Forearm Exercises - How to Add at Least 1 Inch to Your Forearms by Doing Grip Training

Forearm exercises are something that most beginning bodybuilders focus on because they like the idea of having huge forearms, but most don't know how to do it right.

But the thing is that anytime you are performing upper body work outs that include your hands you're already doing the forearms, doing curls also does them and even the bench press also has them taking part in the workout, to put it briefly you're already exercising your forearms while not being aware of it.

But if you want to actually get size it's possible to do just one of two things:

you can actually do wrist workouts, which unfortunately are risky because you've got a likelihood of damaging your lower arms and this is going to cost you several months, last thing you need is have a doctor tell you to keep out of the gym for several months, which unfortunately means that you cannot work out AT ALL.

Or alternatively you could do grip training, this will do two things, you'll increase grip strength which will help you curl and bench press heavier plus your forearms will grow bigger(how much is dependent on how you eat) and there is less of a chance to get hurt.

Your Grip

Hand grippers are a great tool especially the ones with metal handles, they are offered in many brand names but the most beneficial I found so far is heavy grips(google it).

The typical inexpensive Grippers with plastic handles are only helpful if your palms are very weak.

Finger Pullups

There's an substitute which perhaps you may find useful, you could use your own body weight, hang on a bar or something, as though you are going to perform pullups, open your palms and only hang on by using your four fingers without your thumb taking part. This is somewhat hard if your palms are not very strong.

After that, close the palms as hard as you can and afterwards re open them, this is like a mini pullup with the palms, do at least 6 reps and 3 sets.

In case you do not like it you'll be able to always get the grippers, I came up with that exercise as an experiment.

Do the opposite muscle

Additionally you need to exercise your forearm extensors, this muscle is ignored by the majority of people because its not as cool as the biceps or shoulders, its like expecting your arms to grow by disregarding the triceps, you wont get anywhere this way.

Likewise you want to focus on the opposite forearm muscles, or else you might harm your forearms if you don't do this.

Sadly there is no special device for this muscle, as an alternative you have to take a small rubber band, wrap it around your fingertips and thumb, and exercise by opening your fingers against the resistance of the rubber band(kudos to Lee H.).

If one rubber band is too easy try adding a few more.

If you want more info on forearm exercises I recommend a good article in this Weight Lifting Articles post.
