Workouts for Muscular Forearms

By Treasa Ton


Some people face the task of building their forearms to par with their biceps and triceps. You may have discovered just how tough it is to get those forearms bigger the way you wish, and especially when it comes to have them of the same size. Having said that, it is perfectly normal for one arm to be a bit larger than the other because of the usage from the principal hand on a regular basis.

Exercises for Developing your Forearms

Performing barbell curls behind your back is your initial exercise. The simplest way to do this is at a barbell rack, or with the set weight barbells. For example purposes you will be at the barbell rack. Try not to use the smith machine for this exercise except if you are limited on time and need to use the only piece of equipment accessible. Position the bar below your waist level to the place where you need to somewhat bend at the knees to get the weight. Add the weight you want (preferably just the bar until after a practice set) and then bend down and grab the bar as if you were going to do behind the back shrugs. Press your arms against your own body and curl upwards as far as you are able to making sure you are using only your forearms. Roll the bar back down and repeat. This is best performed x3 sets of x10-x15 repetitions.

Next you can try out the rotating wrist actions. Grab a couple of low weight dumbbells that you can do x25 repetitions of. Start with your arms bent at 90 degree and your forearms parallel to the ground. From here, rotate your wrists inwards and outwards whilst holding the dumbbells. Whilst rotating, gently contract your arms up and down, almost like doing a bicep curl. By doing this, you are hitting all the muscles in your forearms and getting a real burn!

Another good forearm curl is performed with dumbbells at the side when sitting or standing. Grab moderate dumbbells and simply curl your wrists as the weights are to your sides. Reverse curls additionally help build the forearms greatly while also reaching the brachialis, which is the muscle group that is found below your biceps.

Use Supersets for further Benefit

Supersets are basically doing one exercise after another without rest. In this example you could complete normal bicep curls, followed immediately by one of the forearm exercises mentioned above. Grab a barbell and place an almost heavy weight amount and perform the curls correctly. Use correct form, keeping your back and legs out of the movement. Immediately afterwards perform a set of side dumbbell wrist curls. This will guarantee a good work out routine that will leave you with a good feeling the following day.

Make Sure You Stretch!

Your arms are essential for almost every exercise you complete, and hurting either could cost you greatly. Stretching your arms after your session will help all the small muscles and tendons heal from the intense workout. Also make sure you rotate your wrists around and bend them back to get a good stretch which will keep wrist fractures away. If you notice that either of your arms are starting to get bigger then use more weight on the under developed arm, and make sure you are watching your posture and technique. Poor technique can easily result in under development, or even injury on your non-dominant arm.
