The forearms and calves are two often overlooked and under trained muscles.
They are responsible for so much more than people give them credit for.
The forearm is responsible for allowing you to be able to lift more weight on the bench press.
If yours are not strong you will not be able to lift very much.
Have you ever had a hard time finishing a set of bicep curls because your grip will not hold? That is because your forearms are weak.
We are going to talk about some ways of building forearm muscle so you can have a stronger grip and lift more in the gym.
We will talk about a few exercises that will give you the much needed strength, size, and stamina needed for these muscles.
When building forearm muscle there are 4 exercises that I like to use.
The first is traditional forearm curls.
Sit on a bench with a barbell in hand.
Lay your arms on your legs and your hands just past your knees.
Then curl the bar towards you and then let it drop all the way down.
Then the second exercise called reverse forearm curls is where you do the same thing but with a reverse grip.
You will be lifting the back of your hand towards the ceiling instead of your palms.
The third exercise is behind the back forearm curls.
This is where you stand with a barbell behind your back.
It will be resting right below your buttocks.
All you do is curl it up using your forearms.
You will feel the burn big time.
The last exercise we will talk about is the grip builders you can buy at any sports store.
You want to keep them with you and use them as much as possible.
Just squeeze them ten times and then switch hands.
You can do this while you are on the phone or while working.
That's what makes it so effective.
So there you have it, 4 of the top exercises for building forearm muscle.
Use these and after a while you will have more stamina, a bigger bulge, and more strength in your forearms.
