I want pic related and I fell for the "Deadlifts is enough" meme for too long.
How do I get forearms that make dress shirt sleeves rip?
Are reverse barbell curls a meme?
Are grippers a good investment?
What exercises surprisingly engage forearms more than expected?
Forearms general.
>grippers
Work with a trowel daily
Look up how arm wrestlers train.
Deadlifts are enough once you lift over 400.
bucket of sand /rice
damn I only deadlift 135 no wonder I thought deadlifts are enough was a meme
Sit down on a bench/chair and put a dumbbell on the floor between your legs. Grab the top of the dumbbell like a package with your fingers on the bottom and palms hovering an inch above. Grip hard so the top of dumbbell touches your palm and repeat. For maximum forearm/trap gains, keep your shoulders rolled forward and place your arms against the insides of your legs - keeping your forearms pressed into your legs stabilizes your arms and allows you to grip harder.
Yeah me too no wonder I'm not big and shredded. I should stop giving advice to people like me who want to get big.
>the absolute state of Jow Forums
goodbye I hate this board
Try doing diddlies in both low and high rep ranges. Learn PROPER breathing and bracing. Godspeed user
i have terrible forearms.
people say deadlifts but I used to deadlift 200kg for 5 reps and still had shit forearms.
I noticed people with high weight isolation and upper body strength have big forearms.
Never seen anyone bench 3 plate with shit wrists and forearms like me.
Towel chin-ups. Works for grip and forearm strength

Are you implying that the rest of your body looks good? Post it, and your 1rm too
First, you need to stop posting on reddit. I can tell you're a redditor just by the way you post. Second, lift heavier and don't drop the weight at the top of your deadlift. Lower it slowly. You shouldn't make a sound during deadlifts. Third, stop posting shit from lookism like dick size, how do I get a gf, relationship advice, bald/fat/lanklet/manlet threads; they're a waste of time better spent getting bigger. Fourth, drop all your """""fitness""""" youtube celebrities; they're wastes of time. That's time you could be spending in the gym working on yourself. Don't believe any of the supplement memes (ANY of them) because they're no shortcut to success. Fifth, put more hard work into yourself. Congrats! you now have more time to become bigger. Just spend that time getting bigger (and not wasting it) and you'll get bigger.
>Are you implying that the rest of your body looks good?
Not him, but maybe l2English, Pajeet.
Redditor go back. You dropped the weight and bounced it back off the ground, didn't you? You're right, though. Heavy bench WITH PROPER GRIP will make your forearms bigger. So will OHP.
>I am black and never learned how to read
the post
son im going to teach you a lesson for life. you can't put a price on experience. now get in the gym and try those damn reverse barbell curls. you'll know it when you feel it. now do you feel it?
christ almighty what in the fuck is going on in this board. lift guys. speculating on Jow Forums is no substitute.
That's a perfect sentence, faggot.
>imblynggg fourarmms :D:D:D
"Are you suggesting the rest of your body actually looks good? And you're worried about your arms? Haaaa"
>third "deadlifts are a meme" meme thread posted this morning
>not even 6 am
what do you get out of making potentially strong men weak? how big is your nose OP?
I'm British you retard, what are you on about
>OP says his "forearms are small despite deadlifting"
>The implication is that either that he deadlifts a lot (so it's weird to have small forearms) or the rest of his body looks good (so it's weird to have small forearms)
>I request body and 1rm for comparison
See you tomorrow
OP is one of those retards who "lifts for size" hence the 135 1rm
>135
PLEASE be kg
Not that 135 kg deadlift is a lot, but 135 lb is less than what I did on my first day, and I looked like a stomach with noodle limbs
HOW DO YOU RETARDS HAVE TO ASK IF EVERYTHING IS A FUCKING MEME, NO NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE A GODDAMNED MEME YOU FUCKING IMBECILE BRAINDEAD SUBHUMAN NIGGER "IS DIS A MEEM????" YOU'RE THE FUCKING MEME GROW UP AND FUCKING GET A LIFE WHAT THE FUCK YOU PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT MEME MEANS, IF BY MEME YOU MEAN SOMETHING TRENDY THAT RECEIVES MORE ATTENTION THAN YOU THINK IT SHOULD THEN YEAH, IT IS A FUCKING MEME, SUBJECTIVELY EVERYTHING WOULD BE A GOD DARNED MEME BY THAT LOGIC YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF SHIT YOU KNOW WHAT, DON'T EVEN BOTHER ON POSTING HERE AGAIN YOU RIDICULOUS, UNDERDEVELOPED PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A PERSON.
considering 5:30 am dumb posting, it's probably an American, so lbs.
