Increase the Size of Your Forearms

By Vania Griffieth


A lot of us face the task of building their forearms to par with their biceps and triceps. It can be a real challenge to not just get them big, but also proportional to the rest of your arm. There is possibly the issue of one arm being bigger than the other as a result of dominance of either your left or right arm.

Forearm Developing Exercises

Doing barbell curls behind the back is your initial exercise. The best 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. Its is best not to use the Smith machine to do this, unless you do not have any choice. Position the bar below your waist level to the place where you need 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. Push your arms up against your own body and curl upwards as far as you can making certain you are using only your forearms. Roll the bar back down and repeat. This is best completed x3 sets of x10-x15 repetitions.

An additional exercise is the rotating hand action. You will be doing about 25 reps of this one, so get some light weights to begin with. Begin 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. While carrying this out start to slowly raise your arms upwards and then downwards in a constant slow motion. This is making all the muscles in you forearms get a burn.

Another great forearm curl is done by using dumbbells at the side whilst sitting or standing. Grab moderate dumbbells and simply curl your wrists as the weights are to your sides. Reverse curls additionally help develop the forearms considerably while also reaching the brachialis, which is the muscle group which is located beneath your biceps.

Super Set with Biceps Exercise routines!

Supersets are basically doing one exercise after another without rest. As an example, to get a burn that will leave your arms feel the blood pumping and muscles developing complete biceps curls and then a forearm exercise. Grab a barbell and place an almost heavy weight amount and perform the curls correctly. This means no using the back or legs to help you lift the weight. Immediately afterward, grab a lighter weight and perform the dumbbell wrist curls. This will give you a super burn and will make sure you are aching the next day!

Stretch out your Arms!

Your arms are essential for almost every lift you perform, and hurting one or both could cost you significantly. Stretching your arms after your session will help all the small muscles and tendons heal from the intense workout. 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. Poor technique can certainly contribute to under development, or even injury in your non-dominant arm.
