Probably the only time your forearms are not visible is when you are wearing a long sleeved shirt. These muscles are the ones that are seen the most and trained the least. Well, I am going to brief you some common yet effective forearm workout exercises. The ideal time to begin building your forearms is once you have finished working on your biceps.
Talking about forearm workout; hammer curls are the best way to begin with. This is the exercise where you will go all heavy and hard. Six reps on each arm is what you will aim for. This is the exercise that will give you another extra benefit; adding the third dimension to the biceps.
Another workout that might feel a little weird at the start is behind the back wrist curls; however, you have to give this workout a try since this is also one of the most effective forearm workout exercises that cannot be ignored. Stand and carry a barbell behind the back; your palms should to be facing away from your body. Higher reps are what you will aim for over here; go for 25 to up to a 100. This is a good exercise and you will feel the pump. Make sure you do not stop and make use of partials at times when you cannot go any further.
Reverse curls will also be a part of your forearm workout program. They are not really different from those regular barbell curls; the difference is that your palms will be facing down in this one. To make this exercise a lot more effective you need to make use of a preacher bench. Same as you did with wrist curls; you will again aim and go for higher reps here as well. In no time it will feel as if your forearms are heavier than ever and they have done all the workouts in this world in this single exercise. This is the exercise where you need to be in control of your mind muscle; feel the muscles in your forearms contracting. This is one of those exercises that are a must in any workout program.
This is a routine that you will follow for around a month to notice the difference in the forearms. They will get bigger and stronger. Your grip will get stronger and better therefore you will perform other workouts more effectively as well.
