Should I just lift weights half way or is it another technique ?

hmmm, for the exception of Wlad I never really notice riped fighters with big forearms.

I guess a good way is to put something heavy in your hand amd bend the wrist back and forth.

Lift weights half way???



..

Isn't it just genetics as to whether you have large forearms or not? I have a large frame but my wrists are very slim and my forearms are nothing special.

Well yeah, but like everything else, of course you can train your forearms bigger.

I don't see where lifting weights half way comes in, though... :rolleyes:

Exercises for forearm and grip strength:

1.) Reverse-grip curl. Hold a dumbbell in your hand with your palm facing the floor. Do a regular bicep curl, but keep your palm facing the floor. "Preacher curls" this way will really kill your hands and forearms.

2.) Zottman curls. Do a bicep curl, with your palm facing UP on the contraction (coming up), and facing DOWN on the eccentric (going down.)

3.) Drill a hole in the middle of a 12" piece of 1" wooden dowel. Run a 3' piece of line through the hole. Attach a weight (anything; I use a 5-lb. plate) to the line at one end, and knot it off at the other. Raise and lower the weight by twisting the dowel.

Beat your meat 4 times a day with each hand that works...LOOALLALALLAOOAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHH

Deadlifts with a thick bar. Also, go to this site http://www.ironmind.com/ironcms/opencms/ironmind/ and look near the bottom of the page for John Brookfield's grip tips.

wrists dont really get bigger but forearms do. i have forearms like popeye. they are freakish.

hmm some pro bodybuilders dont even do specific forearm exercises.. i think they sorta come with all the other exercises.. however reverse grip curls are pretty good

I always thought these worked nicely

that they do. i use 'em regularly, they're great for forearm 'brittleness'.

I love em, a great workout and really helps your wrists from bending or just giving your forearms and wrists more stability. Not to mention give alot more speeed in the speed bag, in my opinion.

pullups are good for forearms

For bigger forearms you should try to lift weights from their knee with a barbell, then reversed with light dumbells, and your forearms will be bulging before you know it.

i guess but thats not what they are for if you want forearm strength/size then do wrist curls/reverse wrist curls/reverse barbell curls/regular barbell curls/ or anything with a a bar like deadlifts. try the grip machine too. your wrists wont get any bigger just ur forearms
