Forearms are only for grip. There are three parts to your shoulder, your anterior delts, medial delts, and posterior delts. Your anterior delts are for pushing movements, and your posterior delts are for pulling movements. Don't do a push/pull/leg routine, you need far more frequency than training a muscle only once a week.
Edit: You never heard of your rear delts?

the same muscles can be activated in both push and pull exercises...yes biceps are generally "pull" but that doesn't mean they aren't used a little in a bench press etc. Don't say oh this muscle is just push/pull...just develop a routine with a good variety of ways to push and pull
