How to get Larger Forearms

By Vania Griffieth


A challenge that numerous individuals face is growing their forearm proportions to equal their biceps and triceps. You probably have discovered just how difficult it is to get those forearms larger the way you wish, and in particular when it comes to have them of equal size. 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 daily basis.

Forearm Developing Exercises

The first exercise is behind the back barbell curls. You should 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 unless you are limited on time and need to use the only machine accessible. Set yourself so your bar is positioned beneath your waist, so you have to bend over at the knees to grab the weight. Get your correct weight, and then grab the barbell, similar to how you would for back shrugs. With your arms pressed up against your body for stability, move the bar upwards making sure you mainly use your forearms. Roll the bar back down and repeat. You should be aiming towards 3 sets of 10-15 reps for this exercise.

An additional exercise is the rotating hand action. Grab a couple of low weight dumbbells that you can do x25 repetitions of. Whilst standing up simply bring your arms up halfway to where they are parallel to the ground at a 90 degree break in the elbow. Begin to rotate your wrists to where the dumbbells rotate inwards and outwards. When carrying this out begin to gently raise your arms upwards and then downwards in a continual slow motion. This is making all the muscles in you forearms get a burn.

The final exercise is a reverse curl with dumbbells. You will need medium weighted dumbbells, and then basically perform a bicep curl with your hands facing the opposite way. Reverse curls additionally help develop the forearms considerably as well as impacting the brachialis, which is the muscle group which is located under your biceps.

Super Set with Biceps Workout routines!

Supersets are basically doing one exercise after another without rest. For example, to get a burn that will leave your arms feeling the blood pumping and muscles growing complete biceps curls and then a forearm activity. Perform the bicep curls with medium-heavy weights, as you normally would. Use correct form, keeping your back and legs out of the movement. Immediately afterwards perform a set of side dumbbell wrist curls. This will guarantee a good work out routine which will leave you with a good feeling the following day.

Stretch your Arms!

Your arms are needless to say very valuable to you and you wouldn't like to damage them. 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. Bad technique can certainly result in under development, or even injury in your non-dominant arm.
