IOW, you don’t even look like you train. So why are you ARGUING with people as if you have an opinion worth sharing?

x2, all the “forearm” exercises suggested for DC are exercises that most people use for biceps. Hammer curls…we all do those
Pin Wheel curls…Essentially hammer curls but you curl across the body
Reverse curls…most people do these
It’s nothing you haven’t done before.d
I agree
Some people can get away without direct forearm work. Yet with me as soon as I added in reverse cable curls, hammer curls religiously. With an added forearm stretch after. I’ve noticed my forearms are looking a lot fuller/thicker.
Honestly I don’t see what the big fuss is . Hitting your forearms real hard 1-2 twice a week isn’t real inefficient time wasted like stated earlier.
Your forearms have a real complex musculature. I think for most some heavy direct work hitting different sides will bring up noticeable results as long as there eating enough to gain overall size.[/quote]
I’m trying to think of a method of stretching my forearms that wouldn’t hurt my wrist. Care to elaborate how you’re doing it?

If I’m not mistaken DC suggests putting some weight on a BB and holding it infront of you using your fingertips, also ensure it is not resting against your leg. I either do that or hokd a heavy DB in each hand when I stretch.
Yeah, it’s like the bottom portion of a wrist curl. It’s fucking excruciating.

You know, My forearms almost get more of a stretch than my bis when I do the DC standard bicep stretch… So I’ve never tried any direct forearm stretch. Guess that depends on the person though.
Do you do the standard bicep stretch, CC? I prefer the incline bicep stretch.

The standard has always worked well for me.
My arms were already over 18 at 5’10 though when I started doing that one, it seems that a lot of guys with smaller arms have trouble with that stretch (same goes for the standard tricep stretch… Though I don’t like that one actually, feels odd on the shoulders). Dunno if bicep-length has anything to do with it either (mine are rather long but not overly peaked).
Yeah, I don’t consider my arms long by any means but they definitely are very peaked.
