In this article I will outline exactly why it is important to develop the forearms to their fullest and provide a series of exercises and programs to enhance the forearm growth of anyone regardless of individual genetic limitations.
By strengthening the forearms, one can enhance their ability to engage in heavy lifting across all muscle groups. Often, the forearms can form a weak link which, in turn, limits the types of exercises one can do. For example, to fully develop the back, chins and bent rowing are fundamental prerequisites. Without a strong grip, using heavy weights with these exercises is next to impossible.
Indeed, increases in forearm strength will lead to upper-body strength gains overall, in that the lifter can safely make the transition to a heavier overall weight increase without fear of the forearms giving out on them mid-set. Thus, in this regard, effective forearm training leads to safer, more efficient, training sessions.
