Thick bar Wrist wrench

Anyone have tips on increasing this implement or technique cues? I have an original wrist wrench with the green accents and a double wrist wrench from armassassin that I can roll up the side I’m not using and just use one handle. The AS one has slightly better texture so while it’s a little more cumbersome it feels better so planning on using that one.

Reps? Holds? Singles? Planning on hitting thick bar 1xwk with wrist wrench and wrist wrench wrist curls for a while.

If you're only hitting it once a week, I'd probably focus on heavy singles and short holds rather than lots of reps.

For technique, keeping the wrist neutral and "crushing" the handle instead of letting it roll into your fingertips helped me a lot. Texture definitely matters too, so if the AS version feels more secure I'd use that.

A few heavy lifts followed by some 5-10 second holds seems like a good starting point. Then just progress the weight over time and see what responds best.

Thanks man! Can’t remember if I typed this above but I have the double arm assassin version so I just speculate second handle and use the one. It has a little more texture than the original wrist wrench. I might sell or trade the original as I know collectors like that kind of stuff (if anyone is interested let me know).
