People underestimate developing forearms and I hardly ever see them being trained in the gym. It's not just about how your biceps are, having developed forearms are just as important and boast several benefits, from a stronger grip to sex appeal, plus they just look downright intimidating.
So I ask, do you want to develop your forearms but not sure how to approach them? If yes then I’ve put together this rather simple training routine that you can follow next time you’re at the gym. These following three exercises are the best at working your forearms.
Close-grip front pull-ups (bodyweight)
Start with close-grip front pull ups. Reason being that these will be the hardest since you’re pulling up your own bodyweight. As this is a bodyweight exercise, how many reps you do depends on your current strength but aim for five reps to start.
Three sets at five reps each
Forearm curls (barbell)
Once you’re finished with the close-grip pull-ups move onto forearm curls. Use a light to moderate weight here because we really want to pump the forearms now seeing that the close-grip pull-ups were low in reps.
Three sets at twenty reps
Hammer curls (dumbbells)
We’re at the finish now. Now we’re aiming for moderate to heavy weight for hammer curls to finish off and destroy the forearms. Look to do ten reps but they need to be tough, not a easy ten
Three sets at ten reps
That’s it, forearm workout completed. You’re forearms should be pump and feel like stuffed sausages. Of course this isn’t a once off routine. To develop massive forearms you need to keep training them. Just remember to incorporate forearms whenever it is arm day at the gym.
