Workouts to Give Yourself Large Forearms

By Carmen Hakim


A lot of us 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 larger the way you want, and particularly when it comes to have them of equal size. However, it is completely normal for one arm to be a bit larger than the other because of the usage from the principal hand on a daily basis.

Forearm Building Exercises

Doing barbell curls behind the back is your first exercise. You need to use either a barbell rack, or fixed weight barbells for this exercise. For example purposes you will be at the barbell rack. Its is best not to use the Smith machine to do this, except when you have no alternative. Set yourself so that the bar is placed under your waist, so you have to bend over at the knees to pick up the weight. Get your correct weight, and then grab the barbell, similar to how you would for back shrugs. Press your arms against your body and curl upwards as far as you can making sure you use only your forearms. Roll the bar back down and repeat. You should be aiming for 3 sets of 10-15 reps for this exercise.

Another exercise is the rotating wrist movement. Grab a couple of low weight dumbbells that you can do x25 repetitions of. Whilst standing simply just bring your arms up halfway to where they are parallel to the floor at a 90 degree break in the elbow. Begin to rotate your wrists to where the dumbbells rotate inwards and outwards. While 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!

The final 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 hit the lesser recognised muscle groups in the upper arm, which is an additional benefit.

Super Set with Biceps Workouts!

A super set is where you perform another exercise immediately after a different exercise. For instance, to get a burn that will make your arms feel the blood flowing and muscles growing perform biceps curls followed by a forearm exercise. 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 provide a good workout which will leave you with a good feeling the next day.

Stretch out your Arms!

Your arms are necessary for pretty much every lift you perform, and hurting either could cost you considerably. Stretching your arms after your session will help all the small muscles and tendons heal from the intense workout. Also be sure that you keep your wrists mobile by 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 easily result in under development, or even injury on your non-dominant arm.
