    Bag work improved my wrists and forearms considerably.

    bag work or you also can do dumbell lifts by holdin a 10 to 15 pound weight supported by your knee then raising and lowering focus only on your forearm and wrists

    Best for your forarms and wrists..

    Barbell, sit on a bench and grip it overhand. Rest your forarms on your knees, atop your thighsand allow your wrists to dangle. Get the barbell and grip it overhand, now return your wrists to normal, slightly over normal resting position with your arms atop your thighs..

    Now the other side.. you are going to get into a position like you are doing a hack squat. With a barbell behind your back, gripped overhand. Roll your wrists.. I generally do two to three times more weight with this excercise than the first one I mentioned.

    This will get your forarms, wrist and grip strong fast.

    My grip and forearms are quite strong, but my actual wrists sometimes feel weak.
    I am considering training them with some isometrics.

    not sure off the top of my head but if you can find anybody who does aikido or judo ask them what they do to strengthen their wrists, a good chunk of aikido involves wrist locks so they have that **** covered.

    Bruce Lee had the best forearms ever. ^

    Just start with palm up wrist curls and palm down wrist curls and then start adding/replacing the exercises as you get stronger. you should also get a spring loaded gripper and do reps and isometric contractions.

    Some other great forearm strengtheners are:
    zottman curls, leverage bar twists and curls, reverse curls, bar hangs etc.

    GL with it.

    This is the link i meant to give you in my first post:
