    My Homemade Rack Mounted Wrist Rollers (pics)

    If you have a power rack with safety bars , these are great. So cheap and easy to make and a genuinely great forearm workout, not to mention lots of fun.

    wrist curls

    I had no idea there was such an exercise until a random mate came to the gym with me. Anyone actually do these things? He says "best way to get big forearms". I said "do pullups". He did 2.5 pullups.
