I'm training for arm-wrestling and climbing and I need very strong fingers and wrist, this episode was very informative showing what's happening underneath and explain tasks of specific muscles. thank you
My forearms have been struggling after a bad radiculopathy rendered my arm pretty useless for a while. My forearm strength, grip strength and wrist extensors/flexors are quite abysmal, so I'm thankful for the tips here!
You will build it and the gains will come. I know how it feels to rebuild again. But one step after another and next thing you know, you climbed that whole mountain. All the best to you!
Sorry to hear that my friend - but I agree with Kozmo, you'll get there! I've had to come back from many injuries myself, including surgery on my right hand that left me unable to lift pretty much any of my upper body on that side for close to a year. Part 2 and 3 will deal directly with the muscles involved in grip strength though, so should help significantly! 👍
Great video! Love these science based explanations of the function of the muscle. Makes working said muscle seem more deliberate and with more of an end result vrs just moving weight. Thank you! Love the channel.
I have spinal muscular atrophy type 2 and I'm receiving spinraza. I weight 97 lb a year ago with practically no muscle I'm up to 126. I've had teams of kinesiologist and physical therapist not know what to do with a body like this. out of 3,500 patients Across America I am the first and only to grow muscle I love how you broke down the 17 functions of the shoulder I cannot wait for the forearms. Apparently if you don't do every function of every muscle you're wasting your time
Hell yeah man! I am visually impaired myself but I consider all of us with disabilities stronger than most for the shit we have to put up with just to live our lives. Much respect and never stop fighting! You are a badass my friend.
This one truly very specific explaination. loving your content so far, u have different perspective than the other fitness influencer out there. keep it up!
Love it! As a climber and martial artist forearms are obviously very important for grip. What about just pronated barbell curls? If they are more practical to do?
You can, but if you're thinking of brachiorradialis, just 2 things: - its functions are elbow flexion and forearm supination and pronation (it's also called long supinator), both from fully pronated or fully supinated up to the mid position. So if you combine a supination motion while you flex your elbow starting from a fully pronated position, you'll focus more on your BR compared to a simple pronated curl (although it will also work it). - if you're thinking of grip... BR has no real influence in grip. It will participate in general forearm strenght (so it's good to work it out), but it doesn't have an action on your fingers, thumbs or wrists (your grip). However, working your BR out also requires you to grab your barbell, dumbell, cable handle or whatever in pronation, so you'll also work your fingers and wrists flexors (your grip) accesory. Nevertheless if you really need to work your grip, it's better to do specific exercises for it (if you're a climber I'm pretty sure you know a lot of them).
Do a Video on the brachialis muscle. Every armwrestler will thank you! It's the muscle which hurts the most using most conventional pulling styles... The problem is it anatomy make the brachialis more of ellbow flexor with supinations componants. But the problem is in armwrestling you arm get's usualy put in a supinated position when losing, so your pronation muscles get extended. I don't really understand why it get so sore after pulling...
Fellow armwrestler here. The brachialis is purely an elbow flexor, it doesn't assist in supination at all, the only reason the brachialis gets so sore is that it is used SO much during sparring on table. I don't get brachialis pain, but I do feel that they are more tender when I use my massage gun later after training. I sometimes wonder if the pain in that area might be even something to do with the humerus bone being pulled in two directions at once, especially in longer/slow pulls where there is tension for a prolonged period.

