Forearm endurance question

[lorrayne]

Hi Cathe,

How long does it take before the endurance in the forearm kicks in? I was quickly losing strength in my forearms while doing the deadlifts in disc 15. Any advise regarding average time it takes to build in the endurance? I hope it doesn't take too long as my forearms were still fatigued when doing those barbell curls...

Not Cathe - hope you don't mind my posting but I had lots of problems with forearm endurance in deadlifts and found alternating my grip helps a lot (one hand under, one hand over). This assumes you use a barbell.

I never thought of alternating my grip. I will certainly try this!

Thanks!!!

Sometimes I use alternating grips with deadlifts (especially with Romanian deadlifts). Also be sure to do targeted forearm exercises.
