After a couple of months of lifting and seeing some progress to my shoulders, triceps and biceps I'm noticing that my forearms need some work too in order to build up their size.
What are some good forearm exercises?

So far the only one I know is a forearm curl? where you put your arm down on a bench and holding a dumbell flex your hand up so your knuckles are pointing towards the ceiling, then you slowly flex down so they're pointing towards the floor - like a bicep curl but just using your wrist.

Its a ball you squeeze mainly used to relieve stress. Thats why its called a stress ball also

do those spring-loaded grip devices also work for forearms? The ones that look like a set of pliers

I have one of these gold's gym fore arm excersiser, It works great! You can set it at differnt difficulty as well, If you put it on a harder level (weight) It will actually challenges you unlike grip ball and hand squeezer. And you can buy it at Wal-Mart for bout $15
