ive never felt more fit that when i had a job as a mover, but i dont think it made my forearms much bigger. they have however shrunk since.

do those handgrip things do this? xp thanks jhoshea im gonna invest in one

deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Jordan, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Ingredients:

1. 1 foot or so of 1 inch diameter dowel

2 - 4-5 feet of rope

3 - five lb. weight.

Tie one end of the rope to the middle of the dowel, and the other end to the weight. Hold the dowel with both hands at arms length in front of you. Lift the brick up from the floor by turning the dowel and winding the rope around it. Lower the brick by the same method.

find a rock climbing facility. then climb rocks.

A fried worked at Ben & Jerry's in high school for about a year. 13 years later he still has an enormous lump of muscle in his forearm from scooping ice cream.

Jesse, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:11 (sixteen years ago) link

oilyrags i did the gym version of that exercise when weight-lifting was required in high school. got laffed at cuz i was so pathetic at it. so i realize thats probably the best exercise possible for this sort of thing but at the same time im looking for something even simpler.

i think ill try the ball + gripper, if those arent enough to at least potentially get my forearms to the size where i could for ex wear a watch without looking like a complete goofball, someone let me know.

deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:18 (sixteen years ago) link

play drums.

Jordan, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:19 (sixteen years ago) link

i don't think people wear watches anymore?

Jordan, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:19 (sixteen years ago) link

xp ^^^^ this

dan m, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:21 (sixteen years ago) link

no matter how big your forearms get, you can't beef up your wrists, deez, so i don't know how wearing a watch has anything to do with your forearms unless you wear one as a gauntlet

elmo argonaut, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:22 (sixteen years ago) link

haha

Just get a smaller watch.

nickalicious, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:23 (sixteen years ago) link

The world needs people with tiny forearms! Who will free Indiana Jones from all those traps?

nickalicious, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:23 (sixteen years ago) link

not coordinated enough for drums.

i dont actually want to wear a watch, just using that as an example. i had a sad realization recently that even if i did want to i really couldnt - its not because of wrist size, its because watches just look really goofy on guys with skinny forearms.

btw just to clarify i mean "simpler" as in not requiring dowels or bricks, not as in "easier". although i guess i could pick all those up for like 5 bucks at ace hardware or something, i might actually give it a shot.

deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:25 (sixteen years ago) link

why do you want this

cutty, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:27 (sixteen years ago) link

do you have ridiculously skinny forearms?

deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:29 (sixteen years ago) link

get a chin-up bar

elmo argonaut, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:33 (sixteen years ago) link

I totally clicked on this thread to say "play drums". Thanks, guys!

Laurel, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:34 (sixteen years ago) link

my forearms and wrists are very skinny, i've never felt sensitive about it in my life. how big is your penis?

cutty, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:39 (sixteen years ago) link

my wrists are larger than my forearms at their narrowest point. i am perfectly fine with my penis.

deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:42 (sixteen years ago) link

im also tall so that might compound it

deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link

Your penis?

nickalicious, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link

cutty disproves the drummer/forearm hypothesis.

Jordan, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:52 (sixteen years ago) link

can we have jpgs of said wrists/forearms

cutty, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:53 (sixteen years ago) link

yah then u can update us when u get all lol hueg

jhøshea, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:54 (sixteen years ago) link

i do have a cam but no usb cord at the moment. theyre not superfreakish looking but the wristbone does visibly jut out from the forearm, surely someone else here has this or has seen this

deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 15:57 (sixteen years ago) link

^ I have this.

Also, I do play drums and furiously masturbate with both hands, so there goes that theory. The difference is, I don't care about my skinny forearms!

Z S, Thursday, 20 March 2008 16:04 (sixteen years ago) link

Forearm implants.

libcrypt, Thursday, 20 March 2008 16:22 (sixteen years ago) link

deeznuts has indie forearms.

Jordan, Thursday, 20 March 2008 16:26 (sixteen years ago) link

type madly in internet forums for long enough, and your forearms will be huge

dan m, Thursday, 20 March 2008 16:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Maybe he should get fat injections in his forearms, like they give to guys who want more penile girth.

libcrypt, Thursday, 20 March 2008 16:28 (sixteen years ago) link

yuuuuuuuuuck.

i also have skinny arms and wrists. i also care but have never had the disclpine to stick to an exercise regimen for its own sake. i like the rock climbing recommendation though. i am quite scrambly.

