We all knew Jon Snow was coming back to life—but The Formulator too? Who would’ve thought?
What Is The Formulator?
The Formulator is a unique forearm training tool that locks directly onto your hands, eliminating the thumb as the weak link in forearm exercises.
According to its original marketing:
You’ll feel the Formulator difference in your first workout. You’ll never return to traditional barbell forearm training again.
I wouldn’t go that far, but it’s definitely a solid option for serious forearm development.
Where to Get It
The Formulator disappeared for years, but it looks like the “Red Priestess” of the strength world has resurrected it!
To get your hands on this forearm-training relic, visit The Formulator website.
DIY Alternative
If you’d rather “formulate” your own gym-friendly knockoff, here’s what you can do:
What You Need:
✔ A pair of adjustable stirrup handles with hand supports – like these
✔ A low pulley station
How to Perform the Exercise:
- Attach the handles to a low pulley.
- Sit on the floor with your legs bent at 90 degrees.
- Lock your hands into the handles.
- Brace your forearms against your thighs.
- Perform reverse wrist curls for stronger, more developed forearms.
Final Thoughts
The Formulator was AWOL for years, but now your forearm training no longer has to be MIA.
