Why is it so hard to forearms?

Seconded. I just want big forearms.

Overhand bicep curls.
Never use wrist straps.
Get one of these but make sure you buy a quality one with 150lb or higher resistance and not the cheapo kind.

the further from the core you go, the more volume you need

Hammercurls. Loosen grip as you go down; squeeze as you go up.
It's like jacking off two bros at the same time no homo

>Loosen grip as you go down; squeeze as you go up.
"no"

But doesn't the core respond well too frequency?

rugby players are not cool in north america tho.
they are like fat guys that wear flat caps

>The guy in OP's pic is wearing shoulder pads under his skin.
>In rugby, no one wears shoes. Also, there is no ball.
How did you become his retarded?

I agree. Best forearm growth I ever had was water skiing twice a day. I figure a typical run was up to two minutes so I prescribe farmers walks for two minutes twice a day with heavy weights. Eat more too.

forearms are the calves of your upper body. the volume needed to develop these muscles is more of a lifestyle than a gym routine

stop poking holes in my logic

This right here. My dad and I are masons and if your forearms become tree trunks. You can’t pussy around carrying 80lb buckets of mud for ten hours a day

Try weighted chin ups, pull ups, and dips. After I started doing those my forearms exploded

Forearms are the calves of your upper body, but it's not volume that's key, it's the fact that nearly everyone forgets each has two heads. Pushing your foot down contracts the inner head, pulling your toes upwards contracts the outer head which is nearly 2/3's of your calves. Same with forearms; bending your wrist down contracts the palm side, up contracts the topside of your forearm. It's like trying to build your arms without working your Triceps despite them being 2/3's of your arm.

Got a CoC trainer gripper, that too light or do I need to go heavier? I have noticed growth in my forearms since using it daily, pretty amazing despite trying to lose weight.

Got one of these in high school. That, on top of working construction and landscaping since I was 15, gave me huge forearms.
Real shit though, I would use this thing all day every day. While watching tv, during class, or masturbating. Just fucking switch hands every 50 reps and beat off with the other hand. This thing actually got me laid. I had bulging forearm muscles at 16.

Which CoC do you have? Look on the end of the grips it should tell you. Hope it's not the Sport. It requires 80lbs to close it and was developed for women.

CoC has multiple resistance ratings. I started with the Trainer. Requires 100lbs of pressure to close it all the way. My woman actually commented on my hands being stronger while I was rubbing her back earlier tonight. Felt nice. Next level up is the .5 which requires 120lbs of pressure to close it. Then the number 1 which requires 140lbs of pressure to close it. The number 4 requires 365 lbs of pressure to close it and I think only one person has managed to do it.

My plan has been to train until I can close the Trainer 20 times at a good pace then get the next one up and sell the Trainer. Do that as I progress. There has been some visible growth in my forearms and noticeable strength gains. Captains of Crush is good shit. I like the knurling on the grips too. But I like developing calloused hands.

requires non-gym work like actual working

Rockclimbing

I aim to restart this semester with regularity. Made great forearm gains in just 4 weeks, going only once a week

Could feel forearm Doms. Just imagine

>remember when that all-star rugby player tried to make it in the NFL and failed

rugby players tackle completely different then NFL players and are way smaller and slower athletes. Have JJ watt tackle a rugby player and see what happens

I worked in a mill and literally flipped 16' 2x6" (rough cut) all day long. My grip strength fucking exploded after a few months. Never had a problem gripping the bar since

What am I looking at here?

>>remember when that all-star rugby player tried to make it in the NFL and failed
Huh? Most rugby players who make the change stay in the NFL for more money. I guess there must be some that failed, but I also guess it's blown out of proportion by the fatty Murricns of Veeky Forums as usual.

is this a weapon?

>Have JJ watt tackle a rugby player and see what happens
A season ending injury for Watt?

theyre not cool in the uk either. Theyre just posh kids or irish/welsh

if forearms are the calves of your upper body, what are the traps of your lower body?

>Forearms and calves should be trained everyday if you want them to grow
I never understood the reason why people think some muscles does not need rest. I would think that doing the same amount of volume as you would if you trained each day, and train them every second day, would provide more gains.

