Forearm workouts

Postby surlesc » Thu Jul 16, 2009 11:31 pm

I have been lifting weights that build my tricep and bicep, but I was wondering do these workouts work your forearms? Are there any good forearm workouts that make them bigger? Please let me know.

Any Bicep exercise like E-Z Bar Curls, E-Z Bar Reverse Curls, Hammers, Zottmans etc etc, should nail Forearms anyway.

Going for Forearm isolation is pointless and possibly a risk to the Wrists and surrounding Bones and tissues, as the exercises you can do, I.E. Wrist and Reverse Wrist Curls, require Dorsi-flexion, (up and down motion), of the Wrists with a weight attatched, which long-term is potentially no good.
