I want to say Alizan. But it really depends on the day, the refs, and the ruleset. But I got my money on Alizan, the way his arms are made and his shoulders. I hope his skills can match the power he looks like he has.
Mr Humiston, you are a rare combination of being an excellent orator, possessing deep knowledge, understanding engaging videography and being genuinely funny! Subscribed!
Hello, Mr. Ryan! I’m from Latvia, I’m 18, and I’ve been watching your content for about four years. I also go to the gym, and you’ve been with me throughout my two-year journey there, helping me become a better version of myself. I stopped hating myself and started to respect myself. I grew up in a household where my stepdad told me I was a piece of garbage, and I began to believe it. I was afraid to try new things, but you helped me realize that I can be better. This might sound weird, but over these four years, you’ve become like a father figure to me. I can see you have a kind heart, and I believe everything you say without a doubt. Thank you for your content; it really helps people.
Another no nonsense workout routine. This is the person who's videos I watch and I truly understand what he is saying, so I bought the 30 day garage routine. Yes it works, just on week 3 and there is a noticeable difference. Worth every penny. Thank you. P.S. I have tried other programs and wasted my money, until now.
This channel has single handedly put me in bankruptcy with unnecessarily necessary gym equipment, I'm in the gym 10 days a week, hitting 473 different muscle groups. I don't know if my dogs ran away or I accidently ate them for protein at this point, and I'm only at home to sleep 7-9 hours. But at least I'm jacked
As an armwrestler, I approve of this video. We didn't talk about volume which, I think is highly important. All those muscles are very small, elongated stripes of muscle. You can train everything that makes your hand close or open everyday or every workouts. You want to train bigger muscles like radio brachialis maybe twice a week just like biceps. Those forearms are sure to blow with the exercises mentioned in this video. Keep blasting them. Usually a series of let's say 5 x 20 reps will have about 10 seconds of rest between sets. The small muscles recuperate super fast and won't grow under normal load and stress. They are made to be used a LOT and so they require big effort and low rest to be stressed enough. On that note, great video !
Great comment. I have been looking for good forearm advice. I don't arm wrestle but want huge forearms. It's good to know that you have to blast them to get them to grow. I feel the same way about my side delts as they are never sore after a normal workout. Any extra advice you have I am all ears!
@@lawdog369 The most underrated muscle to train, that makes your elbow look like a knee is actually the pronator teres. It gives a lot of volume on the interior side of the elbow which, combined to the radio-brachialis, gives a very strong looking joint. Now, if you overtrain your forearm, don't skip a session. Do some blood flow workouts. Just give nutrients to the tendons and let them heal for a couple weeks. Devon Larratt has some amazing videos on the matter as the number 1 armwrestler on the planet, he has lots of pains and aches that he overcomes while getting absolutely massive.
How do you avoid tennis elbow? I started throwing in a wrist curl, reverse wrist curl, and supination forearm day twice a week, three months later had a chronic case of epicondilydis in both elbows, took 6 months of therapy and cortizone shot in one of them for it to go away.
@@Jaqenhgar222 Some people have bigger inflammatory response. I don't know what to say. Personally I was diagnosed a couple of times with epicondylitis but it was most definitly a strain on my radio brachialis just irridating near the epicondyle. Maybe it's what it is.
HOLY SHIT! I actually have the same golfer and tennis elbow issues currently!!! Gonna follow your advice (drop the straps, ease into the smaller muscles, then go for the big stuff)
Hey Buddy ! In armwrestling we have those injuries many times every year. (Bicep tendonitis, epicondylitis, tears) I suggest doing some bloodflow work. You work through the movement that hurt with super light weight with high rep series (50-100). I know it may seem weird but tendons and ligaments aren't very vascularized and will only get nutrients needed through infusion, which, movements will procure. You want to have a little burning sensation and then relax. DON'T OVERSTRESS IT. As soon as you feel the "burn" let it go and count it as a serie. Hope this helps
@@AimbotSammy Awesome thanks! I've tried everything but actually training them.. which now seems obvious. I'll definitely add some daily sessions with this in mind!
@@AimbotSammy This seems to work the best for all tendon issues (atleast for arms). Alex leonidas probably took it from arm wrestling, but he solved his tricep problems by doing high reps of 50-100 for his biceps and triceps. I've had some issues with golfers elbow and high reps, getting a pump even has helped me alot.
@@lukelun It's kind of the basis of physiotherapy, but when people think about physio they think boring stuff, but exercising isn't boring, even less so healing!
