Forearm Workouts - Best Exercise For Mass

Put these exercises to work and get thicker, fuller forearms—fast.

Forearms are one of the most underrated muscle groups, and most people overlook training them. If youre someone who prefers wearing t-shirts, your forearms are more exposed than your biceps.

Muscle symmetry can add to your body aesthetics and can make your arms look bigger than they are. Training your forearms as accessory muscles isn't enough to add muscle mass. You need to treat them as you would treat any other muscle group.

Dumbbell exercises for forearms target the inner and outer forearm muscles.

While there are tons of different workout styles, training splits, and rep schemes, a simple truth rules strength training: If you can't grip it, you can't lift it.

Grip strength is more important than you might expect. You might be able to get away with a subpar handshake in some settings, but if your grip is weak, you could face more serious health issues down the line.

In the more immediate sense, you won't be able to do much in the weight room if you have trouble keeping hold of whatever you're trying to heft. Unless you want to depend on lifting straps to get through each workout, your ability to grasp heavier weight for extended periods of time can be the difference between a good and a great physique.

Forearm muscles are smaller in size and they need time and intensity to grow so we need to train them separately and properly.

It's important to emphasize that performing deadlifts do stimulate forearms muscles however, due to the range of motion, it doesn't involve all the three forearm muscle groups, therefore, they still need to be trained with specialized exercises.

When it comes to getting strong, grip strength is rarely thought about but it actually plays a large role in your overall progress.

If your grip strength is lacking, you'll not only have a lot of trouble with your back workouts (deadlifts, especially) and arm workouts, you'll probably struggle with less-than-impressive looking forearms.

The bottom line is the better your grip strength, the better you'll do in your weightlifting and the better your arms will look.
