Concern over forearm growth

Training
1

I am trying for a few months now. But my forearm size is definitely has not changed much. When I started it was 11" now 13" (3 months period). Now my Target is to achieve atleast 17" if possible 20-23" in next 3 years. Mean while my arm has blown up. It was 13" when I started currently 17". Feel like it’s an extremely disproportionate growth. (Growth Difference of 2").

My workout routine is followes.
Wrist extension & flexion, static standing, rope hammer curl, rope reverse curl. 5x15, 3 times a week with 48 hours gap

Where am I going wrong. What should I change?

If 18% growth in 90 days didn’t meet your expectations, you may be in for a lot of disappointment as this journey continues.

Your upper arm is supposed to be bigger than your forearm. Am I misunderstanding the question?

Also, adding 4” to your arm is borderline miraculous. How much weight did you gain?

Maybe if you wrap the tape measure twice, lol.
You are not making 23" or even 20" forearms.

Ignorant troll post.

Im curiouse what your height and weight is?

I dont think you have a handle how big a actual 20- 23 forearm is. Or how much overall bodyweight and mass you’ll need to gain for a additional 10 inches .

Reportedly, Frank McGrath had 18.5 inch forearms, so you’re shooting for around 4-5 inches bigger? Seems doable. :wink:

Putting things in prospective for the Op

I tried myself and got carpal tunnel. I think there is a issue of diminish returns on that to a point.

It would be helpful if OP gave us much more information. Like:

  • Age
  • Weight
  • Height
  • Strength numbers for any major lift
  • Picture

You’re close to a good workout, just

Ditch the rope
Adjust exercise order
Lower the reps
Rest longer between workouts

Check out this example from Charles Poliquin

EZ Bar Reverse Curl x 6-8 reps, 5 count eccentric, rest 10 seconds
DB Hammer Curl x 6-8 reps, 4 count eccentric, rest 10 seconds
EZ Bar Reverse Curl x 6-8 reps, 5 count eccentric, rest 2 minutes
Do 3 rounds. Give your arms 4 days to grow then train again on the 5th day.

That puts things into focus.

But the more information, it is easier to detect the fabrications.

It is not unusual that the person with large forearms has matching large calves.

Does the O.P. have large calves?

He could always post a pic.

I am not expecting much.