Hey Dr. Gains, I am a 51yr old male who has struggled with working out my entire life. I have just started watching your videos and would like to employ your techniques. I am interested in your online classes/courses; however, I would like you to ask a question first. will you produce a video as to why people have a hard time physically doing and mastering a proper pushup? Many people have struggled with this. It would be great to hear something about from your scientific viewpoint. Would it be possible for you to give a demonstration as to what large and small muscle groups come into play to do a pushup, and would it be possible for you to share how to strengthen said groups to affectively complete a proper pushup.
Hey Shaeed - that's a great suggestion, I'll add it to my list! Feel free to add any other content requests you have here 👉 www.dr-gains.com/content-requests-&-feedback. And you should absolutely start one or more of my online programs! I'm obviously a little biased... but everyone who goes through them agrees that they're the most comprehensive science-based resistance training programs out there 💪

Whoa! Dr. Kamalu, i havent tuned in for awhile but i can tell ur ripped more than ever. My wife is slowly helping me get back in rhythm. Been a tuff one lately. Gd to see ya!
I’m 61 very serious about fitness. Have some anatomy knowledge. Any place in Southern California you can recommend for more knowledge. I like your delivery. Makes me think of kinesiology. PS. Ectomorph. . I really appreciate your manner in which you communicate. Most fitness videos drive me nuts. The focus is mass vs true development.
Wow.. just looked it up and it's perfect. I've been considering developing a product exactly like the rotating handle they have. Had no idea it already exists haha. Thanks for the heads up!
Could you please do an extensive video explaining hamstring training for maximum growth. I love all your videos. Extremely informative. Best on RUclips for muscle development as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for the great content.

I enjoy your science-based approach to resistance exercise protocols and urge you to debate Doug Brignole / Smart Training who has a similar approach with some key differences.
Just watched this to gain better insight. So basically training a bicep curl with a pronated grip maximally trains the brachioradialis because it puts this muscle in a fully extented position to start the contraction, whereas the supinated grip actually shortens the muscle at the elbow joint and thus bicep curls with a supinated grip actually don't have much brachioradialis activation unless you return back to neutral by pronation?
Great explanations - I'll definitely give that cable exercise a go, as currently I've been alternating between Reverse db curls and Hammer curls, which are decent, but a little variation is often helpful. I've heard that for Hammer curls that bringing it across across your body can work the Brachioradialis (and brachialis) better. Think it was MountainDog, but can't quite remember. Anyway personally, I found that when I bring it slightly into midline as I curl (but not as far across as many videos show) , I feel the tension more in my BR, but would be interested to get your opinion, especially from an anatomical viewpoint.

Yeah.. I think my mic just sucks. And its the second one I've purchased. Feel free to shoot me an Amazon link if you have one on there you can recommend!
Wow, it’s relatively rare that I hear of or see a technique I’ve never tried or thought of before. That’s genius. A landline setup would provide the perfect resistance curve 👍
absolutely, thanks for the answer, i also wanted to ask what is better for the brachioradialis specifically, hammer curls, normal reverse curls, or ez bar reverse curls, i hear so many different answers but right now i do ez bar reverse curls @@DrGains
also landmine reverse curls are good because they are usually done with a olympic 45lb bar, which has a thicker part at the end, which makes the forearm grow more kind of like a fat grip @@DrGains

Hey Dr. Gains, Great Video about the Brachioradialis. A quick question: What is the best thing out there for the rotator cuff? Probably an Indian clubbell i guess? Also what exercises? I think using clubbells is the best thing in generell maybe? Since also the muscles around, which work with those and protect those at the same time like the lats and serratus are beeing worked with the clubbells in a kind a very natural way i suppose. God bless you
I have an entire 10-stage online program built around how to strengthen the rotator cuff and protect against shoulder injury while weightlifting! Definitely not a question I could answer in a comment. You should check it out: www.dr-gains.com/max-gains-shoulder-program and shoot me an email at michael.kamalu@dr-gains.com if you're interested and I'll reply with the discount code! 👊
Love the content Doc. Great stuff. Only gripe is the audio in all of your videos is very low. Even at max volume on my devices if there is background noise I can barely hear you. Keep up the good work 👍
Yeah I try to include them when I can.. but I hadn't filmed a free weight alternative for this and didn't have the time to. I'll add it to my list for the future though!

