I recently came across this clip and thought it was a great instructional video showing how to build your forearms. In my years of weight training i have seen tons of people neglecting the forearms, mainly i believe it is because they don't really understand the importance of having strong forearms. The fact is, having strong forearms will actually help you in other workouts. Having strong forearms will allow you to hold heavier weights for a longer amount of time ultimately helping with muscle gains.
There is also another muscle that you don't want to skip, the extensors. The extensors are the muscles on the back of the hand. These along with the forearms will help in your other lifts. Take a look at the video , i recommend including some of these lifts into your workouts.
