Develop Muscular Forearms

By Winnie Voshell


A lot of people face the challenge of building their forearms to par with their biceps and triceps. It can be a real struggle to not only get them big, but also proportional to the remainder of your arm. Having said that, it is completely normal for one arm to be a little bigger than the other because of the usage from the dominant hand on a day to day basis.

Workouts for Building your Forearms

The initial exercise is behind your back barbell curls. You need to use either a barbell rack, or fixed weight barbells for this exercise. We shall assume you are at the barbell rack for this example. Try not to use the smith machine for this exercise except if you are short on time and need to use the only piece of equipment accessible. Place the bar below your waist level to the spot where you have to slightly bend at the knees to grab 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. With your arms pressed up against your body for stability, curl the bar upwards making certain you mainly use your forearms. Slowly lower the bar and then repeat. This is best performed x3 sets of x10-x15 repetitions.

An additional exercise is the rotating hand exercise. Grab a couple of low weight dumbbells that you can do x25 repetitions of. Begin with your arms bent at 90 degree and your forearms parallel to the ground. Begin to rotate your wrists to where the dumbbells rotate inwards and outwards. When carrying this out begin to slowly raise your arms upwards and then downwards in a continual slow movement. This is making all the muscles in you forearms get a burn.

The last exercise is a reverse curl with dumbbells. Grab moderate dumbbells and simply curl your wrists as the weights are to your sides. These curls also reach the less recognised muscle groups in the upper arm, which is an added bonus.

Super Set with Biceps Exercise routines!

Supersets are basically doing one exercise after another without rest. In this example you may complete normal bicep curls, followed straight away by one of the forearm exercises listed 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 give you a super burn and will ensure you are tender the following day!

Ensure You Stretch!

Your arms are clearly very useful to you and you don't wish to hurt them. There are many muscle heads and tendons located on your arms that need stretching, and your biceps and forearms are the easiest to injure without stretching. Also make certain you keep your wrists mobile by simply rotating and stretching the joint. Keep your posture and form correct, and make sure you use the same weight on both arms to prevent unbalanced development. Virtually all arms which turn out to be one larger than the other result from bad technique in exercises for the non-dominant hand.
