Are skinny wrists and weak forearms holding me back?
Here are my stats:
Age: 20
Weight: 170
Height: 6’ 1"
Bench: 185
Deadlift: 200
Squat: 225x2
Curls: 15lbs on barbell
So I’ve been trying to bulk since Freshman year of college and I’m currently a Sophomore. I’ve gained 10-15lbs of muscle but I’ve hit a wall for the past 8 months. I feel like my whole body is lagging but especially my forearms. I still have the same wrists that I had when I was 15. Also, I feel like I can’t increase my deadlift because my grip is holding me back. I tried wriststraps and they helped a little but I want to be able to do them naturally.
I’ve heard people mention different things for grip and forearm strength and was wondering if anyone could suggest anything. I tried hanging towel chin-ups and reverse curls but I haven’t seen much if any growth. Does anyone have suggestions?
Will post pics soon.
Thanks guys.

Charles Poliquin has a forearm/Grip programme in the archives, if you cant find it, I can email it to you. I think its a 6 month programme.
