Reverse Wrist Curls

 

Reverse Wrist Curls focus on the extensors on the forearm, which are crucial for balanced musculature. Sit on a bench with your forearms resting on your thighs, palms facing down while holding a light dumbbell or barbell. Extend your wrists upward slowly to engage the extensor muscles and then lower them to the starting position with control. Repeat for 12-15 reps for maximum effect.

Wrist Rotations

 

Wrist Rotations help in improving flexibility and reduce forearm fat by engaging the muscles effectively. Hold a lightweight dumbbell with your arm extended in front of you, keeping your elbow stationary. Rotate your wrist inward and outward in a slow, controlled motion for 10-15 rotations each side to fully engage the forearm muscles.

Farmer's Walk

 

Farmer's Walk improves overall grip strength which is essential for reducing forearm fat. Grab a pair of heavy dumbbells, stand tall, and walk a certain distance or time, ensuring your grip remains strong throughout the duration. This exercise forces the forearm muscles to engage continuously, aiding in fat reduction.

Plate Pinches

 

Plate Pinches are incredibly effective for building forearm strength and targeting fat. Use a pair of weight plates of the same size, pinching them together using your thumb and fingers while keeping your arms straight down beside you. Hold this position for as long as you can, aiming for 30 seconds or more per set.

Hammer Curls

 

Hammer Curls focus on the brachioradialis located in the forearm. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing your body. Curl both weights as if you're doing a bicep curl but keeping your palms inward. This exercise stabilizes the wrist and engages the forearm just as much as the biceps for a comprehensive workout.

Reverse Grip Barbell Curl

 

Target the brachialis and extensors with Reverse Grip Barbell Curls. Stand with your feet firmly on the ground, grabbing a barbell with an overhand grip. Curl the barbell towards your chest, focusing on engaging the forearm muscles. It’s crucial to keep your elbows close to your sides during the motion to maximize the impact on your forearms.

Dead Hangs

 

Dead Hangs are excellent for building grip and forearm strength, crucial for burning fat in the area. Using a pull-up bar, hang with your body weight, keeping your hands shoulder-width apart. Maintain a strong grip and hold as long as you are able, starting with 30 seconds and gradually increasing as you build strength.

Zottman Curls

 

Zottman Curls are effective for both biceps and forearms. Begin as you would with a traditional curl, but as you reach the top of the movement, rotate your wrists so your palms face downwards, then slowly lower the weights. This rotation actively engages the forearm muscles more than standard curls, promoting fat loss.

Forearm Plank

 

The Forearm Plank focuses not only on core strength but also stabilizes the forearm muscles. Assume a plank position on your forearms and toes, ensuring your elbows are directly below your shoulders. Keep your body in a straight line, activating your forearm and shoulder muscles, while engaging your core. Hold for a minimum of 30 seconds.

Finger Curls

 

Finger Curls isolate and train the forearm muscles effectively. Sit with your forearms resting on your thighs, holding a barbell with a supinated grip. Let the bar slowly roll down to the ends of your fingers, then curl your fingers to bring the bar back into your palm using the forearm flexors. Perform 12-15 slow and controlled reps.

How to Combine Exercises for Losing Forearms Fat

 

Reverse Wrist Curls and Wrist Rotations

 

  • Combine Reverse Wrist Curls with Wrist Rotations to enhance forearm muscle engagement and flexibility. Start with 12-15 reps of Reverse Wrist Curls to target the extensors, then immediately follow with 10-15 Wrist Rotations on each side. This sequence promotes balanced muscle development and flexibility.

 

Farmer's Walk and Plate Pinches

 

  • Combine Farmer's Walk with Plate Pinches for a rhythm that continuously engages the forearm muscles. Perform Farmer's Walk for a set distance or time, then immediately transition to Plate Pinches for 30 seconds. This combination allows for both static and dynamic grip work.

 

Hammer Curls and Reverse Grip Barbell Curl

 

  • Combine Hammer Curls with Reverse Grip Barbell Curls to target the forearms from different angles. Start with Hammer Curls to engage the brachioradialis and then move to Reverse Grip Barbell Curls to focus on the extensors and brachialis. This pairing offers a full range engagement of the forearm muscles.

