Second I stand upright w/ my arm almost in a side biceps pose w/ my forearm again parellel to the floor ( with this exercise I use a put together dumbell with weight on one end held with a clamp and nothing on the other end acting as a handle, with palms up I simply rotate back and forth ). Third exercise with the same DB I stand straight with my arm hanging freely to the side and lift the dumbell with my hand only, leaving arm stiff down, in the direction of the floor to the ceiling with the weight in front and immediately switch so the weight is in back. Hammers are nice aswell and so are grippers but IMO they are limiting to only specific parts of the forearm instead of total isolation but great if thats all you are going to do for forearms ______________________ The little men who live behind my eyes and scream directly at my brain told me to tell you hello.

Just squeeze your hand shut and you can identify the muscles of your forearm that will be worked. If you've ever gotten a good look at a powerlifter's chest it might not be the greatest to look at but still big, I think the same concept could applie to this and most muscle groups.. Big is Big whether through strength training or bodybuilding. ______________________ The little men who live behind my eyes and scream directly at my brain told me to tell you hello.
