Forearm question

[jsp16]

Does the forearm muscles help in the following:

-Squats
-Overhead Press
-bench
-deadlifts
-curls
-rows
-chins

???

If so I'm gonna get a wrist roller to built up the muscles

[DJAuto]

Absolutely.

Not so much for the squat, bench or the overhead press, but definitely for all the pull lifts.

Imo forearm strength is very important in terms of real world strength.

Regardless of whether or not it will help with the lifts you've mentioned I'd train them.

[Talos88]

Yeah forearm strength & grip strength are very important for lifting.

[Mohammed786]

You tend to utilise your forearm in most exercises (exception of legs)...

Training them directly would benefit the pulling exercises and general grip strength as already mentioned above.
