This weeks exercise is so simple it doesn't need a video or a picture. At the end of your workout get into a power rack and set the pins up below waist height. Load some weight on the bar (I'd say either 185 or 225). Now, I know the headline says "fat bar". If you're able to use one great. If not, get a towel and wrap it and around the bar. Or there is a great product out there called Lynx Performance Grips. Check them out at http://www.lynxpt.com/. I've been using them for any pulling movements and boy will you feel the difference in your forearms. Anyways, whatever bar or implement you're using, reach down grab it and hold on for dear life. When that bar slips out of your hands, rest for 2-3minutes and repeat for one more set.
Over time, watch your strength numbers and performance improve.
Yeah I know. That's not a picture of the Fat Bar Hold. That's a picture of a beach in Mexico, where I will be next week on an overdue vacation So until I'm done soaking up some rays and having a few Coronas, give some Fat Bar Holds a try. And when I'm back, maybe the next Exercise of the Week will have something to do with sitting on a beach with drink in hand. See ya.
