Here are 3 exercises to add to your training routine, if bigger forearms is what you’re looking for. I know that’s a goal of mine, so I’m definitely gonna do more of these exercises soon!
1) Reverse curls: You probably already knew this one, but they’re mainstream for a reason! Performing curls with a reverse grip is arguably the best exercise for the brachioradialis, which contributes to growing a THICC (and aeathetic!) forearm.
Pro tip: add a resistamce band to overload the top of the movement as the muscles are at a better leverage there.
2) Cable/Rope forearm pronation/supination: set the rope on a high cable with your elbow bent, palm facing your yourself: from here, ‘pronate’ your wrists by turning the forearm over, and pushing with your fingers to the rope.
To overload supination, do the same thing but to the other side!
Pro tip: to remember which one is which, associate the word ‘supination’ with soup. Now how do you hold a plate of soup ? That’s supination for you!
3) Radial & Ulnar deviation pulls: set yourself to the side of a cable machine, and grab the lower cable. From here, starting with a neutral grip, simply deviate the cable to the side (ulnar if to the side of the pinky, radial if to the side of the thumb).