>Ever wonder why manual laborers have such meaty forearms? Most of them dont, some do, but you will achieve bigger forearms by lifting, and they would too. Just look at proffesional cyclists, they have big thigs, but they will never get as big as someone who lift.

Because very few people train them at all, and those that do train them do so in an inefficient manner for hypertrophy.

ass

Because it's largely bone structure.
I play rugby but american football has way harder impacts, precisely because of the padding.

Rugby players command respect. Only a fucking degenerate labour-voting football fan would think they aren't "cool" enough.

yes, designed to surpass the metal gear

My forearms grew from bb rows and supinated dumbbell curls

You are right, rugby is far superior, but nfl is barely even a real sport.
Its no use trying to convince an nfl supporter because they are retarted

>rugby players are way smaller and slower

"no"

pic related is 6 foot 8 and 260 lbs. He's also able to run for two 40 minute halves without stopping.

There are seriously quick and seriously big players in rugby and in NFL, the differences are how specialist those players are.

The reason that some NFL players can be literal fridges with legs is that those players have no purpose other than to shove other giant people, for 10 seconds, and then a break, and another 10 seconds, and so on.
I remember a game when one blocker picked up the ball in a turnover and "sprinted" the length of the field to score a TD and he needed oxygen to recover from it.

It's a completely different sport and other than being big impacts, the types of athletes are completely different.

Rugby is a mix of strength, speed and endurance in 15 players, all have to have a bit of those things. NFL is a set of players who are strong as fuck but slow, a set who are athletic as fuck, tall and quick, and a few who have to be short, agile and strong, with alot less need for endurance

forgot pic related.

>t. millwall football fan who also pays to watch major boxing fights but nothing else

>implying a rugby player could do that either
Larger rugby players are standing around or jogging for most of the match. Only the smaller guys are actually running.

What is your point exactly? Even big guys jogging for 40 minutes per half is a lot of fucking work.

The main point of ridicule for American football is that your big guys literally do 10 seconds of work, and then have a 5 minute break, before doing another 10 seconds of work.

Lmao Rugby big guys stand around on a field for minutes at a time before anything happens which involves them. They are n different from their American football counterparts. In fact, they might be worse because there's a maximum 45 second running clock in between plays for the players to line up and battle on the line of scrimmage whereas in rugby the big guy just stands around while the ball is handled by little guys for minutes at a time.

I've never seen a football match where the players don't line up and fail to pass rush or block every couple seconds. I have seen rugby matches where your glorious giants stand around with their thumbs up their asses near centerfield for nearly the entirety of the match.

If you want to prove me wrong, link a football match and a rugby match. Then let's count up the number of times the big guys hit and the frequency at which they do it. Let's also measure distance traveled up and down the field for the player compared to their starting point.

Who gives a fuck about who's doing what in the game, American football is boring as shit

>inb4 legions of euros flood in from /int/ muttposting because having an argument is too much work

>t. Euromutt

Marcy forearm and wrist developer. You just twist knob to add resistance, and flex your wrist for as many reps as you’d like. It’s essentially doing wrist curls. You can achieve the same thing using dumbbells, but this machine is more mobile.

>doing wrist curls
enjoy fucking up your wrist forearmlets

OP, you should do heavy farmer holds using the thick end of the barbell, like in this vid youtube.com/watch?v=O12j3PxW-jg

rest one side of the barbell at a bench and then just deadlift it and hold as much as you can, increase weight when you can hold it for more than 30 seconds

I FUCKING guarantee you your forearms will be burning after just 4 sets

>Seppo calling euros mutts

You're kidding right

>posting euromutt cave drawings
Wew

Eben is one of a kind though, he is basically a physical god

He is also able to run 40 meters in .5 seconds slower than Usain Bolt.

Running a 40 meter dash .5 seconds slower than Usain Bolt isn't an amazing accomplishment as an athlete...
In fact, many athletes are faster than Usain Bolt in the 40 because Usain picks up speed on his stride and his starts are notorious for being slow (not that they aren't fast, they're slow for a sprinter), so that makes that "accomplishment" worth even less

>everybody bragging about their forearms
>literally no one posting actual numbers

You talk as if every other runner on the planet is as fast as Bolt.

your dad looks like a pussy and has small forearms

...user do you know what Bolt's estimated 40m time is?

