Thread: Forearms

Work them. Try holding a weight for a specific time; increase the time and/or weight each session and see how it goes. That's as complicated as it really has to be. You can try forearm curls and things like that, but I've never enjoyed those and I've always felt stupid moving the weight about two inches.

I've found that simple forearm curls really do help, no matter how stupid you look when doing them. Those are the best way to thicken your forearms if you ask me.

Island, I like your signature.

i do seated wrists curls and reverse wrist curls, work well for me and they burn like hell!

Hammer curls, reverse curls and most of all wrist curls.

Ireomend:
THORS HAMMER DB ROTATIONS
BEHIND THE BACK EZ/BB WRIST CURLS
REVERSE GRIP EZ/BB CURLS

See attached pics for progress

doing stuff with a thick bar, or use towels to wrap around a bar. this can also be applied to pull ups.
high rep deads (double overhand)
heavy shrugs (also double overhand)
static holds
farmers walks
pinch gripping plates/DB's
hammer curls
plate curls

thats all i got off the top of my head, i'm sure there are tons more i didn't think of.
