Ways to get Larger Forearms

By Maurine Higby


A challenge that numerous individuals face is growing their forearm proportions to equal their biceps and triceps. You probably have noticed how tough it is to get those forearms bigger the way you would like, and especially when it comes to have them of equal size. Additionally, there is the issue of one arm being bigger than the other as a result of dominance of either your left or right arm.

Forearm Building Exercises

The initial exercise is behind the back barbell curls. You need to use either a barbell rack, or fixed weight barbells for this exercise. For example purposes you will be at the barbell rack. Its is best not to use the Smith machine with this, except if you do not have any choice. Set your body so the bar is positioned below your waistline, so you have to bend over at the knees to grab the weight. Get your correct weight, and then grab the barbell, similar to how you would for back shrugs. With your arms pressed against your body for stability, move the bar upwards making sure you primarily use your forearms. Slowly lower the bar and then repeat. You'll want to be aiming for 3 sets of 10-15 reps for this exercise.

Another exercise is the rotating hand movement. You will be doing about 25 reps of this one, so get some light weights to begin with. While standing up simply bring your arms up midway to where they are parallel to the floor at a 90 degree break in the elbow. From here, rotate your wrists inwards and outwards whilst holding the dumbbells. While carrying this out begin to slowly raise your arms upwards and then downwards in a constant slow movement. By doing this, you are hitting all the muscles in your forearms and getting a real burn!

The final exercise is a reverse curl with dumbbells. You will need medium weighted dumbbells, and then basically perform a bicep curl with your hands facing the opposite way. These curls additionally hit the lesser recognised muscles in the upper arm, which is an additional benefit.

Super Set with Biceps Exercise routines!

Supersets are basically doing one exercise after another without rest. As an example, to get a burn that will leave your arms feel the blood flowing and muscles growing perform biceps curls and then a forearm activity. Perform the bicep curls with medium-heavy weights, as you normally would. This means no using the back or legs to help you lift the weight. Immediately afterwards perform a set of side dumbbell wrist curls. This will guarantee an awesome work out routine that will leave you with a good feeling the next day.

Be Sure To Stretch!

Your arms are essential for nearly every exercise you perform, and hurting either could cost you substantially. There are many muscle heads and tendons located on your arms that need stretching, and your biceps and forearms are the easiest to injure without stretching. Also make sure that you keep your wrists mobile by rotating and stretching out the joint. Keep your posture and form correct, and make sure you use the same weight on both arms to prevent unbalanced development. The majority of arms which turn out to be one larger than the other are due to poor technique in exercises for the non-dominant hand.
