To be honest, this is the first I've heard of this, and I'm glad you mentioned it because it gave me a good opportunity to learn something new. I checked Google, and according to a marshall arts forum, many people seem to think it does have an effect on strengthening grip, yes. Many of the same people have also advised against doing them due to potential injuries, instant or progressive, particularly to the joint capsules, since the weight being placed on the small and delicate fingers joints is too overbearing.

If you haven't used weights, then the towel method will absolutely build your forearms and grip strength very well. Remember: the stronger your forearms get, the more resistance you'll be exerting on the towel, which will in turn lead to even more gains. There will reach a point where it simply isn't practical to use the towel method - or it's more conducive to use weights to train your forearms - but if your forearms are undertrained, you can absolutely make great gains for a while with the towel exercise. How much, and how long? Try it and see! Hi Chris,

I used to do wrist curls, but had forgotten about them for some reason. Thanks for the tips. I used to do wrist curls, but had forgotten about them for some reason.
