If you haven't already, sign up for the program and look up the exercises. Post a question under FT Staff Announcements and ask them specifically about adding a forearm muscle targeting section. Good luck...

Seated Alternating Dumbbell Hammer Curls, Barbell Wrist Curls, Reverse Wrist Curls with a bar, And Dumbbell Concentration Wrist Curls. The reason I alternate is I train forearms on my Chest and Bicep days and by the time I get to them i'm pretty torched they way I break them up is one set with a bar and one with a Dumbbell. I hope this helps you good luck Dave

You'll strengthen your forearms as well as your grips: Take some very heavy dumbells (around 8-10 kgs more heavy than the db or bb you use for dead lifts) just hold the db in your hands and walk a little. I can tell you this sounds easy but it'll kill your forearms. First you'll be able to hold then for poor 5 sec, then 10, then 1 minute.......
