Wrist curls

2006-01-05T23:23:00.000Z

Forearms strength is key to pull-ups - at least these are the muscles that fail me. So going to focus on developing those in the next weeks. Bought a wrist curl excerciser (picture!) and started tonight to use it. Quite a strange machine - I found it hard even with very low weight.Looking for other excercises to achieve the same goal. Ideas welcome!