FFS you should be able to DL this on your first day
you should be able to DL this on your first day assuming you're not 3' tall and 50 lbs yourself*
OP is the gym resident gains goblin
AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
FUCKING HELL YOU WANKER
KYS
AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
nope I deloaded onto the floor everytime
to be fair i was on the roids
which proves my point deadlifts dont do forearms bench do.
my bench was hella weak too
No wonder why you haven't grown your arms you cant have progress after your first day
bruh you should have mentioned that sooner maybe. kinda renders your experience incomparable to naturals and therefore any conclusions you draw to naturals invalid. a naturals path to a 200kg deadlift is not the same as someone who's enhanced.
definitely not i agree
but the muscle growth is quicker and everything else went up fast and hard.
Arms hardly grew but i didnt do a lot of hypertrophy work i mainly aimed for mnassive compounds
Start doing bicep curls with an EZ curl bar, and then mix in some reverse curls too. Low weight, perfect form, slow, strict, controlled, and high reps. Forearms will blow up.
new pasta. nice
word
curious why were you on gear but didn't care about hypertrophy? sports/power lifting? did you notice a big jump in strength, what were you on? just curious to learn more about it if you'd indulge
Wrist curls and/or wrist roller PLUS hammer curls.
Everyone recommending compound lifts is wrong.
>How dare you be new to lifting on my favorite board?
>You should only start deadlift ing 405
towel pullups is the best forearm / grip builder
get a thick towel and throw it over a pullup bar. Grap the towel and do pullups
What do you do just reach a hand in and squeeze? Trying to understand this since I see it suggested a lot. Feels like a really weird way to build strength but I'd try it, just don't know how
towel curls pretty good too
throw a towel through a weight grasp both ends and curl
Salty coins and milk
Towel hangs are best
Wrap a towel around your neck, and lift yourself til death
Is it though? Every other muscle we train we do it by making it go through it’s range of motion.
Why would it be different with forearms all of sudden?
yeah honestly implementing a towel made my forearms pop up and made my grip insane, recommend adding a towel to everyone
if u need someone to talk to man... im here for u
It's just a regular pullup with a towel. Makes your finger/forearm muscle go on fire even after the first couple of reps. try em
Everyone posting is retarded and has no clue how to work forearms.
The only correct post is here: Target the muscles in your forearms. Use high reps for hypertrophy.
bro are you retarded lmao. have you ever stepped outside and seen tradesmen, wrestlers, etc. with huge fucking forearms? do you think they're doing reverse barbell curls? this isn't such an exact science. i'm sure there are terms to explain the work benefit from towel pullup/curl activity and the like but i'm not particularly familiar with the science. what i am familiar with is the actual experience and it works.
>t. cannot do 1 towel pullup
I guarantee you cannot fo more than 1 towel pullup. Enjoy your forearms made from wrist curls lol
i do wrist curls as well but this is a cumulative process and these are positive factors as well. not everything is so cut and dry, learn to stop trying to purport it as such and instead actually understand it.
Lift with these
Go to the gym and do whatever compound lifts you think are great at hitting forearms.
Then at the end of your workout do some wrist curls and see how your forearms aren't fatigued and can still do a ton of work.
Secondary gains are not good compared to targeted gains.
This board is so full of shit advice. It's like you're all just meming and haven't been to a gym.
Isolation. Low weight. High reps. These are the keys to making any particular muscle "explode" in size.
>Isolation
This is an 18+ website, brainlet. Fuck off back to ribbit with your DYEL bullshit.
you're taking the anti-compound, isolation bro meme way too heavy lmao. i probably have more experience than you and i'm sure i have drawn better conclusions from it than you. i do agree this board is full of a lot of dyel shit and you are some of it. gl
I never said not to do compound lifts. You're just retarded if you think they are the best way to target a specific muscle.
Do your compound lifts first. Then do isolation to target the muscles you feel are lagging.
