) than a standard exercise bar (1 1/8- 1 1/16) but who said easier is better for developing muscle and strength. We tried them on the basic 45lb bar and took a while to get the balance down. Wonder what that exercise would be like if using a reverse grip on it? Sure some guy's have before. That could prove to be a killer for the whole chain of arm muscles , from finger tips to the upper bicep inserts. Good Luck.
Side Bar: maybe the one arm BB curl was the secret that Joe Weider used to develop the arms of the champions? The secret is out!

Reverse BB Preachers had my arms burning real good while training. Went to failure. Next day wasn't even sore. WTF? I find it hard to get my forearms sore. I trained back that night too. Concentrating on squeezing the grip real hard too to bring the forearms into it. No straps
