Yesterday’s workout included 2 miles of log carries - I use curl, hammer curl and reverse curl grips to work my arms - you get a heck of a burn after 100 to 300 steps with a curl grip hold.

Trudi joined me for a hike to Fort Worden and parked her favorite hat here when we were taking a break - and then left it there - when we realized it was missing I went back to get it - found it nestled right where she had left it - I celebrated with two miles of extra heavy log carries before heading back home.

Claw grip curls - great for your grip - for your forearms - and for your upper arms. You can do reps or do isometric holds - I usually do isometric holds.
