Here's a tip!
Use free weights, never use wrist straps, and they will grow!
Simply gripping and holding weight, especially during back exercises, will build them.

I bought straps before, and I dont use them any longer (not for a couple years). Without direct work though my forearms dont really grow much at all, but still, if you give yourself a crutch you will make yourself dependant on it.
I dont use a belt any longer either, that one was harder to get away from.Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao-Tzu

When I stopped using straps and concentrated on "real" back exercises like free weight barbell rows, my forearms grew. The funny thing is before when I used straps I used to do all kinds of wrist curls and ym forearms never grew.

Weird. I do lots of rows, I would not say my strength suffers without direct work but size yes. Some people likewise claim they can do no direct bicep work (a couple guys, I can maybe dig up a name given some time, short philipino guy), but me I have to do direct everything - including neck.
While I get some stimulus with traps also doing some things, every friggin muscle in my body is what I'd call stubborn, minus maybe the chest and somewhat the arms.Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao-Tzu
