I lost ⅛" in my upper forearms but gained ⅛" in my wrists and made huge gains in my mid-forearms area with over ½" in growth. Appears that my muscles, especially the flexors, tightened up as they lengthened this phase. Strength gains have been noticeable this phase so there's that as well as I tend to gain less mass when this happens... my muscles grow denser and harder but in turn I lose girth. As always, measuring is performed cold... without a pump... unflexed... no goosenecking... arm held out straight. 21 FEB 2020 = 81kg 11⅞" Wrist: 7"; Mid-Arm: 10⅛" 21 NOV 2019 = 82kg 12" Wrist: 6⅞"; Mid-Arm: 9½" 21 AUG 2019 = 82kg 11¾" Wrist: 6¾"; Mid-Arm: 9⅛" 21 MAY 2019 = 83kg 11¼" Wrist: 6¾"; Mid-Arm: ???" 21 MAR 2019 = 83kg 11" Wrist: 6½"; Mid-Arm: ???" 21 JAN 2019 = 84kg 10¾" Wrist: 6½; Mid-Arm: 8½" 21 AUG 2018 = 86kg 9¾" Wrist: 6¼"; Mid-Arm: ~8" This is facinating to me, I like to keep records of my measurements as well. Do you think you could of been dehydrated or carb depleted a bit on the last upper forearm measurement hence the slight reduction? Ethier way im sure visually they will look bigger as they will have more volume of mass. Its a shame there wasnt an easy way to measure the displacement of your forearms in water to see the increase in size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbs wise I don't typically fluctuate that much like some men do so if it is anything it would have to be dehydration. Here is a pic taken today @ 0645 HRS this morning after a 900M fast climb in ~30 minutes with my wife. Impressive man. You can tell the density is there, they look rock solid. A dorian yates type look. How do you measure the mid forearm? Ive alway found it hard to get the tape to sit level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one reason why I prefer not to measure with pumped, flexed, or goosenecked forearms as it can be indeed quite tricky to do. Our body tape measure is quite good and my wife's Siamese fingers are nimble... made for measuring! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our body tape measure is quite good and my wife's Siamese fingers are nimble... made for I measure the same way as you but i also measure with a straight out arm but with wrist curled up or flexed aswell, i keep a record of both measurements. Ive alway measured myself. I suppose someone else doing it would help. I know you do tonnes of exercises but if you want a good one for size, invest in a twist yo wrist from Ironmind. I used to think normal thick bar wrist rollers were good for size and they are but the twist yo wrist have visually increased my forearms in not many sessions. The burn is unreal after 4-5 reps. Ive never had a exercise pump my forearms as much. They are well worth the money. Edited February 27, 2020 by mcalpine1986 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the negative when lowering i try to just use my fingertips and thumbs so its like a dynamic pinch exercise as well. Im only using 6.25kg so far. Not much but its hard work, i dont think ive ever had an exercise that works the whole forearm as much in one go. Enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been performing a psuedo-like "twist yo wrist" movement using my fat wrist roller by holding the ends in similar fashion for a few sets. Just not as wide as the Ironmind implement though. This movement (radial/ulnar deviation) also can be performed on the barbell band wrist roller with the outer hand and then you switch positions (change sides on the bar) to use the other hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
