Developing Massive Arms

By Delilah Ying


A challenge that a lot of individuals face is increasing their forearm size to equal their biceps and triceps. You probably have noticed just how tough it is to get those forearms larger the way you wish, and particularly when it comes to have them of equal size. There is also the issue of one arm being larger than the other as a result of dominance of either your left or right arm.

Forearm Building Workouts

Doing barbell curls behind the back is your first exercise. The best way to do this is at a barbell rack, or with the set weight barbells. For example purposes you will be at the barbell rack. Try not to use the smith machine for this exercise except if you are short on time and need to make use of the only machine accessible. Set your body so that the bar is placed under your waistline, so you have to bend over at the knees to pick up the weight. Get your correct weight, and then grab the barbell, similar to how you would for back shrugs. Press your arms up against your own body and curl upwards as much as you are able to making sure you use only your forearms. Roll the bar back down and repeat. This is best completed x3 sets of x10-x15 repetitions.

Another exercise is the rotating hand exercise. Grab a couple of low weight dumbbells that you can do x25 repetitions of. Begin with your arms bent at 90 degree and your forearms parallel to the ground. Begin to rotate your wrists to where the dumbbells rotate inwards and outwards. While carrying this out start to slowly lift your arms upwards and then downwards in a steady slow movement. By doing this, you are hitting all the muscles in your forearms and getting a real burn!

Another good forearm curl is done with dumbbells at the side while sitting or standing. Grab moderate dumbbells and simply curl your wrists as the weights are to your sides. These curls additionally hit the lesser recognised muscles in the upper arm, which is an added bonus.

Use Supersets for further Gain

Supersets are basically doing one exercise after another without rest. With this example you may perform standard bicep curls, followed immediately by one of the forearm exercises in the list above. 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 give you a super burn and will make sure you are tender the following day!

Ensure You Stretch!

Your arms are clearly very useful to you and you wouldn't like to hurt them. Stretching your arms after your session will help all the small muscles and tendons heal from the intense workout. Also be sure that you keep your wrists mobile by simply rotating and stretching the joint. Keep your posture and form correct, and make sure you use the same weight on both arms to prevent unbalanced development. Virtually all arms that wind up being one larger than the other are caused by poor technique in exercises for the non-dominant hand.