Foreams like calves have very little androgen receptor density

No pump, I am just sitting on the couch thinking about a wrist roller right now

Would you rather crash into people as hard as you can with nothing or while wearing a helmet and pads?

It's like in boxing, way more blows to the head after gloves got introduced.

football uses many pads but they also hit harder so it evens out. if you did football style hits without helmet then people would straight up die because you would have to be retarded to hit like that with no pads

Jesus christ what a weak fag. Can even do a pullup with grip that weak?

whats your 40

i think the reasoning is:
>smaller muscles -> smaller muscle fibers -> smaller muscle fiber tears -> less to repair -> faster recovery

but idk it just seems like bro science. i hit everything 3 times a week with varying reps

okay now explain how all fat guys have giant calves. They're walking around on them all day, doing thousands of reps. Your muscles don't shut down when you do "too much"

or use a trap bar with Fat Grips so you don't look like an autist

Looks like the fucking power fists from fallout

...

What lol I've had bigger foreaems than my biceps since I was like 16, I raced motocross and worked labor jobs my whole life and everyone comments on my forearms and asks what I do and I've never purposely trained them

>no ball in rugby

Seems about right

You fell for the rest day meme a little too hard.
Experiment for you: go do bicep curls every single day. 7 days a week.
They'll blow up faster than you can imagine. Srs

reverse grip curls

or just work as a cook for a few years

This

actual work 50 hours a week will get you big forearms, unless you're gonna train forearms 10hrs a day enjoy your baby arms

Because unlike men in the past who actually worked guys these days sit at a desk all day never using any muscles

Look at any labor worker who's done it for 15+ years and you'll see real man arms like all men used to have

Low test. High test equals big forearms aka the most important muscle for not looking dyel

mirin

>many athletes are faster than Usain Bolt in the 40

Holy fuck this is just about the dumbest thing I have ever read. The NFL combine record is 4.22, en route during 100m Usain Bolt has run sub 4.1 and as you say he is not even that great at the start. However, he is not great COMPARED TO OTHER SPRINTERS. In no way is an athlete from another sport faster than Bolt over a 40.

Christian Coleman, a young sprinter from the USA ran 4.1 for a combine-style 40 last year. This year he ran 6.37 for a 60m indoor sprint. Again, Usain Bolt has run 6.29 en route to a 100m.

You can reasonably estimate Usain Bolts true 40yard time to be sub 4. There are probably almost no other athletes on the planet who could achieve that, certainly not in other sports.

What rubish is this?

Been checking out this company's stuff for the last few days. Shit's expensive but apparently the build quality is quite high and it looks like an interesting workout.

It's easy to grow them faggot. If you want to stop being a forarmlet just do forearm rolls. You get a barbell that weights between 40-70 lbs and you do 5 sets of 2 minute forearm rolls every other day

I got one of those ivanko super grippers and it is amazing having the variability for growth, im up to 300 lb crush grip started at 250lb

Forearms, neck, and traps are normally strongmen muscles. When these three muscles are lacking (especially the neck), you know someone is a soyboy roider who struggles to deadlift 500.

These muscles will naturally get big if you get really fucking strong at squats and deadlifts, (of all kinds), presses/bench (of all kinds), and rows/pull ups of all kinds. Especially the deadlifts and HEAVY rows.

>want big forearms? dont train them directly, instead, do leg exercises

I just dont know anymore man

Why do you walk on stilts most days?

>Most rugby players who make the change stay in the NFl
no rugby players make the change. thats my point. one of the best tried and couldnt even make it as a bench warmer.

Im not saying rugby players are not big or quick but compared to elite NFL athletes they simply do not compare. Whats his athletic testing numbers? I doubt he runs sub 4.9 40 yard dash

5.1 40 meter dash? this guy wouldnt even get drafted. WAY to slow for the NFL

You realize that if you train every day that gives you 24 hours in-between each session for the muscles to recover, right? Forearms and calfs are small muscles that recover very quickly so training every day should be fine. Maybe take one day a week as a rest day just in case.

Also, muscles in general recover faster from high volume/low weight work, thus why people can get away with doing cardio 6 days a week. You legs can be pretty worn out from a solid cardio session but since you're only moving your bodyweight, the next day they're all ready to go again.

checked

Easier to work on ceilings

or just a manlet, not OP
