I am tired of pretending that forearms aren't one of, if not, the most important muscle group. When you work forearms, you are working grip and when you work grip you are working forearms. This is incredibly important unlike other arm muscles like delts, triceps or biceps. Secondly, when you train forearms, you are inadvertently training the rest of your arm like your triceps and biceps. It's a chain reaction, like with hammer curls or reverse curls.
I've already come to the conclusion that the most important muscle groups for strength are back, legs/hip and forearms. Everything else is worked in the process.
What are some of the best forearm/grip exercises?
if its so important and that makes him sooo sexy why does he have such a hag
mental standards
He's fat, and his arms make him look low status (though admittedly intimidating). I think if he was leaner he'd get a better woman, though the hands still look unaesthetic
sometimes a handsome man just needs an ugly wife who knows how to treat him right
Intimidating? I almost started jerking off looking at those breasts.
huh?
she was probably a dime back in the day and they stayed together bc he loves his tradwife
You zoomers wouldnt understand
There are only really two worthwhile forearm exercises, the reverse curl(for brachioradialis) and the wrist curl(for forearm flexor). Obviously you also hit them in movements like pullups and curls. High reps is a good way to work forearms imo
Apart from that you can just hold really heavy weights for as long as you can if you want. Oh and those little spring type things you can squeeze
>reverse curl
What about hammer curls?
less efficient
seems like a 50/50 split between biceps and forearms.
It's not targeting the forearm as directly. I forgot to mention that wide bars are another way to train forearm.
hammer curls gave me massive forearms
also dropsets with easy bars
>reverse curl
Good exercise but miss me with this classic echo chamber hyperbolic epi-reductionist drivel of doing only the bare minimum. It’s like the compound only meme routines.
Reverse curl only statically works the extensors.
There’s only more benefit in training more exercises for forearms, you can work to such extreme failure and pain but being small muscle groups still not be too systemically fatigued. And the fingers and wrist have the most numerous and complex movement patterns out of any in the human body. Are you really only going to only ever do two exercises for them (plus static work from compounds)? Never training abduction, supination, etc etc? Never training fingers directly to get that levelled up dexterity and crush ability? If you take forearms seriously you should be doing about 4-6 exercises for them on a given forearm day. Unless you’re poor and need to spend your time at work instead of lifting, or you have a job turning a wrench/pliers/etc and you can get away with just doing rehabilitation exercises to balance that out.
>Reverse curl only statically works the extensors
Hence wrist curls as well. That covers the two main muscle groups in the forearm
>4-6 forearm exercises.
Lol ok if you want but it's not necessary. I'm pretty sure Lee priest just did wrist curls
>given forearm day
This, I do:
Day 1: Lift (Squat)
Day 2: Grip (Reverse Curls, Wrist Curls, Hammer Curls, CoC, Deadhangs, Pullups, Squeeze isometrics, Rice squeezing)
Day 3: Lift (OHP)
Day 4: Grip (Reverse Curls, Wrist Curls, Hammer Curls, CoC, Deadhangs, Pullups, Squeeze isometrics, Rice squeezing)
Day 5: Lift (Deadlift)
Day 6: Grip (Reverse Curls, Wrist Curls, Hammer Curls, CoC, Deadhangs, Pullups, Squeeze isometrics, Rice squeezing)

Kek I've watched this dude's channel. I like the Irish gardener guy too. Pretty weird, but when your life is plants...
Forearms and ankle muscles are the most neglected muscle groups.
Most normies don't realize how crucial they are for stability and sustained growth
Why does he remind me of an overinflated shawn michaels?
You porn addicts would end it right now if you knew what your options were going to look like in their middle-age.
so lets see your awesome 4arms instead of this mutant with acromegaly, homosexual
looks like he has edema in his arms
I could tell you how I once had 15.5" forearms, but I'm not sure if you deserve to know, anon.
>once had
It's not about what you've done
It's about what you've done lately
Shoulda coulda woulda ass homie
I could have them again, but I don't really feel like adding back in 2 days/week of grip-specific training focusing on forearm growth. Shit gets boring even with all the variety you can work in.
Must suck to never know and never be able to get there, as is your case.
it’s obvious you were fat
