Here are three simple home exercises that together do a complete forearm workout.
Forearms – The Complete Picture
I surprisingly often see requests for forearm exercises and therefore it was high time that we devote some attention to the subject.
When you want to exercise your forearms, there is a single muscle and two muscle groups you have to tackle to achieve a balanced look on the entire limb.
To work out the complete forearm we need therefore three exercises. One that focuses on the brachioradialis, one that works the wrist flexors and finally one for the wrist extensors:
Don’t Overdo It!
As said in the video, the forearms are involved in a lot of exercises and therefore don’t need that much special attention. Too many forearm exercises can also injure the wrist, which for weeks can take half your upper body out of your workouts, as you may not be able to hold a weight in the hand where the wrist is injured.

Read funnisam guide. Also a thick bar is all you need if you don’t want specific training for forearms.

P.S.
I haven’t watched the video.
What I find lacking is my grip strength in my routine. My previous routine went from deadlifts to chin ups (dips, but that didn’t load the grip too much) to lunges. By the time I got to lunges, I found it was my grip muscles that were burning/failing before my legs.
If you still have problems with that, try towel pull-ups. Even just hanging on to the towel for as long as you can, can improve grip strength and endurance.
While doing the workout the best way to throw the pain and dont think about it is to listen music ( metal and heavy metal helped me a lot while jogging exp Iron Maiden:D )
