The GGG kettlebell forearm exercise

[Roy Jones Jnr]

Any of you guys tried this?



Read somewhere that was a 16kg kettlebell GGG was using so i thought i'd try with a lesser weight like 12kg.

Can't move it one bit the way he's doing it with a 12kg kettlebell.

Any of you chaps tried? If not try it in the gym if you have kettlebells there and let me know how you got on.

16kg must be close to impossible.

It comes to your body type, if you have small wrists ofc you shouldn't go with heavy weights. And don't forget he is a big middleweight, how much you do weight is also important.

Weight has nothing to do with wrist strength . Wrist size has no barring or limit to how much weight you can handle though a bigger wrist helps.

I use a a straight bar or bands to do similar motion standing up,he has leverage with a solid flooring under neath the kettle,this looks fun i would have to give this a try. These are good for twisting motions and reinforcing hand strength. you can also do this with just a one hand barbell with weights on the other side and twist the wrist back and forth.

Defo try it...i was genuinely thinking of buying a 16kg kettlebell at first to do it...looks much easier than it actually is. I can't move it an inch with a 12kg let alone a 16kg.

I cheat and do it though...i put my opposite hand on the handle to crate a sort of right angle and then lift it...it's not the way GGG does it but it makes it actually possible for me. Hoping to work my way up to actually being able to do it with just the one hand needed like GGG does in the video but for now the easier way will have to do.

just buy those rubber pulley bands,you can attach it to a anything,i even use a door knob to pull against at waist length ,it does the same thing,your wrist will get used to that motion.Best way is to buy single barebell that you can add own weights to ,just add weights on one side and use the other end as a lever.

But when doing it your knees or feet on the ground right, rooted? And heavier you are, stronger you are rooted.
You know we can't punch with our whole body in zero gravity, it would be just arm punches, so the ground is our base of power and heavier we are heavier the gravity's effect. Sorry for making something so simple so complicated

works pretty good

From a bio-mechanical perspective, that looks like a pretty poor exercise. There are better and more functional ways to train forearm strength, such as doing pull ups using ropes or on a thick bar! (Or very simply just holding a heavy-weight)...

lol, it's funny these responses.

Looks hard as hell with the weight he was using.
