To me they seem like one of those exercises that if you are a pro BB and needed to bring forearms up, go ahead but for the rest of us as if you could be fucking bothered. Do any other exercise that involves grip and you will get good enough forearms.

No I'm not cambodian
I do them, my grip strength has gone up considerably since I added them in (I call the ones I do forearm curls). But I also do them a bit different to normal, I grab my barbell and stand up letting my arms hang down as if I was gonna do a curl but than I lower the bar down my fingers and bring it back up by squeezing the bar hard and curl it as far as my wrist will allow holding for 2 seconds and repeating. I do 50kg on the Texas bar, and my hands are on the knurl where it starts. I do a couple sets of 12-15 reps. I got showed this off a guy who once was a powerlifter in the old days and he said that's exactly how he managed to bring his grip strength up besides doing heavy deads etc. Its a great assistance exercise and I can attest to them working because my grip strength was very week before, and held me back considerably on my Deadlift, but now its way better and my last 1rm I had great grip, now I just gotta work on other areas.

man that sheiko translation is hilarious
bending with the rod on the spin = squats
thrust camp = deadlift
took me ages to figure it the fuck out
I found this setup to work well
Wrap a rope to the centre of a dumbbell or straight pipe. attach weight to the other end. Use wrists and forearms to roll the pipe lifting the weight off the ground.
Ideally the length of rope should be long enough so you can keep the forearms at perpendicular to the midsection.
