building forearms w/hand squeezer?
I just picked up a set of those forearm/grip excersizers, the ones you squeeze with the handles and the big spring in the middle...since I got them I have been doing it alot while watching tv/driving, etc..after alot of squeezes it really starts to burn up my forearms like hell..it gives me crazy pumps. is this this too much on the forearms to do when not using them at the gym? can they be over trained? my father always swung a hammer day in and day out all day when working as a carpenter and his forearms were always really big, so I can't see forearms being an easily overtrained muscle group...........

i assume you want bigger forearms? start incorporating hammer curls if you dont already do so to your bicep day.

personally i dont think there is any need to train forearms as a seperate unit, because they are already under pressure from so many diffrent exercise, eg...curls, pushdowns, flys etc....

Unless you've got a series of progressively firmer tensioned hand grippers, I would only see you hitting the fast-twitch muscle fibers. Kind of like bench pressing 20 lbs for five sets of 90 wouldn't yield much in terms of mass gains in the chest.
