Big 'popeye' Forearms!

**popeye_99** · 07-25-2005, 04:10 PM

Simple. People don't train them often enough. I train mine 3 times a week+ and they have grown to just short of 15''.

EXERCISES YOU JUST NEED TO DO:

1. www.ironmind.com - Captains of Crush grippers

2. Reverse barbell bicep curls

3. Hammer curls across the chest

4. Wrist curls (loads!) Start with low reps high weight and finish off with high reps (20-30), light weight.

Make a wrist roller

The wrist roller is a legend for building up forearms! www.ironmind.com sells these. Have a look at one, and see if you can make one of your own by looking at it!

No, typing is not intense enough to create a burn in the forearms.

If you are going to be a jerk, don't bother posting.

Wouldn't it be wiser to get an Ivanko Supergripper as opposed to the COC grippers as long as your goal isn't to become a certified captain of crush?

Captian Crushers are for wussies. No one knows the best Grippers available. The coolest places on teh internet knows about teh captian crushers!

These are the best quality of ones.

Ok then, I'll ask a legit question

What is this in your sig: Brute Mass Training Organization (B.M.T.O) trainer

Did you pass a test, get inducted, make it by yourself, or what?

No, I have the Ivanko gripper aswell, I just don't get on with it so well though!

the COCs just fit into your hand nicely and they are portable - they also give you a goal to work towards, for example, I'm working towards #3 right now. I love them!

The forearm is CERTAINLY NOT PUSHED UP AGAINST MY SIDE. You can see that CLEARLY, can't you. Maybe the camera angle makes you think the upper arm is, but I can assure you it isn't.

Hybrid - I am not allowed to advertise, but it is a section of a different forum that me and 'irishbuilder' (who posts on BB.com aswell), use to train noobs.

And you can't set goals with the Ivanko Supergripper? You can set a lot more goals with it than the COC? Granted, it is larger, but it is easily portable, and although it is a bit slippery tape can cure that problem easily.

I see what you mean, but the CoCs, like you said earlier, are a well known mark of hand strength. I've yet to meet a bodybuilder/strongman, anything who doesn't know about the #3 and how hard it is.

I get your point though bro.

**heavylifter954** · 07-25-2005, 04:29 PM

i love how u said you just must do theese when me and a large number of people i know have not been doing those at all and have perfectally developed forearms....once again what you consider a must might only work for you, i could have sworn in your last post you were gonna write "imo" nafter you type something retarted like that

why do people always have to diss popeye? even if he is pushing his arm he is still f**king big for a 16 year old

**juanca** · 07-25-2005, 05:07 PM

good post popeye, just remember bro, IMO

Anyway, just a FYI, those "hammer curls across the chest" you refer to, are commonly known as PINWHEEL CURLS.

Bump to wrist roller guys! I've just recently began using a wrist roller and it's amazing how good it works those forearms, great burn feeling and noticable gains. Combined with other forearm workouts it's a winner!

**MrSinister** · 07-25-2005, 06:27 PM

forearms are majorly genetic, yes u can help them along with lifting... but in general most ppl with big forearms just have the good forearm genetics, nothing superior in their training.