Nobody makes me erupt into laughter like this dudes sarcasm, its too good, he always comes out with the most pertinent content too. #1 Fitness "Scientist" on the Tube, but rly he is a professor of workouts hell yeah!
Overhand strict barbell curls are brutal and amazing. I used to do them all the time, Never see anyone doing them now. Also a length of wood with a rope through the centre which you tie a small plate to then hold out in front of you and twist until it hits the floor then wind it back up is a cheap and very effective tool. Essentially does exactly the same and more than that piece of equipment at the end of the video 💸
Oh man you might have just saved my life; I broke my wrist really bad a few years back, and while it has healed fine, according to the doctors, the long healing period pretty much ruined my arm. I have a lot of the same pain you described here in the elbow, and just doing these exercise movements; without weights, actually relieved it quite a bit. I assume the general atrophy of muscle during my injury, followed by basically just doing whatever, has caused a host of uneven muscle use. I’m going to be working on these as best I can with the equipment I have, thats for sure!
And I tend 2 overtrain.When I am home,I overtrain,old school thinking,more is better,at67,not good,get tennis elbo,don't know why,I don't play tennis,lighter wieghts,more reps,always try 2 keep good form,it's making me feel great but tennis elbow is painful,any thoughts on this,thanks,Jim H,67 and still rollin............
@@jimhagan697 I have tennis and golfer's elbow. I do eccentrics (negative reps). look at the link. You can do this with a hammer, a dumbbell with no weights on one side, a piece of pipe, whatever. stretch first. then do a couple sets of 15. Start light. ru-vid.commuYMUmsig8k?si=efLIJjHn_HiQclYG
Wish I knew if this works for those of us not on PEDS . In my martial arts days I’d do an interesting exercise: crumple a newspaper from one corner into a ball (with one hand), flatten it ..rinse and repeat. Thank you for your video. 👍🏽
Don't complicate your forearms training unless you are an armwrestler. The thing that worked for me is at the end of your workout do reverse curl and superset it with behind the back wrist curl. This will completely blow your forearms. (Also forearm is a very stubborn muscle you can train it 3 to 4 times per week)
Are you even close to being near his level of skill and fitness? He is saying the forearms are overlooked, and your comment shows that you fall into this category of trainers. You wouldn't need to train forearms 3x a week if you dedicated a proper program for them. But I guess you know better than him and many other pro athletes
Exactly what I needed. The pronated cable wrist curls to hit the flexor carpi ulnaris and thinking about the angles (flexion, pronation, ulnar deviation), and controlling the eccentric. This is a great video to help strengthen imbalances and fix injuries! Better than most physios on RU-vid tbh.
Loving this video bruv. I am still, after 27 years, trying to grow my left forearm having zero, usable fingers on the left hand. Thumb only. The 3 fingers, palm and knuckles I had rebuilt are stuck in a unusable semi-closed, abnormal position, plus I am not supposed to put more than 5lbs of pressure on them... I do all the time but it hurts a lot. I must use hooks for nearly all pulling exercises. No finger rolls really kills forearm development and before my hand injury my forearms were literally close to the size of my genetically, small calves. Part of that was from being a commercial floor installer for several years. Now, I purposely neglect my right forearm to appear more evenly proportioned. This means my grip strength on the good hand has suffered massive loss. No heavy lifts for biceps curls either. I still get so much out of your videos, Ryan. I can definitely attribute my lat and back growth of the last couple of years, partially to some of your variations that activated the muscles in a way they'd never felt prior... Rant over (This is what happens after being stuck at home still, 8 wks after Rotator cuff Supraspinatus repair and Biceps tenodesis, injuries were nearly 2 years old). Keep em' coming.
Dupuyten's Contracture in my right hand from psoriatic arthritis with my hand 60% closed and the 345 fingers all bent outward I use lifting wraps and hooks all the time. I use rubber weight bands for rehabbing the hand as well.
I admire your effort and attitude. I had ortho surgery over 18 months ago for a completely separated left bicep tendon caused by impacting a steel corner. Tried to resume lifting too soon 5 times and was set back each time. Now I'm able to handle stupidly light weights but strength is returning and I'm increasing slowly. I'm 73 so I have different "problems" than most lifters such as Testosterone that's barely high enough to be called a male.
Been using your tips for back and shoulders, and I'm the strongest and biggest I've ever been. Can't wait to try this tomorrow. Gotta watch more of the older videos. Love the videos and the advice.
