I have no idea what works best on these stubburn ass muscles. I don’t have naturally big forearms so I have to put in the extra work trying to build them up.
I’ve been through these phases:
1- Wrist curls, Reverse wrist curls, Reverse curls, Wrist rollers. No luck here. (although zottman curls we’re decent)
2- Heavy gripping, static holds, farmers walk, grippers. Built some strength but not considerable size.
3- (My current program 3x a week for 3 sets of 100 reps) I’m doing rowing exercises using my forearms on a bowflex. After watching the movie “Popeye”, I saw he might have gotten those hugh forearms from rowing a boat; after all he was a sailor man.
Well so far this has actually worked better than anything.
I’m wondering if anybody else has something better or just a different way to work the forearms and build them up.
Looking for some exercises or some tips.
Does anybody have any ideas?
I’ll present my ‘super method’ which I haven’t done in years myself(or any f-arm training for that matter) and my forearms are beginning to look a bit pussy.
Take a 2x4 and some thick screws. Grab a screwdriver. Scew one in with with your right arm and take it out with the other.
Next workout screw in with screw in with left arm. And NO FAILURE! You’ll be sore as hell, but just take some thin ones and work through it. 3x/week at least - but 1-2 medium-thick ones mon-fri is better. Work your way up soldier.

actually smartass, your close
its almost impossible to use your bodyweight in forearms…believe me if i could i would
the closest thing i found to it is hammer grip pullups, another guy mentioned towell pull ups, and right now my grip strength is so strong from all the gripping exercises i’ve went threw that any type of wrist curl i do is a complete waste of time, a whimpy wrist curl of any sort wont do nothing to a strong forearm but give it a good pump. I’m looking for a high frequency routine of a unique exercise to build size. I have built the strength holding 405lbs and doing dead holds. Right now the rowing is working better than holding the heavy ass weight. I think the high frequency is the key i might have been missing.

You have yet to do anything but troll T-Nation and find threads to say something ignorant on and start arguements by pissing people off.
Get the fuck off T-Nation, you have no usefull knowledge. Hell i even included knowledge when i was asking for tips in my thread. I have yet to see “Harris” add info to a thread. He’s a T-Nation genius give him the awrd for biggest asshole with no information.
You trolls can use the thread to amuse yourself. Good luck, i won’t be checking it. Better troll to the next one.
Can’t goat me. all you’ll get outta me is a few “fuck offs”, and stay the fuck off my threads".
You guys are boring.
