Why test your forearm strength?
Your forearms and grip are involved in almost everything you lift, carry, pull or hang from. A weak grip is often the first thing to give out in deadlifts, pull-ups and rows, and in sports like climbing, tennis and grappling.
Knowing where you start makes it easy to see progress. Retake the test after a few weeks of training and watch yourself move up the ladder.
