    RlP4 ULTIMATE FOREARM TRAINING PROGRAM

    The Rip-4 program by ripfast is a stunningly effective training system specifically for forearms, that leads to:

    Bigger, stronger, ripped, defined forearms for a powerful grip and stronger wrists.

     

    The program combines a synergistic range of super effective exercises for maximum results in short, sharp training sessions.

     RECOMMENDED ROUTINES 

    BEGINNERS: Start with 6 reps per movement.

    EXPERIENCED: Perform 8 reps per movement.

    Which Days?

    Some people prefer to do forearm work on the same day as other arm training (eg: biceps and triceps). In this case, less warm up work is required. It also leads to a 'cumulative stress' (from all the various training pressures on the arm that day), and thus leads to more intense stress on the whole arm area. Others prefer to do it on days when they do no other arm work.

    Try both, and see what days work best for you, feeling-wise, result-wise and pump-wise.

     NOTE: For Maximum Effectiveness:

    - Take the muscle to positive failure (for in-depth info, see your Ripfast Training Systems Manual). Basically you should use a weight so heavy that you cannot perform more than 6-8 reps. The last 2 reps should be almost impossible.

     

    - Take very little, or ideally, zero rest between exercises.

     

    - Use perfect form. Perform the exercises exactly as shown, and precisely in the order

    shown. - Once you get used to the program, you can also introduce Ripfast Precion-1 & STERL% principles (as featured in your Ripfast Eternity Training Systems Manual).

     

    - An important factor in getting maximum benefit from ALL the following exercises is to grip the bar as if you want to make it crumble into dust! A super tight grip really improves strength, size and definition results.

     

    - When the routine becomes too easy, increase the weight.

    - If you require definition, more than too much mass in your forearms, don't go too

    heavy on the weight that you use (we recommend this option only when your forearms become too big, or if you're already happy with the size of you forearms).

    PIPE TWISTS (Warm Up)

    .

    PIPE TWISTS (Warm Up)

    Wrist Curls

     

    WRIST CURLS

    Perform this fantastic exercise exactly as shown, with your hands about 6 inches apart.

    Slightly open your fingers at the bottom of the movement, then 'curl' the weight up as far as it will go.

    Tip: Letting your elbows raise up off the bench at the bottom of the movement will allow you to use more weight, resulting in more muscle mass. Remember to grip the bar tight.

    REVERSE WRIST CURLS

     

    REVERSE WRIST CURLSAgain, during this movement, clench the bar as hard as you can. Also note that at the starting position, your elbows should be up off your legs, with your wrists bent down.Your elbow position should be just outside your thighs.

    When moving the weight up, use your wrists. Your elbows should end up down against your thighs. At the same time, push your ankles up until you're on tiptoe.

    REVERSE CURLS

     

    REVERSE CURLS

    This movement can also be very effectively performed on a cable machine. Keep your knees bent throughout and keep strict form. Don't 'heave' or 'snap' the weight up using momentum, use control.

    Concentrate on the pump that you will be feeling in your forearms.

    WRIST UPS

     

     

    WRIST UPS These exercises are performed using a dumbell with weight attached only at one end. Keep your grip tight as usual.

    The position of your elbow, thumb and the weight bar should all be in one straight line. Use only the strength of your wrist to curl the bar up as far as it will go.

    WRIST BACKS

     

     

    WRIST BACKS

    For this version, curl the weight using your wrist strength as before, but this time the weight is curled as high as you can in the opposite direction, behind you.

    (** Note: When performing WRIST UP & WRIST BACKS, do them both on one arm first, then the other arm. This also applies to the following WRIST TWISTS.)

    DUMBELL WRIST TWISTS

    For this exercise, position yourself as shown. Lock your wrists so that the bar is at a 90 degree angle to your forearm. Keep your forearm in a stable position on the bench.

    When performing the movement, lower the weight with control, as far as it will go. First to one side, then to the other. Be sure to keep control of the weight throughout, to prevent injury.

    Re: DUMBELL WRIST TWISTS

     This looks like it could definitely blast away at the arms. Just waiting to find out what you have in store for the rest of the body.
