Pseudonym Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I don't often do separate forearm exercises - I usually figure they get enough work through other exercises like rows, pulldowns, etc. Sometimes I'll add them in for a bit if I feel they're lagging, though.The exercises you've got there look pretty good. I discovered another one kind of by accident recently. Grab a plate in each hand, and hold it with your fingers through the center hole. Let both arms hang at your sides. With the heel of your palm, push down onto the plate, and pull up with your fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy had a BB but had only had weights on one side and was doing curls with it. Weird. How would that work the forearms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahman Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 well u dotn do it az you would a bicep curl as u would only move from your wrist downwards so you are not moving your elbow and most of your arm at all reallyjust your hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2guns Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 i just like seated wrist curls or behind the back standing ones or bicep curls with yr palms facing downward.i dont do any forearm work my self.i think they get a good thrashing doing heavy deadlifts, pull ups, curls etc.just be patient they will come.

Pride&Perfection Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 jahman, when you say they have come quite far already what do you mean? Do you do all of the exercises that you listed above, consecutively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammo Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Plate pinches are good, so are farmers walks.These are more endurance exercises though & will help with grip strength on exercises such as the deadlift.Wrist curls on the other hand won't help much with grip strength but will help with muscle building.Have you tried the old broom handle, rope & weight roller (easy to make at home)?
