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
Your wrist has 6 functions, 2 of which are
ulnar and radial deviation. When any of
these 6 get out of balance due to a
weakness, it´s typically only a matter of
time before injuries happen. Proactively
addressing weaknesses and making sure
you´re strong through every link of a joint
makes for a bulletproof forearm that's
resilient against injuries
Get better at your sport
Having strong wrists through all of it's
ranges of motion can be of huge
advantage in many sports, including
armwrestling, strongman, MMA, wrestling,
etc.
One of the most underrated ways to get big arms
If you´re a man and are reading this page, then I think it´s safe to say that you like the idea of having big arms! However, most people have been brainwashed by only focusing on the biceps and triceps. Now, don't get us wrong. Having big biceps and triceps is definitely cool. However, there is one big underrated factor that people overlook in growing their arms: the forearm.
The forearm has a lot of muscle potential and will give you that thick look around the elbows. Without well-developed forearms, you will never get that full look that most people are going for.
Don't believe us? Let's look at two examples here: one guy (LuiMarco) with very well developed upper arms but a skinny forearm, and one person (John Brzenk)with a very well developed forearm but a relatively lower developed upper arm. Honestly, which arm looks more impressive?
Another bonus about the forearm: they can be in full display year-round, while your biceps and tricep are covered up behind a layer of clothing. In summer, your forearms will be right below the line of your tshirt, and in winter you can simply roll up your sleeves. Get ready for some newbie gains all over again!
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!
