Forearms, like calves, need continous time under tension to get them to grow… whether it’s a concentric, eccentric or a static contraction. If your arms are starting to get that turkey drumstick look, doing a couple reps here and there won’t do much. You have to lose the straps for some of your pulling movements, walk around with some 100-pound dumbbells… they need volume.

I feel that deadlifts do enough for my forearms. Deadlifts combined with pullups (anything that require grasping a large amount of weight) will make forearms grow.

When I was a kid we rolled concrete blocks in a napsack around a broom handle to build our forearms. Literally a rope tied to a broom handle tied to a sack of blocks. It is to this day the best forearm builder going.

In my experience the best way to develop forearms is using a forearm roller. It is basically a stick with a rope and weights tied to it. You can see how to make one at http://www.impulseadventure.com/weights/roller.html
Hope this wouldn’t count as spam or advertising since it’s on the topic and I’m not related with this site.Anyway…
If you’re trying to build strength then your best friend is the rope (or towel) pull up.

I’m a skinny guy, and have spent a lot of time at the gym trying to build any muscle mass. While my biceps and triceps started to develop, my forearms have always been a sore sight for me because they remain thin, and well, apparently muscleless. Thanks for the input.

forearm rollers is the best thing that can be used for developing forearms

Forearms usually do take longer to see results. But often the reason for this is because people do not specifically target them with forearm exercises. If you neglect a muscle group, you cannot expect it to grow.

i think the best fore arm tool is the old lead ball tied to a stick. We used to have that thing in high school and you couldnt beat it.

I am an armwrestler who was ranked 2nd in the nation in 06. Yes, forearms take a lot of work to become strong and big. I hit forearms 4 times a week. I can bend bolts and lever sledge hammers. But you must use heavy dumb-bells and barbell’s for many wrist-curls in all angles. Wrist rollers will only get you so far in size and will not build any strength what-so-ever, because you cannot use heavy weight with them. Do not baby your forearms. Hit them often and hit them hard and heavy, and do it for years and years. That is the only way to build freaky looking and freaky strong forearms.

I have never had a problem with forearm’s in relation to biceps, naturally my bicep’s stop at about 19 inches or actually a little less.
My forearm’s are about 16 to 17 at there biggest.
I have never did forearm exersizes for any length of period and truly rely on heavy curls, concentrations and do heavy back work including heavy dumbell rows and dips with weight attached.

I’ve never had trouble developing my forearms. In fact I’ve always looked at it from the perspective that your forearms are being worked practically every time you workout, whether you mean for them to or not.

Yep, you’re forearms are getting a workout all the time you train. Therefore they need to be really shocked to grow. What Tom says is some good advice. Don’t train them last. There not blow off muscles at all!
Thanks for the post.

Developing the forearms is very important and is often overlooked. I like to use hand grippers and perform curls, to target the main forearm muscle groups. Well, I’m about to check out that article…

Strong hands & forearms are very important! I use Captains of Crush hand grippers and I used to do the wrist roll thing, but it gets old. French Curls are also effective along with big bar training.

Forearms are one of those areas of the body that are so important, but often overlooked in creating an exercise routine. Good to see some tips focusing on this area.

Forearm development should only be taken in consideration for those sports that need forearm strength. The everyday person can strengthen their grip to help with everyday things like opening jars or turning a tool.

I think that most men do concentrate on building up their forearms, but it is an area of the body that many women do not really think about. It is always good to make sure you are training as many muscles in your body as possible.

If your arms are starting to get that turkey drumstick look, doing a couple reps here and there won’t do much.

The forearms often get neglected during training, simply because most folks think that they get enough secondary work through the various exercises that they perform during their regular routine. In a sense, that is true, but adding a few grip exercises and a couple grip alterations of curls along with other exercises, can go a long way. Hey, a lot of people may be strong and can bench press enormous amounts, for example, but not everyone has the mighty hand grip strength that can rip phone books apart with ease. Cheers!

I totally agree that big forearms make for an impressive physique. I realized that and have been trying to build big biceps fast ever since. Working on triceps too is very important as they constitute about two thirds of the forearm vs the biceps' one third.
