The best forearm exercises are compound exercises that allow the use of heavy weights. Some isolation movements are also great for strengthening and building muscle in the forearms.


Let's see which exercises are the best forearm builders...

Best Forearm Exercises

In no particular order... Pinwheel Curls Hammer Curls Reverse Cable Curls Wrist Curls The links above take you further down this page.

Pinwheel Curls

Pinwheel curls are my favorite forearms exercise. This exercise really targets the brachioradialis...

Hammer Curls

This is another one of the brachioradialis targeted exercises that build the upper forearm. Hammer curls are a great exercise that also work the biceps!

Reverse Cable Curls

Reverse cable curls are another one of the best forearms exercises you can do to build the upper forearm. Check out this video by one of the top trainers in the world...

Wrist Curls

Wrist curls can be done with your palms facing upwards or can be done in the reverse style with the palms facing downwards...

• Wrist Curls

• Reverse Wrist Curls

I suggest you always try a variety of exercises throughout the year. Work very hard getting strong on one exercise and then switch to another exercise a few months later.
