FOREARM TRAINING......GAIN VASCULARITY AND STRENGTH

[obezana]

Hello Robbie. Im planning on incorporating these into my workouts and was wondering what sort of set/rep structure youd recommend? 4-5 sets till failure?

train forearms every day , how will they ever recover ,muscles need rest

@solarstone11

Great point.....how much rest do you give your ABS?  Ill answer the question...Abs, Calves and Forearms are dense heavily utized muscles that do not require rest to grow....most of the time they are weak links that need repetitive resistance to exceed in the training environments.....do your abs need rest to grow??

Good stuff, no nonsense, well thought out and good understanding of biomechanics.

When training your forearms, do I have to change the workouts to create muscle confusion? Or can I do the same forearm workout everyday? If I must change the workouts I am at a loss. To work the top part of my forearm, i only know the reverse barbell forearm curl. I feel that there is a lack of variety for forearm workouts. Please let me know...your looking beastly

@niga980

no muscle confusion needed for forearms but what I would consider doing is vary volume/intensity which is weight and sets/reps as the muscle fiber is so dense it will demand higher workloads to grow and get stronger.

you forgot to mention heavy shrugs also work forearms :)

HEAVY SHRUGS WORK FOREARMS ISOMETRICALLY

@bronzerepublic LOUD NOISES!!!!!!

my forearms measure about 11 and a quarter inches. I'm 15. I'm gona start hitting them everyday and see if i cant get maybe 12 or 13 inches in a month! I'll let you know what happens in feburary

Every single day ?? WOW, I always thought we should train like another muscle group, and give them rest. Nice to know that. Great exercise.

@SickBastardInc

just like calves and abs...the forearms are a dense muscle group that requires high volume of reps to grow.

[bronzerepublic]

@SickBastardInc

NO REST FOR CALVES, ABS AND FOREARMS these are dense muscle groups that don't need recovery

[SickBastardInc]

@bronzerepublic Yeah man, I'm working on it, thanx a lot !!!

[SickBastardInc]

@bronzerepublic By the way: train every single day and long sets. I got that, but I got one last little doubt. The recovery between sets, what do you think is better ? 30s, 45s, 1 min ???

[GlovesupSwampy]

@bronzerepublic rubbish, you train forearms hard and heavy and your not training them every day, complete broscience

[Getmusclequick]

good tips my forarms and calves lag thanks

[ForcedAbTrainer]

Excellent answer. So many don't pay attention to forearms. I like the forearm exercise. I look forward to you explaining how to affect the other muscles in the forearms.

[bronzerepublic]

STAY FOCUSED AND TRAIN FOR SUCCESS
