(Should you decide to include) forearms — how to train the flexors vs the extensors
Generally, I’ve found the flexors respond better to relatively low intensity and high volume (e.g. I currently do twice a week 4 x 15 @ 80 lbs Standing Behind-the-Back BB Wrist Curls). In the past when I tried to do low volume and high intensity (e.g. 4 x 5 @ 85%) it seems to be too awkward and I can’t even perform one proper rep, as if the (near) maximal strength is very poor in that area.
Anyway, I’ve always had difficulty training the extensors, as they seem to be a much weaker muscle and also more awkward to train. Can someone suggest to me what they’ve found to be effective ways to train this muscle? Fast-twitch with low volume, high intensity? Slow-twitch? etc.
Thanks a lot everyone.
