You think doing forearm curls and farmer walks 2-3 times a week whiles using suicide grip for some exercises such as pull ups good enough?
more than good enough but it depends on the rep range, they're not a muscle that responds well to heavy weight (and neither do the tendons in your arms for that matter)
5-8 rep range good enough or should i focus more on reps and lighter weight?
This is kinda true. Maybe its just my body dysmorphia but I feel self-conscious about the size of my forearms. But then when I compare my tiny little wrist to my forearms, my forearms look fucking massive. And I have only recently started training forearms directly. I was doing reverse barbell curls in June. Then I switched to hammer curls in July. Now I do hammer curls like every 4 days on a PPL. I was also deadlifting like 3-3.5 times a week like an idiot from mid-January to early July. That might have helped with my forearms. I cooled it with the deadlifting after that. Now I deadlift once every 8 days. Though I do Romanian deadlifts on leg day once every 4 days. I also used to do wrist curls from mid-July to mid-January. Not sure how legit those are.
The thing is Tyler Pathradecha looks amazing with his shirt off. Like Chang-tier. And he claims to only be 135 lbs and I've heard he's 5'7" (maybe he's frauding his height a little bit? He tends to avoid answering the question on IG as of late when people ask him how tall he is).
I guess wrist size increases with age, I see boomers and +60 yo man going around with legit +10 inch wrists meanwhile it's impossible to find a zoomer with such a size.
You absolutely can train forearms to be bigger. Just don't except your forearms to be massive if you have tiny wrists like I do. I'm still going to do my hammer curls. Because if I don't, my biceps and triceps are going to look huge compared to my forearms and I'm going to look like one of those douchebags at Planet Fitness that only do meme bicep curls. Though the irony is that bicep curls don't actually grow your arms that much. Tricep Rope Pushdowns, Tricep Extensions, Skullcrushers, Weighted Tricep Dips, etc. are far more effective at making your arms look bigger because triceps are like what? Double the size of biceps?
doubt it. I'm 39. my dad just has way more robust bone structure. very masculine high T appearance. he was at least 2 inches shorter than me at his peak, too. i got my mom's ultra frail genes.
I wonder if its because testosterone levels in men have dipped from generation to generation to generation.
Good forearms. May I ask you which is the after?
It may be, but really hard to get conclusive evidence for this because bone alteration is a process with a huge amount of factors, not just a thing of T, E and GH.
lighter weight, higher range range.
Interesting. Your wrists don't look small at all. Measurements?
they're a bit above 7 inch, not super small, not big.
It's kind of average, but since the rest of your arm structure is pretty thick, I guess it allows you to grow your forearms to that extent. So wristpill lacks in its definition that also the rest of your arm bone structure maatters, same for anklepill.
6'2
True, but I would say the whole structure, knee and elbows included, is a very good predictor of the capacity to muscle building in the zone. No chance to build some decent muscle if you have 6.5" wrists and small elbows
Your arms got longer over the time ?
brutal
How are your forearm muscle insertions, are they long or short ? I’m 6’0 with a wingspan a little bit past 6’5 but my forearm muscles insertions insert very highly on my forearm, therefore there is more tendon and less muscle belly which makes it easier to grow.
