[Flanex]

Anyone here use these?I just ordered them & they should be here tomorrow.I'm looking to get a better forearm workout with them while doing all the basic movements.

These are fine for guys with large hands. I personally hate bars that are too thick. When I set up my home gym I looked around for free weights with small bars. Many people do not realise that the thickness of the bar can be either a hindrance or a help.

I've never tried them myself. I know some people like them. For me, if I'm trying to work on forearm and grip strength I will hit reverse grip movements, hammer curls, and drag curls more

They are actually excellent pieces of equipment. They do make a serious difference.

Personally I hate small bars. I like lifting with axel bars and stuff like that. These grips on Dumbbells will make a huge difference though. No forearm workout will really compare. Most will target the upper portion anyway.

Cool.I'm looking forward to trying pull-ups with them too.

Yep throw them on bench and close grip press too even skull crushers. They work for just about anything you want.

I just wrap baseball bat tape on mine

You can get a similar effect with a normal bar, just grip the bar real tight to activate your forearms more.

Seen them never tried it looks interesting all I really do for forarms is my first few sets of pull ups and bent over rows without straps then when they get week I use the straps so I can kill my back same with deadlifts then reverse and hammer curls

I have some fat grip bars that I love using. You'll get a grip like a chimp if you stick with it. I suggest using them with a full grip routine. Fat bar/grips, captains of crush and a bunch of pinch workouts holding plates. Oh, and don't forget the deadlifts...no straps!

Cool,Thanks man.I never use straps.

The only problem I see using these is the potential to take away emphasis from the targeted muscle groups if your grip is fatigued more. I've never used them personally so I'm speculating, but I could see grip failing before you hit failure on chest, triceps, biceps, shoulders, back or whatever else you are working which could be a problem

I see what you're saying Rick but I've never had my grip or forearms fatigue before my muscle group I was working.Even with heavy deads.Maybe it's from being in construction my whole life & swinging a hammer for 20 years?I don't know.
I just got them in yesterday but it was leg day so I didn't get a chance to use them.Today is chest day & I plan on using them for everything.I plan on doing all dumbells today(presses,flys & pullovers).I like adding in dumbell presses once in a while because of the stretch I get with them.I think these 2" grips are perfect.Not too wide.They go all the way up to 3" & unless you have gigantic hands,I think they'd be awkward to work with.
I'll follow up on my experience!Thanks

 

[Flanex]

Just got done working the chest & no real noticeable difference.Forearms don't seem more pumped than usual.The movements weren't harder.Maybe I'll notice it when I work my back or arms this week.

 

[Flanex]

Going a little off topic here but do you guys think 336 reps is too much for chest in one day?I feel like I may have over-trained a bit.

(Presses 12x4 ;decline,flat,incline - 12x4 flys ;decline,flat,incline - pullovers 12x4)

lol well you didn't get to failure did you? if not then you should be fine more than your body is used to maybe but it will adapt. I never really added my reps up like that but damn at first look its like damn. but I guess it would be normal. if you added all the weight together you prolly pushed 10k lbs lol

Yeah I pushed each exercise to failure.I like to end with the pullovers.They give me the best pump.By the time I was done with the flies my arms were almost completely bent.It was a high rep day so I didn't rest much between sets,just under a minute at the most.

 

[Flanex]

My chest is usually twitching & spazzing out when I work them like this.Not so much today.I just like to get the most out of it since I've only been working a muscle group once a week lately.

right but with the sarms run you will find that the soreness and recovery are much quicker. lol I just went ahead and started another sarms run due to a shoulder impingement, I needed the mk2866 healing
