YOU WANT FOREARMS?
Training your forearms will add symmetry and seriousness to your physique. But an unimpressive
forearm development is one of those things that detracts from a complete and well balanced muscular
package.
There are more reasons to train your forearms other than for aesthetics, achieving a complete
forearm development will help you build maximum grip strength and enable you to work with heavier
weights.
The forearms are a complex muscle group that must be targeted with specific exercises and heavy
loads in order to obtain their full potential. If your genetics haven’t enabled you with an ability to build
forearms without any substantial difficulty, you will have to adequately stimulate growth by training
with a smart training program.
Repetitive squeezing and gripping work great for building forearms, below are a list of workouts which
incorporate these movements in combination with heavy weights for you to choose from.
These workouts can be performed at the end of your regular training sessions. Perform them in a
consecutive manner, completing all prescribed sets and reps of one exercise before moving to the
next.
