Thor's Hammer

[Ect0m0rph]

This works the forearm from its front to back. It's an excellent overall builder. However, its important that you understand that our biceps not only are responsible for lifting the forearm, but also twisting the wrists. Therefore this will work your forearms and help shape your biceps at the same time.

Thor's Hammer: (A) Take a dumbbell in which one side of the weight has been taken off. (B) Grasp one end with the arm you intend to work first. Keeping your elbow at your side, bend your arm so that it forms a 90 degree angle. (C) Twist your wrist all the way so that your palms are facing up, then twist all the way to the opposite direction. This is one repetition.

No offense, but in my opinion they're a waste of time and may even cause injury.

Every exercise, for every muscle in the body has a use somewhere, this exercise has a place in sport specific training, and in rehabilitation.
