Stop using grips and straps, eta a shit load of food for a few years while gaining a good 30 or 40lbs of muscle and yours will be Hyyoooogggeeee as well.
I have never trained my forearms directly. I always say I may do so eventually just to see how they will develop, but while I used to use straps initially, I haven’t worn them in several years.[/quote]
I don’t use straps, never appealed to me. If I start doing shrugs I may acquire some but until then I don’t think I can have enough grip strength.
I remember you mentioning that somewhere as well, I was also kinda shocked to read that.
I don’t train my forearms directly either, but nor do I bodybuild.I’m finding myself increasingly interested in changing my training towards BB’ing but I’m still gaining some strength back after a neck injury and even more recently a back injury.
Oops, sorry. /end pointless hijack

Sorry I don’t have any jokes about boning teachers, lunk alarms etc.
serious question, I only use straps when dead lifting. All other back pulling movements are without straps. Should I be concerned about my fore arms?
HM, you should give us some details/a peak into your training and nutrition! I can’t speak for others, but to me, you’re an inspiration. Guys like you, Evan, Way, Bug, DOHcrazy (wherever he is now lol) and others of a young age are super motivators to the rest of us!
Don’t make me beg, cuz I will
