The best forearm exercise to do is barbell wrist curls. I usually do about 3-5 sets till failure on top of every arms workout I do. If you're really lacking on forearms do at least 2 sets till failure after every workout you do. You'll get a nice pump and see improvements in size after a short while.

I use Fat Gripz on light deads, bent over rows, curls, pullups, and competition kettlebell farmers carries. They really blast your forearms. I also use a forearm device that you have to pull a weight up attached to a rope. Once up and down with a 10lb weight and my forearms are on fire. I also have a neck harness but only use that like once a week..need to put that to more use.

My wife works her neck every couple days or so. I love looking down watching her do it.

I usually work forearms after/while reading stuff like this

Mute this because this dude is a tool!!!! I do these for my neck but also do deads and shrugs too.

For the forearms thick bar when doing deads and axel press!

I can see if that is done wrong it is a trip to the ER and a cervical collar.

At my gym we have a machine for neck and forearms I was thinking of adding these to my routine. Anyone work these out seperate.

IMO exercises isolating the neck are not worth the time unless you are playing a contact sport; other compound and core lifts will hit similar muscles in a better and more time efficient manner. I have never isolated forearms through rollers or grip machines and I am kind of skeptical how helpful they would be over simply deadlifting, rows etc since the load on the forearm in a deadlift/row/etc should be greater anyways. I suppose if you always use straps then incorporating some specific forearm lifts would be a good idea. If you have the time to spend on forearms, go for it I guess, I would rather spend my time in the gym doing something else.

I can honestly say in 8 years of lifting, ive never trained my neck with an isolatory exercise . I get it, some people want a strong neck. I saw a dude get punched in the throat once and he didnt even flinch. It was some fuckin manly shit.

i do hit forearms, though. I find that since you use em in so many other exercises, they tend to grow proportionately (for me at least)
