I'm tall and have long arms. How the FUCK do I build bigger forearms. It seems you can only have big forearms if you're /dwarfmode/. I'm going for an athletic build, would I have to get builtfat/roid?
>>76670741To be fair, the problem is generally with my arms, even biceps / triceps, since I have long arms I need to pack a lot more muscle for it to be visible, since it has to spread out over a larger spaceCan I /elfmode/ with big arms? But since I play guitar, having muscular forearms would actually help me practically, so that's what I wanna focus on
>>76670741RICE BUCKET TRAINING
>>76670741Try bouldering. It absolutely obliterates your forearms, especially if you're trying hard but have a shitty climbing technique.
>>76670741the trick is volume you need to do 5x more volume than you think, and i mean that unironically the romanian guy with the big forearms and the rice bucket meme does 40x5 risers and pronations every day plus the rice plus hammer curls plus actual table arm wrestling
>>76670741>>76670748>>76670758>>76670793>>76670811its genetics you fucking faggots. if you have good forearm genetics you could be 6’2” with long limbs and get massive forearms from cable rows, if you dont have good forearm genetics it’s the equivalent of trying to make your biceps look like dudes with long bicep insertions while you have short bicep insertions
>>76670793Bouldering is great, I forgot about it... shit, I used to do it 10 years ago, I should start again... indeed I've never felt so much forearm pain as then>>76670822As far as I know, wrist size is genetics, not forearm (as in, the muscles)
>>76670826no mate, the size of your forearms is heavily dictated by the insertions’ and muscle belly’s length. this is also true for most muscles but it is much more evident on forearms and calves
>>76670836but you *can* build *some* muscle, you can even grow the muscle on your forehead if you grin long enoughquestion is, how to make the most out of itI didn't ask if I should "give up" so fuck off you blackpilling faggot
>>76670846if you dont have the right forearm insertions your forearms wont look big except if you are 5’6” or shorter. JFL at you calling me a faggot yet you are the one with the sticky hands here.<= this you and you wont be able to overcome genetics
>>76670741it fucking sucks for tall lanky dudesI can lift a shitload, my grip strength is so developed I mog blue collars, but I still look lanky af in pictures. I feel like if you don't have a solid frame, you can't have a solid physique, period.
>>76670874>wont look bigI didn't ask how to make the big, I asked how to make them bigGERare you saying it's impossible to make forearms even 1% bigger? retard
>>76670903stop blaming your height mate. While its true that if you are 5’6” or below your forearms will easily look big, when you are average or tall the reason they dont look big is genetics, not that you’re tall.>>76670922it is possible to make forearms bigger within your genetical limits, what i am saying is that you wont produce any worthy results they will still look small because you dont have the right genetics.i say this as someone who is 6’2” with long ass limbs and a 6’4” wingspan with massive forearms
>>76670922also this isnt a personal attack i am just saying that if you had the right genetics to have big forearms you would already know, its the same as calves. No amount of “high volume dark triad coping strategies 101” is going to change that
>>76670936but being a tall lanklet is precisely what you call genetics, right genetics for forearms mean solid frame with thick wrists and lanklets not only have tiny wrists but also long limbs, creating a combination that will effectively prevent them from building visually big forearms, in fact tall ectomorphs are fucked in every other area of bb
>>76670874Based lankletshamer>t. 5'7" chad
>>76670947true but i meant that its not being tall per se that makes someone unable to have big looking forearms. if you have the right forearm genetics (insertions and muscle belly) you can be tall with long limbs and still have big forearms
>>76670741Heavy wrist curls with the barbell. I wrist curl 220 lbs. I can snap a man’s neck with one hand.
>>76670936>>76670940alright, so basically your point, what you're trying to communicate to me, is that I should stop trying completely, right?
>>76671098no you should still train your forearms because its fun and it will make them veiny -and vascularity is law. just dont have the false expectation that your forearms will ever look big without the right genetics.<= my forearms grew like this at 6’2” from machine rows when i was 15, because of genetics not because of “rice bucket wrist curls” etc. same as calves u got middle aged dads with huge calves who never stepped into a gym and gymcels with kevin durant’s calves training them religiously