 

Dead Hangs and Zottman Curls

 

  • Combine Dead Hangs with Zottman Curls for ultimate grip and forearm endurance. Begin with Dead Hangs for 30 seconds or more to build grip strength, followed by 12-15 reps of Zottman Curls to ensure comprehensive muscle engagement. This combination maximizes both static and active forearm involvement.

 

Forearm Plank and Finger Curls

 

  • Combine Forearm Plank with Finger Curls for stabilization and isolation work for the forearm muscles. Initiate with a 30-second hold in the Forearm Plank to engage core and forearm stabilizers, then execute 12-15 reps of Finger Curls to focus on forearm flexors' strength and endurance.

Got questions? We have answers.

Do your plans include prescriptions and medications?

Curex plans cover everything from reviewing your medical intake to providing prescription medications, with free shipping included. There are no extra or hidden charges. Prescriptions are issued only after a medical provider reviews your information to confirm that the medication is suitable for you. Our service includes continuous support and regular follow-ups to ensure your treatment stays on track.

Our clinicians may order labs and additional medications for you, which would not be covered by the plan but for which you can use your insurance.

Please note: Compounded medications are tailored to individual needs or used in case of shortages, but they are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is required. Results may vary from person to person.

What medications do your providers prescribe?

We prioritize a personalized approach to your health. If your medical provider prescribes medication, options may include GLP-1 treatments such as compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy®* and Ozempic®*). Our providers prescribe only combination treatments not available at your local pharmacy that may include vitamin B12, etc. to help you achieve your goals faster.

Depending on your treatment goals, other medications such as metformin may also be considered. We recognize the importance of managing side effects, so your care plan might include medication to ease symptoms like nausea. Your well-being is always our top priority!

Please note that compounded medications are customized to meet individual patient needs and are not FDA-approved for safety or effectiveness. A prescription is necessary. Results may vary from person to person.

Curex and its pharmacy partners do not have any association with Novo Nordisk.

Will I be prescribed semaglutide if I sign up?

Your health journey is unique, and we tailor our care to match. Any prescriptions, including semaglutide, will be based on the expert assessment of the medical provider matched with you through our platform. You can trust that your treatment plan will be personalized to fit your specific needs. And if semaglutide is not prescribed, we will provide a full refund.

What is compounded medication?

Compounding involves creating customized medications to meet the specific needs of individual patients. For instance, a patient may require a liquid version of a medication that is only available in tablet form. Pharmacies can also compound medications using FDA-approved drugs that are on the FDA’s shortage list.

These compounded medications are made by state-licensed pharmacies that follow both federal and state regulations, including quality standards. However, when compounded in accordance with these laws, these medications are not subject to FDA approval and are not evaluated for safety or effectiveness.

Is compounded medication the same as generic medication?

Compounded medications differ from generic drugs. Generics require FDA approval by demonstrating bio-equivalence to the brand-name drug. In contrast, compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are made based on a personalized prescription that may not be commercially available elsewhere or when a drug appears on the FDA’s shortage list. Compounding pharmacies must have the proper licensed facilities and comply with state and federal regulations before dispensing these medications.

Is insurance required?

No, Curex doesn’t require insurance. We offer clear and simple pricing, along with affordable medication options, making it easy and accessible to take care of your health.

Can I pay with an FSA or HSA card?

Yes! You can pay with your HSA or FSA card.

How much does treatment cost?

Semaglutide is priced at $149 for your first month, and $299 per month thereafter. This includes unlimited messaging with your medical provider, access to compounded medication at any dosage (if prescribed), and a user-friendly portal where you can manage your care plan and track your progress.

These prices do not include sales, promotions, or special offers.

Can you prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®*?

Our providers focus on personalized medications and dosages that aren’t commercially available at your local pharmacy. While we don’t prescribe Ozempic®* or Wegovy®* directly, we may prescribe treatments containing the same active ingredient. These medications are specially compounded for you by a licensed pharmacy to meet your specific needs.

Are video visits with a provider required?

Our providers will review your information 100% online. Depending on where you live and the specifics of your medical history, our providers may require you to have a video visit or asynchronous visit via text message. If prescribed, you’ll get unlimited online access to message your provider as needed for follow-ups, adjustments, and answers to your questions.
