I just recently decided that I wanted to build forearms. Since most workouts target them, I guess I figured I used them enough throughout the week to skip total forearm workouts. Bad move, while all the muscle groups are getting full stimulation, neglecting them could make it impossible to build forearms. The good thing is, since they are a small muscle and already being used regularly, you won’t have to perform total isolation workouts more than once or twice a week to build forearms.
Not really worried about good looking forearms?

That’s fine; forearms are used for a lot more than just looking good in shirts that cover the biceps. Choosing to build forearms will actually aid in other areas of lifting.
For example: Did you know that having stronger forearms can actually help increase your bench press? Interested in building bigger and stronger forearms now?
