the elbow never moves, so nothing but the forearm flexors can contribute: the
only way to load them directly
one of the three rows in the catalog where grip failing is the point rather
than a problem to strap around
Execution
Sit on a bench and rest your forearms along your thighs with your palms facing
up, wrists hanging just past your knees, holding a barbell or dumbbells.
let your wrists extend fully, allowing the bar to roll towards your fingertips
curl your wrists up as far as they go
lower back down under control to full extension
keep your forearms flat on your thighs throughout
let the bar roll down the fingers at the bottom for the extra range
The range here is tiny, so the stretch at the bottom is most of what you get.
Rolling the bar into the fingers is worth more than adding weight.
