Forearm strength

[Russinating]

Played squash for the first time for a year the other day and my forearm's took a beating. I've got a chin/pull up bar that can be used on the floor too, so what can I do with this and/or with anything else to specifically improve forearm strength?

Chins.
Could do some wrist rolls if you have a db or bb.

Barbell forearm curls is also a good'n.

Wrap something around your chin-up bar to make the grip thicker and then chin/pull-up or just some static hangs.

Get a garage project and get spannering

Or alternatively take up some serious DIY.

Either of those will put some serious strength into your hands.

Pull ups, but throw a towel over the bar and grip it to pull your self up

Cheers for all the tips, should get me started .

Hammer Curls.

Chins aye, I'm so **** at chins. I've tried getting better to no avail. Lost all my upper body strength since I stopped climbing.

Have a look at http://www.fiftypullups.com/.

On this note, can anyone recommend a chin up bar? A few I've tried never seem to stay up properly.

Have you tried the iron gym?

It works well for me.

I'm not sure it will stay up on the door frames I have.

Just thought I'd update this..I did get the Iron Gym, and can fit it on only one door in my house .

Any way, I basically told myself that I'd do 3 chin ups every time I went past it, and I've been good to that so far. I'm now up to being able to do 10 before failure, which isn't as strong as I used to be but it's a damned sight better then recently .

Hammers curls are good as mentioned. I love farmers grips is it?

Anyway i stand up gripping a heavy plate in each hand, until i can't tolerate no more.

Works great for me, my grip strength in lifts has always hampered things, now it's made quite a difference.
