Never skip forearm day
I look like this and hit forearms 3 times a week. They won't fricking grow. I do behind the back wrist curls, that thing where you twist a tube with a rope around it tied to a plate (no idea what it's called), and deadhangs. Plus I'm already doing deadlifts, hammer curls, pull ups, and other stuff that should be passively strengthening my forearms. I'm convinced this shit is predetermined by genetics, they're worse than calves.
Get a job stacking boxes in trailers
I already have a real job though
Overtraining maybe?
try farmers walks. Heavy ass weight, walk around holding it in each hand for 40-60s, sets of 5
>unironically recommending isometric exercises for hypertrophy
I hate this gay ass board.
just fricking deadlift moron
i deadlift once a week and my forearms are bigger than my bis/tris ZERO isolations
simple as.
train then to exhaustion. do farmer walks until you can't hold them and drop the weight, wait a few mins and keep going.
Here are mine from a like a week or two ago. All I do is seated barbell curls (3x9 30 kg right now), grippers (4x12 70 kg) and pull-ups/deadhangs. Barbell bicep curls (3x9 35 kg) too, they work forearms. Deadhangs and pull-ups won't make them grow, static holds mostly just make you better at static holds.
Sounds like you aren't working them hard enough.
You won’t grow forearms unless you’re
A-roiding
Or
B- on a stupid bulk
And non negotiably
C- hitting them 4x a week.
Your back/biceps day should kill your forearms, and you should be doing pull-ups on your chest day between bench sets and lateral raises as well that should marginally hit forearms. If not, you need to change your grip or sweat harder while consuming more calories or controlled substances.
And even then you should be realistic: you can’t lift your wrists any bigger than they are. There is no routine to increase the bone density in your humerus. You can get as fat as you want for the appearance of big forearms but at the end of the day there is only so much useful mass you can squeeze onto those bad boys.
Ye this is correct. I've noticed that deadlifts, curls, and pull-ups/chin-ups give me the gnarliest forearms pumps. You really don't need to train forearms directly.
Dead hangs are a gay workout. Go load the bar with 4pl8 at waist height and just pick it up and hold it until you can't anymore.
never use cope straps on any lift
Forearms are one of the muscles that respond well to ultra high reps and going beyond failure with assisted and partial reps etc. The main muscles in this class are forearms, calves, traps, abs, and neck. Just absolutely destroy them, do like 30-50 reps in a set if you have to.
That's why we see the following phenomena: fat guys and runners with big calves, manual laborer with big forearms, metal musician Headbangers with huge necks. They're all doing the equivalent of hundreds of reps with their daily activities.
Of course it is also possible to grow these muscles with fewer reps. But really high reps are a good bet.
I have NEVER directly trained forearms and I mog this entire board.
You're all morons. Heavy deadlifts. Heavy dumbbells. Thats it.
>brags about forearms
>posts wrist
what did he mean by this?
it means hes insecure
Mogged
Oh hey how are you Shelby
Lol please don’t tell me this doofus thinks a checklist off of IST has anything to do with actual desirability.
weak bait
Cope
Pay no attention to this guy. See this thread. He was larping for so long as this machismo rough guy and got totally outed.

very sad!
yeah but that hairless arm screams asian, show penis
shelbygay?
Wow thanks for the picture not of your forearm you moron
abomination
Is hammer curls and farmer's walk enough for forearms?
Weighted pull-ups, dead hangs and reverse grip straight bar curls
Love farmer walk. Forearms usually burning after I'm done.
Farmer's walks are pretty fricking useless if your gym doesn't have some heavy ass dumbbells
Most of them don't
I just use a trap bar
Do pull-ups and chin-ups as well. Those frickers will blow up your forearms as well.
Actually lifting is enough for forearms. Whoever that is in the OP doesn't lift meaningfully.
you can get a sick pump with farmers walks but the stand forearms curl things you can buy with a string attached can get you an absolutely sickening pump with a small amount of weight
Any kind of curl or tricep extension where you nend your wrist and focus on the squeeze shpukd get you to forearm failure before half of when your bicep or tricep fails.
imagine focusing on curls past the age of 16
These are just like my forearms, I can't grow them :'(
Being a wristlet sucks.
Forearms more like threearms haha
I used to hate them for taking up squat racks, but since they've been struck down the consequences have been more powerful than I could have ever imagined. The "le skips leg day" memes made EVERYBODY start squatting and now squat racks are more occupied than ever.
just get hairy arms and they look bigger by default
when your wrists are that fricked just don’t bother with a watch. i have skinny wrists but they make my arms and forearm look massive
Tiny wrists make my forearms look bigger
>forearmlet
>fake IWC
its a yikesaroony from me
The only exercise I do that isolates forearms are reverse curls. The rest are from shit like pull ups and shrugs. Will I make it forearm chads?
Overhand deadlifts and rack pulls? Specifically changing grip width and focusimg on squeezing.
