Forearm Broom Extension

Yet another exercise that you might not see very often today is the forearm broom extension workout. The exercise is meant to help develop the muscles in your wrist and is a test of overall wrist strength. It helps to point out all of the weak areas in your hand, wrist, and forearm, and you can move up and down the broom handle to either make it easier or harder for yourself. You can also add weight to the end of it, like the brick which is featured above, if you have particularly strong forearm, hand, and wrist muscles. Today, most people rely on weights and stretches to work out their wrists, if they work on them at all.
