First forearm workout EVAH!

Well today is the first time I worked out my forearms, they sore like helllll, i love it. :P Well are the forearms the type of little muscle that builds fast or they slow? What type of experiences have you had with them?

Forearms heal fast like abs because you need them to do stuff everyday.

Your forearms do gain size...Then you hit a peak, and they tone. At least that is my experience. I like doing reverse curls (wide, medium, and close grip), and wrist rolls.

If you do exercise them everyday, then you might want to go low to mid intensity rather than thoroughly exhaust them with a rigorous routine every single day.

This page has the forearm exercises I currently do. I made them up before reading this page, but they're the same thing. They give me a hell of a pump and gets the muscle that runs from your wrist ( not on the thumb side, but the other side ) rock solid!

yes, these are all good forearm workouts. I especially recomend the reverse curls, they hurt pretty bad. Then again i have pretty wussy forearms lol.

Ive found that working forearms once to twice a week have given me the best results.usually i do my wrist curls after i use no xplode i find that i have about 5 or 6 busted blood vessels on each arm. they are very benefitial to a powerlifter because you can grip heavier weight :P
