    Yeah I was curious... They seem pricey for what they really are. Seems like they shouldn't be more than $15-$20. I haven't done lot of research but the cheapest I've seen are around $40.

    Most ppl say you don't need to work out the forearms separately cause they get worked with everything else. I however strive for massive forearms so generally twice a month at least I will spend 15 mins working them. I usually superset with three different lifts. For example, reverse curls or hammers, wrist curls, reverse wrist curls.
    Man when your wearing a shirt and jeans the thing everyday ppl are gonna notice are those forearms. I dont want anyone to have any doubt that there is a beastly body behind the shirt. Although sometimes I will wear size medium and take out all the guessing.

    I like doing single arm reverse curls with the cables. I go at a few different angles with it, and also include some drop sets.

    I worked them 10 years ago when I thought you needed to. Now it's just deadlifts pull ups and every other single exercise I do works them.

    I purchased a set of the FatGripz, I used them once. They were a pain in the arse to move on drop sets etc. the didn't quite fit the bars or dumbells at both of the gyms I train at.
    I gave up, and handed them to the gym owner, I'm not sure if he uses them or not!

    I got a pair but there is too much gap when it goes over a bar that is already semi thick. I should use them more but meh.

    I would have set the over/under at 7.5 for masterbation responce. Was the first exercise on my list but they frown on you doing it at the gym. At least mine does.
