Forearm Exercises
Forearms close your hand and bend your wrist. Grip is usually what gives out first on deadlifts, rows and pull-ups, so forearm work pays off in every other lift.
Farmer's walks and hammer curls train them with no special equipment. Direct wrist curls can wait until grip is the thing holding back a lift.
