Try this.. Get a dumbell bar, tie some string to the middle of it (long enough to goto the floor), and put a weight on the end. Then hold out your arms straight, and wind it up and down slowly (dont let it fall down).

Thats what I do at my gym, I can only do it to one rep with a small weight on the end, it hurts loads :twisted:

I dont know if its any good for bulking :?:

I also just rememberd somthing, a Powerball.

I own one of these gadgets, got bored of it though. Very good for your fore arm, grip and it can be fun.

What tom is describing is wrist twists and they are a killer, makes the forearms burn and knot up like a mutha fuker.

You can also do reverse curls, these build the forearms and the underlying muscle beneath the biceps giving a good peak

You've probably heard of good old wrist curls too.

Bump on reverse curls, i just started these a few weeks back.

You should use a fairly light weight with good form - very effective

I usually do hammer curls, seated wrist curls and behind the back wrist curls. I also find that heavy back workouts (e.g. deadlifts, t-bar rows) help alot too indirectly.

How about those gripers you can get??

anything that works your grip, the spring grippers you squeeze or a rackett ball will work too. your grip is dictated by the muscles in your forearm, ever notice that even people that arent big everywhere and have grip have monkey forearms? my grandfather looks like a feeble 76 y.o. man but has been a gun enthusiast for years (has his own shooting range) and since he wanted to shoot better he started working his grip to steady his hand, the result was bigger forearms. that man has a grip that will floor the biggest lifter! just my 2 cents.
