“Queen of Tears,” which continued its unprecedented success and brought joy to many viewers earlier this year, concluded on the 28th of last month. The drama ended with the characters Baek Hyun Woo (played by Kim Soo Hyun) and Hong Hae In (played by Kim Ji Won) overcoming hardships and steadfastly preserving their love.
Even after a month since the drama ended, the popularity of the lead actors Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won remains high.
In addition to the sweet and perfect chemistry between the two actors that excited the viewers, there was another element that made the viewers’ hearts flutter.
It was Kim Soo Hyun’s exceptional forearm muscles.
As summer approaches, it is inevitable to show your forearm muscles when wearing short sleeves. We introduce five exercises to build attractive forearm muscles like Kim Soo Hyun.
1. Wrist Curls
The wrist curl is an exercise that can actively strengthen the forearm muscles. It can be done anywhere and anytime as long as you have a dumbbell.
Sit on a bench or chair, place your forearms on the bench or your knees, and hold the dumbbell with your palms facing up.
Then, using only your wrist, slowly lift the dumbbell to the maximum height possible. During the exercise, your forearm should remain stationary.
After lifting it to the maximum height, slowly lower your wrist. Repeat this process moderately.
2. Reverse Wrist Curls
As the name suggests, reverse wrist curl is an exercise that reverses the movement of the wrist curl that was introduced previously.
The initial and final movements are identical to the wrist curls, but your palms should face down instead of up when holding the dumbbell.
When doing the wrist curl exercises, it is recommended to choose a dumbbell with a weight that allows you to control the movement of your wrist rather than an excessively heavy one.
3. Hammer Curls
The hammer curl exercise involves holding the dumbbells with your palms facing each other, and then lifting the dumbbells while keeping your elbows stationary.
Lift the dumbbell to the maximum height possible, then slowly return to the original position.
During the exercise, keep your elbows at your sides and use only your arm strength to lift the dumbbell to prevent your upper body from swaying.
4. Pull-up with Towel Grip
Hang two towels on the pull-up bar and grip the ends of the towels with both hands. With your palms facing each other, firmly grip the towel and pull your body upwards.
Once you have pulled your body to the maximum height, slowly return to the original position.
During the exercise, hold the towel shoulder width apart, and your elbows should be close to your body when pulling your body up.
5. Plate Pinch
Stand straight with your palms facing down, and hold two weight plates with your fingers and thumb.
When gripping the plate, make sure to hold it with only your fingers so that the forearm muscles are stimulated.
After firmly grasping the plate, hold still for a certain period and then slowly put the plate down.
It is recommended to start with a light weight and gradually increase the weight.
