So lately I've noticed a bunch of people training forearms after workouts with one common trend. They do not have impressive forearms (or general size) and train with a lack of aggression and intensity for primary muscle groups.
I've come to think that most who train forearms separately should try to workout their other muscle groups "better".
For example, if your doing an intense back workout with those heavy sets that really stresses the forearms, or shrugs, or train arms on the same day (without taking 3 minutes rests between sets) to name a few examples. These things alone leave my forearms sore by themselves. Sometimes to the point where I might have to use straps for 225lbs shrugs if I work traps after back day.
Just an observation. I got nothing against a few sets of reverse or hammer curls and static holds, but I don't see a reason someone needs to train forearms like their chest with high frequency, when they should be getting a beating multiple times a week when training most other body parts.
For example, if your poundage progresses in rows or curls...etc. The forearms are also now under increased stress. Seems like progressing in most lifts will cause forearm improvement. I'm pretty sure deadlifting as heavy as you can before needing straps is also better for grip improvement than wrist culling 25 lbs for 10 reps to success. AKA the guy who shrugs 50 pound dumbbells and then wrist curls 30's. LOL wtf man
~Just a guy who doesn't isolate forearms, and is very pleased with their appearance.