EXCELLENT!! I like the knowledge you present on the best exercise for each muscle group and the reason for it, with your graphics. Keep them coming! BTW,If you were suffering from tennis elbow, which of your forearm exercises would you do? I've tried the usual ones, with no help and now think it's because there are 12 extensors that are in play and the usual exercises don't hit all the muscles that are needing work.
Thanks Mike! I have to be careful to not give any specific medical advice to people on here.. but Part 2 of this video should be very helpful! Also I can say that stretches are just as important (if not more so) than exercises for alleviating most forms of tendinitis. Here's a video I did for golfer's elbow, which you can use to extrapolate to the other side of the elbow: ruclips.net/video/UF3OY-UhkIo/видео.html I'll have to add a video specifically for tennis elbow to my to-do list.

I know I’m coming late to your uploads, but just wondering: what reps/sets range do you recommend for this particular exercise? Also, is it OK to progressively overload this exercise?
Hello my friend - I sure do! Here's the best collagen supplement that I recommend specifically for bone and joint health (it's the one I personally take): www.amazon.com/dp/B00K6JUG4K?ref=exp_influencer-72645be4_dp_vv_mat You can see the other supplements that I recommend as well here: www.dr-gains.com/best-of-amazon#supplements
thanks Dr , I'm really thankful and appreciate all the valuable information you gave us easily and for free . do you work with bodybuilder how want to compete and prepare for a show? and if you do how much it's cost?
Love this video - much more complex than I was lead to believe. PS: I have subscribed but do not get any notifications from you regarding new videos (or beta testing). Just an FYI as I have talked with two others who also don't get notifications.
Hey Daniel - glad you liked it! As far as being notified when I post new RUclips videos, do you know how to turns on channel post notifications? There's an alarm bell next to the subscribe button you can press. Other than my shoulder programs, which are now done with beta-testing, none others have been released yet. However, I can tell you that my Maximum Gains Total Back Program will be available for the beta-testers within the next couple weeks!! I'll be sending it out along with the discount codes to everyone who has added their name to the program's beta-tester waitlist 👊
Question doctor! I was under the assumption that the brachioradialis’ only function was to assist the bicep and mechanically cannot pull the forearm in any other direction than the path the bicep pulls? (ie: you cannot perform the exercise shown at 6:20 without externally rotating the humerus and shoulder?) doesn’t this mean you would be more mechanically efficient in just doing bicep curls with either a neutral or slightly probated grip? Thank you!
I'm training for arm-wrestling and climbing and I need very strong fingers and wrist, this episode was very informative showing what's happening underneath and explain tasks of specific muscles. thank you
Dr. Gains is who Jeff Cavaliere watches when Jeff wants to learn.
Haha yes sir! 👊
I vote you the number 1 on RUclips right now by miles I wish you were active 10 years ago. But hey at least you’re here now so I’m all ears.
Outstanding video Doc.
This guy is the best on RUclips. The delivery, the explanations and the exorcises are top notch.

This one truly very specific explaination. loving your content so far, u have different perspective than the other fitness influencer out there. keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Great video, I hear a lot of people say forearms and calf's can't be built on as there already maxed out.
Lol anyone who believes that is pretty stupid. You should cut them out of your life. You don't need that kind of toxicity.
That's bullshit.
Perfect explanation!! 🎉
eagerly waiting for the next 2 parts Sir.
wonderful explanation.
Appreciate it my friend!
NICE, another awesome informative video, way to go Mkie.

