Re: [IOL] Forearms

Chris´ reply is right up my alley, but I´d even suggest to do deadlifts and
then bicep/tricep supersets. If you are really tough, you can try chins
after the deadlifts, too.

You can make it a hair more brutal by doing towel pushups instead of chins. Just drape a towel over the bar, and hold onto the towel instead of the bar. When...
