I started doing this about 10 days ago. The best thing has been that some nagging pains in my elbow and even a swollen finger have almost disappeared. Thanks for putting up this micro-workout, I will continue to follow these to implement them in my weekly routine. Regards.
If you really want to make your forearms burn and work them out completely, I'd recommend the anabolic aliens forearm workout ("Intense 5 Minute At Home Forearm Workout"). It is short, it doesn't use any equipment and after doing it your arms are like popeye the sailor's.
Wow thanks for this. Just tried the forearm one. Rly good will do a couple more sets of this before bed Managed two micro workouts today. 4 sets of pull-ups this morning. Picked a kettlebell up before and did 4 sets of shoulder press , 4 sets of behind the head tricep extension. 4 sets of squats. I don't think I will ever go back to conventional structured training methods. Will do more micro workouts tomorow based on how I feel. The big benefit of training like this is stress and complexity is becoming eliminated.
A small trick that I picked up on a powerlifter channel, I think Brian Alsruhe, (because you never know what you may learn that helps in the fitness journey),was taking a newspaper, page by page, and practice balling it up with only one hand, stretched out to your side. Good luck trying to get through the whole newspaper. As for calves, don't forget to do the exact opposite for he shins to balance out the lower legs. It will help save time and pain from shin splints and knee aches in the future.
I remember that news paper trick! I used to squeeze a sponge and it did sort of the same thing. Nothing like trying to crush your hands together to work the forearms.
@@RedDeltaProject A lot of people go out and buy a hand trainer (usually too strong and thinking they will "grow" into it, before burning out and quitting), when all they need it one of those stress balls or a balloon filled with sand.
I like to train my grip strength while doing forearm exercises (false grip rows, overhand biceps curl, towel hang/pullup, axle bar deadlift for high reps etc.)
i do my calf 3 times a week weighted calf raises to failure single leg calf raises on the edge of Stairs to failure Jump Rope to failure i do 1 round, rest time 30 sec
I don't think so, the wrist exercises are isometric so you're getting only a small amount of motion in the joint and on the nerves. You're probably putting more stress there just driving your car every day
It can, tension is tension, no matter why it's there. It may be easier with some external resistance like a gripping tool, but progressive muscle tension produces the same effect either way

Great job! Glad to hear your pain is decreasing.

I use same workout for forearms.
I did that for about 2 months. It's a killer 🔥
I also did ..and self resistance bicep workout that he does in bodyweight bicep training
@@utkarshaggarwal1631 what were your results ?
@@jasonvoorhees8899 The results were what I expected, I gained some definition, not a whole lot.

Great point! I don't think anything beats towel/rope pullups. They are definitely the hardest and I have to use assistance still.
@@wesleyangel777 towel and rope pull ups are haaaaard for sure
Fantastic channel! Thank you.
Thank you!
i do my calf 3 times a week
weighted calf raises to failure
single leg calf raises on the edge of Stairs to failure
Jump Rope to failure
i do 1 round, rest time 30 sec
When I do hand grib or pull up before the push up, i feel my wrist tight enough to prevent that slightly pain during pushs
WHEN IS THE BOOK VERSION OF MICRO WORKOUTS COMING!!!!!!!!
Soon, just a little more editing to Make it look all nice and pretty for you
Imma share this with Omar Isuf. 😛
The wirst curls are weightless ?
Can you overdo the forearm exercise and damage the carpal tunnel nerves? Seems like a good stretch but I don't want to cause issues!
I don't think so, the wrist exercises are isometric so you're getting only a small amount of motion in the joint and on the nerves. You're probably putting more stress there just driving your car every day
Matt can I put one arm on forearm to have extra resistance or do legged calf raise?
Great
What about single leg calf raises?
Hey Matt,Should I go all the way up on my tippy toes when doing calf raises? I tend to lose balance and tension when I do.
Do them near a wall and use fingertips if needed. That seems to help me anyway. Good luck!
This kind of isometric exercices for forearm are good for mind to muscle connection but it cannot really make it bigger by itself, no?
It can, tension is tension, no matter why it's there. It may be easier with some external resistance like a gripping tool, but progressive muscle tension produces the same effect either way
@@RedDeltaProject I wasn’t seeing isometric as progressing tension over time. Now I guess that’s the case haha
When i do that forearm flexing. My muscles get really contracted and starts cramping.
Same here .. :(
then just scale it back a bit for now and do it more often
Start static-stretching your forearms post-exercise and that will go away
Yes we all know matt you are the calf king😒
