Forearm Help

[Bodybuilding_MD]

Hi guys, Need some help building my forearms. There is quite a disparity between my forearms and biceps. My forearms just wont grow, but my biceps are. I do seated wrist curls once a week, usually on Bicep Day.
Perhaps I was under the delusion that curling also worked forearms and that would be enough.
Is it feasible to work forearms more than once a week? Are there exercises that are "better" than regular wrist curls?
Thanks

Brian

Hey Brian, assming the pics you have in your profile are current, I think your forearms are very much proportional to your upper arms.

Hi, thanks for the reply,
I think it is the extensor side of my forearms that is the problem. There is very little definition and they seem small at the wrist
I was thinking of finishing off my bicep workouts with reverse bicep curls. I do appreciate your opinions.

Do the curls with the grip facing outwards. This will target the forearm more, as well as bicep.

heres my favorite forearm workout..... you out a barbell behind your back and let it hang to your but...you want it so your palms are facing away from your....then just curl your hands up and it makes your forearms BURN..... add weight to barbell if nessecary....

I also wanted to add that forearms need a lot of work to really add bulk. This is becuase we use them everyday so much that they need special attention to really get full development. Other lifts involving pulling also do work the forearm to a slight degree.

If your forearms are a problem, then don't just work them once per week, after your biceps. Work them before your biceps, first off, and secondly, work them more often. Two or three times a week is okay. Also, when doing pulldowns or pullups, use a false (thumbless) grip. If you deadlift, then use a both hands overhand grip instead of a switched grip.

Hey Guys, wow, thanks for all the advice.
One quick question, how do plate pinches work?
I will update my pics with some forearm shots as they grow. Thanks again.
