I have a secret method.

i gave up hope, if they dont grow from back training alone dont bother to train them apart.

Yes, religiously.

Had my right forearm muscles sliced through to the bone a few years back. Makes for a nice deformity, strength loss, and loss of sensation.

Nope, it wouldn't suit my build. Some guys it really suits, but if you haven't built a decent base through compound lifts don't bother.

Forearms are like calves, they either respond or don't.

Fuck. How did it happen? Do they think the nerves will grow back over time and give you some improvement in strength and feeling?

Used to work as a glass cutter.

Glass is sharp, apparently. Who knew?

Almost 10 years later and the injured area is still sensitive to the touch, akin to hitting your funnybone.

The nerves were sliced in half and had to been stitched back together, after another doc had stitched the nerve into the muscle...grrr.

Still have little feeling from the cut down to my hand and touching the hand in one area creates a sensation in another area. My dominant arm is no longer my dominant arm in terms of strength. Good times!

Not consistently. Perform enough heavy lifts overtime and they'll develop.

Injury wasn't too painful, but getting the nerves reattached with only a tourniquet and a local anaesthetic applied was agony.

Holy shit, sorry to hear that.

I've met a few window guys who were missing fingers. The glass game sounds brutal.

Whoa. Not me man. I have no problem being a complete candyass when there's dangerous work afoot.

Meso_z · « **Reply #16 on:** October 16, 2010, 08:06:36 AM »

Im not one of these "they get enough stimulation from back" guys.

I train them twice a month, after back. 1 exersice heavy weight, high reps. Sometimes i train them with arms....it really depends actually but i definately train them.

I have great forearms. they have that "bump" (brachialis?) Phil heath has. well not that HUGE, they look like a mini version of heaths.

They are definately a plus in creating a powerful look.

Yep.

Took a while to be able to pick again, but I still shred.

Another scar lengthwise makes the scars form a cross. Large buildup of scar tissue forms the lump.

not one masturbation joke in this thread...WTF?!

anyway, I (believe it or not) have very impressive forearms because of my wop genetics.

Great. The guy who damn near got his arm cut off is outmassing me.

Long scar is long!

At least you've got function and you're all in one piece, YR.
