Strongman legend Travis Ortmayer explains the hype about ´the Riser´
Don't just take our word for it. Tons of elite athletes from various different sports are using the Riser to level-up.
Listen to what Travis Ortmayer, a legend in the world of strongman, has to say about it!
To quote Travis:
“That´s a killer for the forearms, and it hits my triceps in a way that I´ve never felt before.”
Elite athletes are using the riser
Brian Shaw training his triceps with the Riser
France's bench press record holder, Baptiste Marchais, training his wrists

How & why it works
The Riser will give you a unique stimulus, but some people may still be confused on what actually makes it special. This requires some understanding of exercise science. You see, with a regular dumbell/barbbell the resistance is only going one way: straight down. With the Riser, there are multiple lines of resistance thanks to the chain.
Because the chain wraps around the circle, it actively tries to open up your wrist. To fight this from happening, you have to isometrically contract the muscles to stabilize the wrist. On top of that, you can also add in little movements to work the wrist up and down through its whole range of motion.
During a hammer curl motion, this means that two things are happening. First, the resistance is pulling down on your arm, which will train the biceps and forearm. Second, the chain tries to pull your wrist down, which causes your forearm to work overtime to stabilize
the wrist. It also allows you to finish the movement with an extra strong contraction, since you fully flex your wrist upwards against the resistance of the chain to end your rep, known as radial deviation.
If we look at a tricep extension, the same thing is happening, just the opposite way. The chain tries to open the wrist upwards, which means your forearm has to stabilize the wrist downwards. Here it also allows you for an extra strong tricep contraction at the end of the rep, since you can flex your wrist backwards against the resistance. Don't believe it? Try it out: flex your tricep as hard as possible, and then additionally also try to drive the pinky-side of your wrist towards your elbow. You'll notice that this makes the tricep contraction even greater. This movement is known as ulnar deviation.
how the riser will help you
Grow your arms
Better bicep and tricep pumps, and some
extra meat on the parts of the forearm that you'd normally never train. Get ready to make some ´newbie gains´ all over again.
‘Bulletproof’ your wrist and elbows
Le poignet a 6 fonctions, dont 2 sont les déviations ulnaire et radiale. Lorsque l'une de ces six fonctions est déséquilibrée en raison d'une faiblesse, ce n'est généralement qu'une question de temps avant qu'une blessure ne survienne. En corrigeant les faiblesses de manière proactive et en s'assurant d'être fort à tous les niveaux de l'articulation, on obtient un avant-bras à toute épreuve qui résiste aux blessures.
Devenez meilleur dans votre discipline sportive
Avoir des poignets forts dans toutes leurs amplitudes de mouvement peut être un avantage énorme dans de nombreux sports, y compris le bras de fer, le strongman, le MMA, la lutte, etc.
<tc>L'un des moyens les plus sous-estimés pour obtenir des bras bien balèzes</tc>
Si vous êtes un homme et que vous lisez cette page, je pense que l'on peut dire que vous aimez l'idée d'avoir des bras imposants ! Cependant, la plupart des gens ont subi un lavage de cerveau en se concentrant uniquement sur les biceps et les triceps. Ne vous méprenez pas. Avoir de gros biceps et triceps, c'est vraiment cool. Cependant, il existe un facteur sous-estimé que les gens négligent dans la croissance de leurs bras : l'avant-bras.
L'avant-bras a un potentiel musculaire important et vous donnera cette apparence dense autour des coudes. Sans des avant-bras bien développés, vous n'obtiendrez jamais l'aspect volumineux que la plupart des gens recherchent.
Vous ne nous croyez pas ? Prenons deux exemples : un gars (LuiMarco) avec des bras très développés mais un avant-bras maigre, et une personne (John Brzenk) avec un avant-bras très développé mais un bras relativement moins développé. Honnêtement, quel est le bras le plus impressionnant ?
Autre avantage des avant-bras : ils peuvent être mis en valeur toute l'année, alors que vos biceps et triceps sont cachés par une couche de vêtements. En été, vos avant-bras seront juste en dessous de la ligne de votre t-shirt, et en hiver, vous pouvez simplement retrousser vos manches. Préparez-vous à réaliser des gains de débutant encore une fois !
FAQ
It's true that the deadlift does tax your grip, but as with all exerises like these, you're not maximizing your grip strength potential. At best you're simply making your grip strength sufficient to be able to handle your deadlift. At worst, you can still not get your grip strength up to this level (like most people) and it actually becomes your limiting factor.
Hands are made to strong, and there's so much more strength potential if you just include some specific grip strength exercises. Never drop a barbell again and grow some godly forearms at the same time!
