Forearm!

What should I do in other to get meaty forearm? I already tried wrist rollers and wrist curls, but I find them both of them insufferable.

>PS: I already work on my brachioradialis with reverse curls

    Try different set-ups for wrist curls. I do it off a bench with an ezcurl bar and it never hurts.
    Also, if wrist rollers hurt, that's really weird. It's a rope, it's flexible. It shouldn't hurt at all.
    If you really hate both of those though try finger curls. Hammer curls and reverse biceps curls are also good.
    DO NOT fall for the "isometric holds (grip strength/deadhangs/farmers carry) build forearm muscle" meme. They might build forearm strength, but not muscle. You need a contraction and extension for it just like any other muscle group.

        Post forearms big boy. I guarantee mine are bigger.
        Come on, let's see 'em. No person who pushes this isometric hold meme has big forearms.

          NTA but people are so moronic about forearm training. If you told them to only train isometrics for any other muscle, then they’d seethe because it’s not effective. Imagine instead of doing squats for legs, you just do isometrics at a couple of different angles, totally moronic. The wrist should be moved through its ROM in the same way as any other movement.

          so you'd be OP then?

            Let's see yours now. I want to have a laugh at what isometric holds produce in terms of muscular hypertrophy for forearms.

              Literally this. What the frick is different about forearms and abs that 0 ROM isometrics grow them just fine? I guess they're so sensitive to stimulus they need 0 actual ROM and contraction to grow, unlike virtually every single other muscle group in the human body.
              The truth is the people who push these myths are either
              A. Actual fricking morons with no ability to critically think, or
              B. Obese, lazy powershitters/DYELs who cannot be fricked training those muscles so they invent a cope like "squatting trains core bro, you have to squeeze your core to squat" (they have never seen their abs under their powerbloated gut) and "heavy pulls train forearms bro" (they have stick-thin forearms after years of deadlifts).
              And even IF that was true and forearms/abs are super sensitive to stimulus and can grow from isometrics, imagine how much MORE they'd grow from loaded stretches, contractions and extensions. Even with their own logic it makes no sense and is clearly lazy shitter cope.

              This comes off as a classic case of somebody having wrong underlying assumptions and understanding. Then using it those to try to logically play out a statement.
              When things don't workout, you critique the statement but assume the underling base is flawless. So the source of this logical incongruence lies not with you, but the outside, or at least that is the only conclusion one can reach in that set of conditions.

                Currently laughing. Those forearms are mediocre and unremarkable, as are the rest of your arms. I really wouldn't be so confident as to "lol, lmao even" if my forearms looked like that.
                As for your following statement, you provide absolutely no basis of logic for your statement nor do you develop it; you have provided no reason as to why forearm muscle fibres in particular would require ONLY isometric holds to experience hypertrophy, which if it was the case, would be counter-logical seeing as EVERY other muscle group in the body requires a process of a weighted stretch in two parts (extension/negative and contraction/positive) in a movement with range of motion to experience such a hypertrophic result.
                So not only is my assumption logical, the intellectual scaffolding built upon it is equally sound.
                I would like to see what you have to say to that. Every single man I've known that had big forearms did repetitive, weighted movements with ROM. Gripping exercises do not build muscle, anon. They might build strength but those things are totally different, as evidenced by the fact that training programs for strength and hypertrophy are extremely different.

                Bigger than the other guy who posted his forearms that supposedly works specifically for hypertrophy.
                So if the guy who doesn't do any forearm exercises and only isometrically holds on to weight beats the guy who is making it his goal to build forearm size the argument is over.
                Your cope beyond this point is irrelevant.

                You're straight up delusional if you think your forearms are bigger. Your arms in general are very DYEL and mediocre.

      What about hammer curls and the such? Don't they play a big role to big forearms? It's the reason I always do them instead of regular curls
