Nothing grew my forearms more than ditching the straps on rows and lat pulls.
Also hammer curls feel way comfier and natural to me so that's my main bicep movement.
You must pair it up with any other forearm exercise as an isometric component. Easy.
Lol your 50 lb farmers walks aren't gonna do shit (unless you really go for distance, like around a track so 400m or more)
Start doing rack pulls or something
Yea you’re small
Yeah you're fat
>cope pull
do weighted pullups on a 10mm edge.
I once heard someone said you should do farmer walks with weight on one side at a time because it forces you to balance out the weight rather than the weight on both sides balancing each other out. Is this true?
no that's mostly for posture training. Normal both sided farmerswalk is better for your forearms/strength
I do that too, and that actually improved the muscles next to the abs, can't remember their name
Obliques. Single farmers walks plus side crunchers will have you walk like robocop for days. They're worth it, though
>unless you aren't cut
>like me
>working on it tho
That's suitcase walks, hits the obliques and quadratus lumborum too. I think it's the better exercise, but you can't lift as heavy so it doesn't work grip that much. I prefer deadhangs for grip though.
It is. Farmers walks with weight on both sides is just a meme excercise, it doesn't train anything, the weight on each side cancel each other.
Core, traps, stability, overall CNS activation, grip strength.
It does little for hypertrophy but is good for overall strength.
You're moronic.
I do them and and it destroys my forearms. Also enjoy walking the length of my gym w my arms farming mires.
I would like to try heavier weights, but for what I have at the gym, the 45 plates are most comfy grip wise.
>broscience
Physics does not work that way tho. There is simply no load on your body, as both sides cancel eachother out.
Go lift 200lb dumbbells on each side cause they cancel each other out then
Something is holding them up off the ground, you know
Farmer's walk is the ultimate final exercise of the day. Nothing feels better when you have completed that final set of walking and drop the heavy ass weights. Feels like you are walking on the moon with how light you feel.
wrist roller is the best for upper forearms, nothing comes even close
anyone who disagrees is a small wristed Black person israelite
I do farmer walks for strength and posture
I do hammer curls and pull ups for forearms
The forearms are the claves of the upper body, they'll get much stronger before they get much bigger. Just keep it up and report back after a year.

Do it with plates you pussy.
Forearms, calves, traps and the core muscles all require high frequency to develop. Remember that these muscles are used almost 24/7 for tasks and must be able to handle incredible volume and keep functioning. Farmers walks hit all 4, but you need to be doing them very often. If you can, do em every session at the end with the heaviest thing you can carry that day. Sometimes you'll use 50s, sometimes it's 120s, sometimes you need a trap bar or actual handles loaded into the several hundreds, the point is just to get them in and make it as difficult as you can manage *that particular day* and don't worry if it isn't as much as the previous days.
forearm size along with calves are genetic.
>genetic
more like fat %
It's not so much the size as the insertions and wrist size. You can grow your forearms but if you have small wrists or shitty insertions (with the forearm muscle starting too high up the arm) you will look like shit.
Wrap a gym towel around each weight, then hold the kettlebell
yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist_curl
Yes. Go search for videos of Ronnie Coleman traing farmers walks. They dont exist. He never did. Just stop. Deadlift is better.
>3 months
how much did you start with
how much are you lifting after those 3 months?
Imagine doing a static exercise in an attempt to grow a muscle.
