Id like to know what has made people who compete have the calibur of forarms that is required.. Do some believe that they are taken care of with core movements.. That was always my theory, but I realize that they need bringing up, especially the back side.. So any suggestions from those with forarms that would stand up on stage please advice.
Off the end of the bench wrist curls
Squeeze machine
Reverse wrist curls
Wrist curls behind the back
Hammer curls
Weighted rope work

hahaha niceee got a billboard up with big swole on it doesnt get any better than that. I like farmers walk for size. Im gonna start doin those that sc layed out
chest stick to whoring the lounge stuff lol.... K swole, so obviously you train your directly.. approx how many days a week did you hit them?
thanx
sorry bout that man didnt mean to mess with your thread..I hit them after back and then later on that week.
First of all I wouldnt say my forearms are gifted enough to be on stage. Some people are just gifted with big forearms. Me I NEVER work my forearms directly and they are only one inch smaller than my upper arm. My forearms look badass but they make my upper arm look too small, lol. If you want your forearms to grow get rid of your lifting straps first of all, and then hit them directly with some excersises such as Swole suggested.
:1hifu: lol. The farmer's walk is an excellent forearm flexor developer.Quote:

Just genitics. That and I'm a mechanic. Turning wrenches where only your hand and the wrench fits does it for me. I train them heavy once a week after training arms. No matter how fat I get during a bulker, you can still see all the muscles in my forearms. I do all those exercises that SwoleCat said.
movements that worked forearms indirectly never did much for me. as swole said behind the back curls, reverse wrist curls off of a bench have done wonders for me.
deadlifts and heavy barbell shrugs and for direct work, SC pretty much summed it up!
deadlifts, pin wheel, reverse preacher curls, hammer curls
Swole pretty well hit the nail on the head with this one.Quote:
