Developing Huge Arms

By Myong Madill


A challenge that numerous people encounter is growing their forearm proportions to equal their biceps and triceps. You probably have discovered how tough it is to get those forearms bigger the way you want, and in particular when it comes to have them of equal size. There is possibly the issue of one arm being bigger than the other due to dominance of either your left or right arm.

Exercises for Building your Forearms

Doing barbell curls behind the back is your first exercise. You should use either a barbell rack, or fixed weight barbells for this exercise. For example purposes you will be at the barbell rack. Try not to use the smith machine for this exercise unless you are short on time and need to make use of the only equipment accessible. Place the bar beneath your waist level to the place where you need to somewhat bend at the knees to grab the weight. Add the weight you want (preferably just the bar until after a practice set) and then bend down and grab the bar as if you were going to do behind the back shrugs. Press your arms against your body and curl upwards as far as you can ensuring that you use only your forearms. Slowly lower the bar and then repeat. This is best performed x3 sets of x10-x15 repetitions.

Next you can try out the rotating hand actions. You will be doing about 25 reps of this one, so get some light weights to begin with. Start with your arms bent at 90 degree and your forearms parallel to the floor. From here, rotate your wrists inwards and outwards whilst holding the dumbbells. While rotating, slowly contract your biceps up and down, as if doing a bicep curl. This is making all the muscles in you forearms get a burn.

Another great forearm curl is done with dumbbells at the side when standing or sitting. Grab moderate dumbbells and simply curl your wrists as the weights are to your sides. Reverse curls also help build the forearms greatly whilst impacting the brachialis, which is the muscle group which is situated beneath your biceps.

Make use of Supersets for further Benefit

A super set is where you perform another exercise immediately after a different exercise. For instance, to get a burn that will make your arms feeling the blood pumping and muscles developing perform biceps curls combined with a forearm activity. Grab a barbell and place an almost heavy weight amount and perform the curls correctly. 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 certain you are sore the following day!

Stretch out your Arms!

Your arms are important for nearly every exercise you complete, and injuring one or both could cost you considerably. Stretching your arms after your session will help all the small muscles and tendons heal from the intense workout. Also ensure that you keep your wrists mobile by simply rotating and stretching the joint. If you notice that either of your arms are starting to get bigger then use more weight on the under developed arm, and make sure you are watching your posture and technique. Poor technique can readily lead to under development, or even injury on your non-dominant arm.
