I know bodybuilders want to get huge arms, by working the biceps, triceps and forearms…by just doing forearm workouts alone on dumbells, but why? What’s the point?

I started doing dumbell forearm exercises for a while. It’s those exercises when you sit down or stand, put the dumbells on your legs when you’re sitting, and just lift your hands up, then back down. You do the same with the palms of your hands facing up.

The reason I don’t agree with doing dumbell forearm exercises is that you’re already working the forearms by doing pretty much every upper body workouts you do.

Any kind of pushups, you’re working the forearms. Any kind of dumbell curls or tricep dumbell stuff, you’re already working the forearms. Any exercise that you’re doing with your arms, you’re working the forearms.

So why is it do I see people at the gym doing dumbell forearm exercises when they’re already doing forearm stuff on every other workouts? You work the forearms way too much. Don’t obsess with the forearms too much, they’ll get bigger on it’s own doing other upper body workouts, any upper body workout that you’re doing with your arms.

People lifting weights, need to think about that. I learned when wanting to get bigger and stronger arms, work the triceps more than anything else, don’t obsess with everything else too much. The triceps is the most important part, in my opinion.