It's on my to-do list! Feel free to also use the feedback / request form I put in the video description for that and any other content you'd like to see - it'll help push it up my priority list, and I can notify you when the content you requested is available 👍
Poor sound quality. I have hearing issues, love the videos but improvement of sound quality would really help me follow the recommendations.
Thanks for the feedback Jeff. The first two mics I've tried have been terrible, but we'll get there!
Hey Dr. Gains,
Great Video about the Brachioradialis.
A quick question:
What is the best thing out there for the rotator cuff?
Probably an Indian clubbell i guess?
Also what exercises?
I think using clubbells is the best thing in generell maybe?
Since also the muscles around, which work with those and protect those at the same time like the lats and serratus are beeing worked with the clubbells in a kind a very natural way i suppose.
God bless you
I have an entire 10-stage online program built around how to strengthen the rotator cuff and protect against shoulder injury while weightlifting! Definitely not a question I could answer in a comment. You should check it out: www.dr-gains.com/max-gains-shoulder-program and shoot me an email at michael.kamalu@dr-gains.com if you're interested and I'll reply with the discount code! 👊
Love the content Doc. Great stuff.
Only gripe is the audio in all of your videos is very low. Even at max volume on my devices if there is background noise I can barely hear you.
Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for the suggestion and support!
Could you include a free weight version of your exersises
Yeah I try to include them when I can.. but I hadn't filmed a free weight alternative for this and didn't have the time to. I'll add it to my list for the future though!

Hi!! Can you grow the Brachioradialis with a TENS machine - electrodes stuck across the ends of the muscle?
I would like to see both exercise variations more in action

@@DrGains I'm already subscribed... ;)
EXCELLENT!! I like the knowledge you present on the best exercise for each muscle group and the reason for it, with your graphics. Keep them coming! BTW,If you were suffering from tennis elbow, which of your forearm exercises would you do? I've tried the usual ones, with no help and now think it's because there are 12 extensors that are in play and the usual exercises don't hit all the muscles that are needing work.
Thanks Mike! I have to be careful to not give any specific medical advice to people on here.. but Part 2 of this video should be very helpful! Also I can say that stretches are just as important (if not more so) than exercises for alleviating most forms of tendinitis. Here's a video I did for golfer's elbow, which you can use to extrapolate to the other side of the elbow: ruclips.net/video/UF3OY-UhkIo/видео.html I'll have to add a video specifically for tennis elbow to my to-do list.

I know I’m coming late to your uploads, but just wondering: what reps/sets range do you recommend for this particular exercise? Also, is it OK to progressively overload this exercise?
Dr. Gains would you know any supplement for bone and joint health I can take so I can have good joints at age 40?
Hello my friend - I sure do! Here's the best collagen supplement that I recommend specifically for bone and joint health (it's the one I personally take): www.amazon.com/dp/B00K6JUG4K?ref=exp_influencer-72645be4_dp_vv_mat
You can see the other supplements that I recommend as well here: www.dr-gains.com/best-of-amazon#supplements
thanks Dr , I'm really thankful and appreciate all the valuable information you gave us easily and for free .
do you work with bodybuilder how want to compete and prepare for a show? and if you do how much it's cost?
GOAT
🙏👊
Man, can you turn up the volume like 5 more db in the editing?
Love this video - much more complex than I was lead to believe. PS: I have subscribed but do not get any notifications from you regarding new videos (or beta testing). Just an FYI as I have talked with two others who also don't get notifications.
Hey Daniel - glad you liked it! As far as being notified when I post new RUclips videos, do you know how to turns on channel post notifications? There's an alarm bell next to the subscribe button you can press. Other than my shoulder programs, which are now done with beta-testing, none others have been released yet. However, I can tell you that my Maximum Gains Total Back Program will be available for the beta-testers within the next couple weeks!! I'll be sending it out along with the discount codes to everyone who has added their name to the program's beta-tester waitlist 👊
I tried this and got very little stimulation in the target muscle from it.
Hiya Doc. Can I do that with a dumbbell? Thank you very much and more power, Dr Gains
Awesome
Question doctor! I was under the assumption that the brachioradialis’ only function was to assist the bicep and mechanically cannot pull the forearm in any other direction than the path the bicep pulls?
(ie: you cannot perform the exercise shown at 6:20 without externally rotating the humerus and shoulder?)
doesn’t this mean you would be more mechanically efficient in just doing bicep curls with either a neutral or slightly probated grip?
Thank you!