Upt0eleven, Thursday, 20 March 2008 16:51 (sixteen years ago) link

> i ... never had the disclpine to stick to an exercise regimen for its own sake.

otn

Oilyrags, Thursday, 20 March 2008 16:55 (sixteen years ago) link

Even when I was at my most chair-breakingly fat my wrists stayed bizarrely boney.

nickalicious, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:15 (sixteen years ago) link

You could do like I do and wear clothes with sleeves that are long enough to cover up your freakish wristbones.

This only really works in cold weather though. Good luck!

nickalicious, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:16 (sixteen years ago) link

guys you need one of these

ken c, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link

get a job landscaping/gardening. getting paid to dig and plant is way better than buying some lame gimmicky ball and squeezing a lot.

Kerm, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link

These are the most horrifying videos I've ever seen on youtube! Even more than the naked dancing mushroom guy!

nickalicious, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:33 (sixteen years ago) link

a couple of homemade rubber band balls have more resistance than any of the devices you can buy. Go to staples and buy a bag of rubber bands and make yourself a couple that are just a little smaller than a baseball. Crush them every day for hours while you listen to an old korean lady dodder on about her native language. I think a few other ilxors have seen my forearms.

El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Yep.

Laurel, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:41 (sixteen years ago) link

i had a jazz professor who swore by picking up a few newspaper pages and crumpling them up into a small ball using only one hand. it's harder than it sounds!

Jordan, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:42 (sixteen years ago) link

has anyone here ever broken an egg in the palm of their hand?

deeznuts, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:47 (sixteen years ago) link

I'd be afraid of cutting myself on eggshell, you have to squeeze pretty hard if yr applying pressure over the whole surface.

Laurel, Thursday, 20 March 2008 17:49 (sixteen years ago) link

omg the powerball lollololwtf amzing !!!!

jhøshea, Thursday, 20 March 2008 18:13 (sixteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

ok I got to try out one of those powerball things today, a coworker brought it in. I think I'm going to get one. They aren't kidding about the torque, I don't even think I got it going very fast and I was getting some BURN in my extensors

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:48 (sixteen years ago) link

tennis is good too

felicity, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:52 (sixteen years ago) link

If you break your forearm it swells up something fierce. That's one way to do it.

Abbott, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:53 (sixteen years ago) link

outdoor exercise is so 1999

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 01:56 (sixteen years ago) link

Maybe THAT'S why I hated 1999 so bad.

i think chaki needs to answer this question

carrying heavy packages, tensing below the elbow, over more than minor distances doesn't hurt, but that's 'bigger', not 'big'

gabbneb, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 02:28 (sixteen years ago) link

Does chaks have forearms larger than the average ILXer?

libcrypt, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 02:31 (sixteen years ago) link

dude, check WDYLL

gabbneb, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 02:38 (sixteen years ago) link

Shit man dude LIFTS.

libcrypt, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 02:44 (sixteen years ago) link

of course chaki has massive forearms, thats how hes capable of pushing away those who love him most

BYE

deeznuts, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 03:00 (sixteen years ago) link

Deez I do believe you've found your "schtick."

:D
:p

felicity, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 03:10 (sixteen years ago) link

bahahahahaha good stuff deeznuts

Abbott, Tuesday, 8 April 2008 03:54 (sixteen years ago) link

powerball update, after using it on both arms for about 20-30 minutes a day last week, I got those weird pins and needles/numbness in my hands during the past couple of days from new muscle growth pinching the nerves. I know the feeling because I've had it before when I had a full calisthenics regimen I did every other day

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 22:04 (sixteen years ago) link

o shit i still need to get one of those

deeznuts, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 22:06 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm still borrowing the one my coworker brought in

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 22:09 (sixteen years ago) link

Play mallet instruments, especially vibes.

Curt1s Stephens, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 23:07 (sixteen years ago) link

i've never done it, but I see dudes in the gym using a weight plate attached to short wooden dowel with a couple of feet of rope. hold your arms out and rotate the dowel (parallel to ground) to raise and lower the weight.

will, Thursday, 17 April 2008 13:32 (sixteen years ago) link

as suggested, I have made a rubber band ball and squeeze it while at work. not sure it's making any difference but it's either that or my coworkers neck.

breeeeeeathe

Upt0eleven, Thursday, 17 April 2008 13:53 (sixteen years ago) link

Working in a commercial laundry for only two weeks actually made an impression on my forearms! Very tough work.
