Week 12 – Table Top Zottman Curls
It’s time to build forearms that resemble sick twisted steel cables…
Congratulations to Darren Shalliman on his win in Week 11 – See Below…
This Week’s Grip Challenge is a Hybrid Lift, combining the Zottman Curl and the and the Table Top Curl.

The Zottman Curl is a lift that I have included in many of my ebooks, including the Nail Bending eBook and Ultimate Forearm Training for Baseball. I include this lift because not only does it work the biceps, but it also stimulates the muscles that originate at the common extensor tendon, helping to reduce the effects of epicondylitis, because the eccentric portion of the lift is completed with the forearm pronated.

The Table Top Curl is a lift that arm wrestlers perform to train the bicep and forearm muscle at extreme angles. It is so named because it is normally performed on an actual table. A dumbbell is generally used (but doesn’t have to be, necessarily…)
For this week’s challenge we will combine these two lifts for an interesting test of bicep and forearm strength.
Check it out:
Aside from the standard rules that are posted below, please make sure to let us know what size of dumbbell you are using. This is important for the judges.