OP wants his forearms to grow? The solution is to target forearms. It's not rocket science.
post body u absolute table
you guys are such pussies, if OP wants to have large forearms
he should absolutely do forearm isolation exercises
any other suggestions show a lack of reading comprehension
OP try farmers walk and dead hangs, im an enormous fan of throwing in 3x5 dead hangs until failure every other day
how do you rep out dead hangs
>until failure
I go until my grip fails me, rest, repeat.
nice, that seems very easy to do at the end of a workout, do you add weight? and do you notice any increase in grip strength, im aiming to increase that
i dont add weight, it is difficult enough without weight for me, cant last much longer than 45 seconds usually
i absolutely have noticed an increase in grip strength, and forearm vascularity
bruh are you backpeddling? i said both were good to start... you said the suggestion for towel pullups and curls additionally was the bad advice and the suggestion for wrist curls strictly was the good.
Weighted pull-ups.
yep its a pasta now

thanks boss, wishing u the best gains
>7 months progress
Still dyel? Pic related
Not sure how you missed this, but the issue isn't that user deadlifts 135. The issue is that user thought deadlifting 135 gave him the knowledge and authority to pontificate about "what works and what doesn't" on a fitness forum. This is the guy giving advice to other users. That's the problem.
hahahahaha pigs
Please tell me you mean 135kg
Those pigs look really sad
>roid
>"I aimed for massive compounds"
>shit bench
How is it possible to fuck up this bad?
This depends on genetics. I double overhand 455, and mixed grip 585. My forearms are much nicer after doing dedicated forearm work for them.
Deadlifts only train the forearms isometrically. You need concentric and eccentric work if you want real gains.
>fuck
>fucking
>fuck
>nigger
>fuck
>DARNED
That took a weird turn.
Snatches and cleans and heavy deadlifts and/or snatch/clean pulls. That's all I've ever done for my forearms and they've gotten a lot bigger.
I bet you think squats are good enough for abs too but only squat the bar you fucking teenage girl.
This. OP is a faggot, like always.
Masturbation
Tfw your warm up isnt even 135
Stop pressing it against your body and then maybe we can judge
How do I get forearms like this?
buy a wrist roller and do sets until failure, three times. make sure you alternate the way you're rolling your wrists. deadlifts are a meme. farmer's walk also probably works.
>135 DL
Dude I start my first warmup set×10 for cleans at 135, wtf is wrong with you
I had 13" forearms despite deadlifting 6 plates for a double.
Now I don't deadlift and I have 14.5" forearms cold flexed by just doing curls and pullups.
Strength training is a stupid shit meme.
Forerams have a lot of functionality, you can train them by twisting your hand closed or by twisting it open, you can also train it by just opening and closing your hand, curling your hand to the sides or forwards and backwards, or by just holding heavy things with your grip(worse method for growing forearms though cause isometric is very ineficient).
There's nothing difficult in towel pullups, and it's still not enough work to properly train your forearms.
arm wrestlers literally do forearm curls and a bunch of other shit, are you retarded?
I used to bench around 140kg and my wrists and forearms were tiny. I didn't do deadlift back then and not much rowing either, mostly just squat and chin-ups and bench and back extensions and sometimes something like dips, OHP, curls, 1-arm DB rows etc.
Wrist size is genetic and not trainable. I'm a wristlet and when I benched 50kg my wrists were exactly the same as when I benched 140kg.
>arm wrestlers
are you fuckin retarded i said wrestlers not arm wrestlers lol. there is more way than one jesus are you actually this autistic...
>tries to double size by pressing against body
imagine being this insecure
I know what you said, but wrestlers don't have the biggest forearms, unlike arm wrestlers who are known for having so you fucking brainlet, and they train their forearms in a bunch of different ways from wrist curls to isometrics to reverse curls/hammer curls or heavy one arm pulldowns and a bunch of other shit, you don't even know what wrestlers train like or what they do in their spare time, but everyone knows arm wrestlers train their arms like this which is pretty much forearm bodybuilding basics.
I like this pasta.
jesus you're fucking retarded lol.
arguing points i never brought up... nice?
i brought up wrestlers and tradesmen as examples of those with big forearms who aren't training in the way you say is the only.
>"you don't even know what wrestlers train like"
>I am a wrestler
lmaooo
>"but everyone knows arm wrestlers train their arms like this (You) which is pretty much forearm bodybuilding basics"
again, i never talked about arm wrestlers... your extra chromosome is just showing even more here.
i like wrist curls and i like towel curls. didn't claim either was most optimal but that they're practical additions to routine. you're just not getting it.
>Isolation. Low weight. High reps. These are the keys to making any particular muscle "explode" in size.
Isn't it strange how the "knowledge" of anonymous DYEL's on the internet is always the exact opposite to convential knowledge of literally every successful lifter, bodybuilder, strongman, oly lifter etc?
