A forearm strengthener is exercise equipment that improves grip strength and strengthens the forearm muscles. Most models are ambidextrous and use resistance to train the muscles. They are commonly used for personal use at home or in a home gym and are beneficial for bodybuilders and athletes who require forearm strength.
A forearm strengthener is exercise equipment used to strengthen the muscles of the forearm, the area of the arm between the elbow and the wrist, as well as to improve grip strength in the fingers. Most of these kits are ambidextrous. This means that they can be worn on either the left or right hand so that a forearm strengthener can be purchased for an equal exercise on each side of the body. In most cases, a forearm strengthener uses resistance to train the forearm muscles. One of the most common models includes a palm grip and four pieces that look like computer keys attached to springs, one for each finger.
When this typical model of a forearm strengthener is held in the hand, each of the fingers presses its own key or pad. Although most of the action takes place in the hand, the forearm muscles are engaged. Through repeated use, the muscles that are engaged during exercise become stronger and may also increase in size. It is much more common to purchase a forearm strengthener for personal use at home or in a home gym than to purchase equipment for a commercial or public gym where it would be used by multiple gym members.
In addition to the type of forearm strengthener described above, there are other models. Some of the models allow alterations in resistance. This means that users can increase the resistance as their muscles get stronger, allowing them to continue to build their muscles. This also means that multiple users of different strength levels can use and benefit from this type of forearm strengthener.
There are several reasons to use a forearm strengthener. Some bodybuilders use them to target the muscle group in their forearms. Other people use them to increase their skills in a specific sport that requires forearm strength. Rock climbers, for example, need to have as much strength as possible throughout the entire upper body region, including the forearms. For this reason, it is not uncommon for a rock climber to train for the sport using a forearm strengthener.
