    Forearms

    Do you train forearms directly or just leave them?

    Just leave them, until recently they are lacking IMO. So I might start working them.

    I do a lot of deadlifting, shrugs, and barbell front raises, so I workout my forearms adequately enough with those compound exercises.

    you'll notice theyre pretty pumped up at the end of an arm/shoulder/back workout (mine are anyway) so yeah they get done while training other body parts, but I've noticed mine have gotten a fair bit more muscular since i started incorporating wrist curls and hammer curls into my arm workout. Basically they're a muscle group like any other so its always good to do atleast one exercise that target them specifically.
    Plus, having stronger forearms/wrists will help eliminate any problems you may encounter with them while doing heavier exercises (deadlifts, shrugs, etc)

    If you want big forearms, work them.

    If you pull over 600lbs, you'll have good forearms. Nuf said.

    Only recently started training them, definitely going to stick to it though.
    Feel that my forearms are lagging a bit and also just want big forearms so why not? :P
    My chitty lifts:

    Bench Press: 210lbs
    Deadlift: 248lbs
    Squat: 210lbs
