forearms get hit pretty well just by doing deadlifts and shrugs, heavy bb weighted lifts...i just do 3 sets of hammers and those. mine develop well with just that

what's the normal relation in proportion between forearms and arms? I have 14'' arms and 11'' forearms, and i think i have relatively big forearms

my arms are 13.5 and i have 10-11in. forearms i think, mine look annoyingly small tho. im tall tho which plays a part in it.

I think genetics play an important role... Some don't even have to work forearms, they get enought stimulation from all the other exercises.. while some can do hammers, wrist curls, every iso possible and they still seem to lag behind.. kinda like calfs do for some people..

well right now i'm 162lbs, 6'0'' and around 12-14% bf.. i was at my best about a month ago 168 around 12%bf but since I sprained my ankle i haven't trained at all and i just eat and eat 'cause i don't have anything else to do lol and i've put on some fat, but i'm starting next week again :)
although i benched on thursday (180lbs 1RM) it doesn't count as a training day
So what are your stats?
