Men at the wine table must have big muscles

When you hold a beer, your tense forearm muscles have to bear more force than your full biceps. It would be embarrassing if half of the full beer is spilled by your frail arms before you even clink glasses. So, to develop beer muscles, don't have thin upper arms like Popeye, but have thick forearms like him! At least you can have the momentum to overwhelm the other party when you toast at the table?

What is beer muscle?

The beer muscle we define is located in the forearm. It is a group of muscles including the radial flexor carpi, brachioradialis, ulnar flexor carpi, and anconeus. It supports the wrist and palm through linkage and leverage. Strengthening beer muscles can make your arm lines smoother and your movements more powerful!

Flexor carpi radialis

The radial flexor carpi is located in the upper part of the forearm. It is one of the superficial flexor muscles. It forms a slender tendon along the downward forearm. It mainly acts on the elbow joint, wrist joint and hand joint, providing strength support for wrist flexion, finger flexion and forearm rotation.

Brachioradialis

The brachioradialis muscle originates from above the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and inserts downward on the radial styloid process. The brachioradialis muscle has a long lever arm that crosses the front of the elbow joint. Its starting point is closer to the elbow joint than that of the brachialis muscle, so the brachioradialis muscle plays an important role when flexing the elbow.

Flexor carpi ulnaris

The ulnar flexor carpi originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus and the deep fascia of the forearm, and provides strength support for movements such as wrist flexion, wrist retraction, and elbow extension. The above movements are completed by the joint contraction of the ulnar flexor carpi and the extensor carpi.

Anconeus

The posterior group is located on the back of the forearm, farther away from the first three muscles. It is a muscle group that provides strength for extending the elbow, wrist, and fingers. The anconeus muscle is part of the posterior muscle group and the superficial extensor muscle group. It is also an important muscle connecting the upper arm and forearm and can be regarded as the key fulcrum of the arm's lever action.

Grab your stuff before you go

dumbbel

Dumbbells are very suitable for strength training and compound muscle movement training. After the above two trainings, the body can increase the number of muscle fibers and increase the volume of muscle fibers. Therefore, in order to exercise the forearm muscles, it is necessary to use this simple, practical and effective equipment.

If you do it right, you will feel your strength and muscle size increase rapidly. Because in dumbbell training, the body will mobilize all possible muscles to maintain balance and stability, including all small assisting muscles and stabilizing muscles. It can also improve the coordination and control of the forearm muscles. Our training goals are not only effectively achieved, but also beneficial to the body.

Puller

Because the pull rope of the puller is at a certain angle to the ground, the angled force of puller training is very different from the vertical downward force during dumbbell free curls. When training with a puller, your muscles will be stimulated with a different force and angle than before. This effect is especially evident when the muscles are fully contracted and fully stretched.

You can also learn from the palm-turning movement during dumbbell curls, and use a puller to practice turning from palms inward or palms down to palms up. When doing some forearm lifting exercises, high-tensioner curls or reverse high-tensioner curls can also play a big role in arm flexion movements. Through side curls with tensioners, the brachioradialis muscle can be strengthened, which can better exercise your forearms.
