Erm why you would want bigger elbows is beyond me but i guess as this is a BODY building site and your elbow is part of your body i will try and help you...
Anything that translates a force through your elbow joint should work, bodybuilding in general will increase bone density and structure size. Bench press will use more weight than other exercises that involve this joint, so i see this as the potentially most beneficial. Hope that helped lol.

and there are plenty of articles describing the anatomy of the forearm and exercises for them on the main site.

Can't workout bones. Your either talking about your forearm or your tricep. Maybe find a picture of a diagram then go into paint and circle the area your talking about then post it up.

Bloody 'ell, and theres me trying to help him get bigger bones. I know EXACTLY what he means now. When your forearms dwarf your upper arms yeah. It's a mass game mate, bring those bi's and tri's up to scratch and they will widen up and create a straighter line.

WOW!
THANK YOU that's exactly what I wanted to hear. but when I look at this picture the tricep doesnt extend into the "lower" upper arms so how can it balance it off? I am just curious?

Re: WOW!
Not exactly sure what you're saying here. I don't think you'll ever manage to completely to get your upper arms to be as wide as the arms surrounding the elbow joint... but rather significantly reduce the difference to the point where it looks completely correct and aesthetically pleasing. Look at the cover of the film triple x, vin diesels forearm is wider, but he upper tri more than makes up for this in overall appearance.Originally posted by mikebob

that's over all tricep/forearm development dude. lol
LOok at all the mass surrounding the bone. Take all that mass away and what do you got? a standard skinny arm.The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. ~Henry Rollins
