Bicep curls with reverse grips...but caution..big forearms make your guns look smaller!

Yes but big forearms look alot more fuckin intimidating then big guns.
+1. Besides using heavier weights and doing a few sets of direct work I like to use heavy grippers also.
super heavy pinwheel curls, go so heavy you need straps.QUOTE]
I've done these before. They will also build up your traps

Fuck any type of sissy curls, my friend. Go heavy on deads and rows and your forearms will be plenty big. Trust me on that...

I never had a good grip or mind-muscle connection with my forearms until I got into the coc or HG grippers. Within few weeks of getting serious with a pair of those I stopped using my straps on all but the toughest sets. Not sure if it will build the forearms much in terms of size but gets them strong for other things.
Capitains of Crush and other heavy gripers are the shit for working out forearms, I still don't know about the size because I only have used them for just a month consistently, but most my lifts and grip strength has increased a lot.
you've obv. never done some heavy ass pinwheels then, because if you had u'd think other wise

i thought this was about getting big forearms? you have big forearms from doing these?
Same here. I look a little better now but my forearms used to be embarrasing.
Wrist curls, and also behind-the-back wrist curls (I haven't used it yet).
Heavy biceps curls have helped my forearms.
On machine, if you go high enough on weight, you will not be able to flex biceps fully, but lifting to 1/2 the way really stresses your forearm flexors.

Yeah, I guess I was too busy doing some exercises that actually carried some benefit. Not the ones that just made my biceps sore...
it's not a bicep exercise bro, please know what you are talking about before giving people advise to or not to do something.
pinwheel curls are a forearm exercise, i know people mistake it for bicep b/c the word curl is in there, but it is def for forearms.

i wasnt questioning what the exercise was for. just whether it put on any significant size on your forearms.
yes, it is a mass building exercise for your forearms. if you try them sometime and don't feel like your forearms are going to explode, then you didn't do near enough weight.
I agree with this. These will put some size on your forearms. Some people should stick to heavy compounds before worrying about forearm size though. Like the kid with no back mass having a bicep only day.

Forgive me if I lost my dictionary that helps me decipher the names for all of the bodybuilding exercises. Forearm, bicep...whatever small muscle group that it is supposed to isolate doesn't change the point. Compound exercises are all that is needed. Genetics have never been on my side and my forearms are plenty big and it is from nothing more than deads, rows, and chins. Just get stronger and the muscle will come...
+1! Judging by your avatar you have long arms, nevertheless your forearms look very well, so I guess the pinwheel worked for you and would work for anybody else.

+1 in fact, you can cut and paste this response to every "how do I" question asked. Although, I like to add: "Lift heavy weight, overhead, and repeat".
Yep in fact progressive overload is the cure for most of these problems...