No disrespect. Im jumping on TRT with my doctor. Will I go bald? I noticed you and others have went bald but look strong as heck. Does TRT cause hair loss?
Man, you’re preaching to me. I also have golfers and tennis elbow so I start doing a forearm workout 2x a week. This video is just what I need. I already have the app.. (Highly recommend people get it)
I really enjoy the knowledgeable information with the great sense of humor. I don't feel like I'm being talked down to but instead I'm being reasoned with.
Knowledgeable, funny, and built like a beast! Subbed. On the other hand, letting the dumbbell roll to the tip of my fingers effed up my tendons son I'm not trying that anymore
Bro i swear to god i was thinking today when will you upload an forearm video or a biceps and triceps video you came in clutch thanks for the awesome videos you do i always learn alot from them and develop my self from them
Do abs next! Before you say or think anything. I'm an experienced lifter it's just that you are running out of muscle groups to cover and I've had a discussion with some friends over how and what are the best exercises. Anyhow, love the content, keep it up
I have cubital tunnel syndrome that I am in PT for. I had my physical therapist watch this and asked if I should add this in on a rest day with light weights, she said yes but stop if I feel any nerve triggers (that funky not fun tingle feeling). I did it today and I could feel an improvement in my wrist and elbows range of motion. Great stuff! As a bonus I now have a lighter mid week workout to add to the 30 minute workout series.
Ryan you have to try the wrist roller on the end of a barbell. It works wonders on the extensors and also the flexors too if you lower the weight slowly. I'm surprised it didn't make the list but it is a pretty slept on exercise.
I have used swinging between the different positions on a chin up system works, not all gyms have them. Great Vid big lad Go Hard or go somewhere else. I bought the finger flexor trainer based of your review. I know you won’t read this but Thanks for some of the best vids in this niche. I wish there was a .75 speed but only for Ryan’s vids 🤪😎🤣
⁉️ (@11:07) I'm not the expert here, but from my seat, when you demonstrate a hammer curl on this video you'll notice you favor extending your thumbs perpendicular to your hand, which may possibly be partial reason of limited activation to your brachioradialis (hence minimal growth) ... ❓Maybe try wrapping the thumb around the fingers like when you demonstrate a drag curl & simultaneously squeezing the life out that dumbell handle - just a guess. Still, thank you Mr. H. truly I really do appreciate these studied tutorials! You make it worth tuning into.
Thanks for another highly informative and highly hilarious video. You are truly the best fitness "influencer" (even though ur way more than that). Question, though??? Can I start this routine while dealing with tennis elbow in one arm and golfers elbow in the other? Or should i let them heal as much as humanly possible till I break and try the routine??
Supinate or pronate (10:06) off the bench using a kettlebell instead of holding a dumbbell. Also you might try Eagle Loops from Ironmind. I love using mine. I gained a bunch of new ideas from this video though. I always learn some cool new things here. Firing up my welder to make a copy of that wrist trainer this weekend !
my favorite is a superset with the EZ-curl bar (narrow grip portion)... seated reverse wrist curls to failure, then immediately stand up and do standing reverse wrist curls to failure.
Blueprint to big and strong forearms and grip by yours truly❤(sorry Ryan, this is my job now🤣) Why listen to me you might ask . . (Armwrestler, gripsports athlete and been at it since 13 now 28 and oh yeah I can close the Captains of Crush 3.5). 1. Let that forearm hair grow, it makes the forearms look waay bigger😆 2. Put those Fat Gripz on a neutral grip pull up bar and get soreness for the next 4-5 days xD 3. If you use grippers, don't do sets of 50 - 100 except if you're a beginner (after a while try doing sets of 8 - 20 tops. 4. Instead of adding the fat grips to the db and doing curls like that, just add it to a cable machine handle and get way better ergonomics and watch your forearm grow! 5. Use the rice bucket as a warm up for 5min and or as recover on off days. Hope this helps, have fun :D
How often do you train forearms? I've been training them twice a week... relatively good results.. curious to see how many times you train them. Thank you.. great video
He is smart, and specifically targets his lifts for function and looks. But he is a tank because of PED's. Not saying PED's are a miracle drug, he still puts in the work. I have changed a lot of my workouts because of Ryans videos.
I could have used this program 4 hours ago Ryan! Had Leg Day 7 on the scientific program and really wasn't feeling it. Then again.... there's always tomorrow! 😁
