Do one armed pushups help increase strength?
I like to think of them more for show than anything
If they do help your muscles then which ones?
Plus, what helps increase forearm size because my bis and tris are much much larger than them.

Wrist curls, reverse wrist curls, and lots of grip work.

Also, one armed pushups are more of a strength builder than regular push ups. They are a form of increasing the resistance, and they teach total body tension and build trunk strength and stability. When you can do a set of 10 with perfect form, then you can tell me they are for show. And I mean perfect form. When you can do this, you should check out some of pavel tsatsouline's books on bodyweight training ("The Naked Warrior").
