To effectively and efficiently maximize forearm hypertrophy, you should consider the following detailed strategies based on the scientific literature:
1. Understanding Forearm Anatomy
Anterior Compartment: Includes muscles primarily involved in wrist flexion, such as the
flexor digitorum superficialis and
flexor digitorum profundus, as well as muscles for thumb flexion and radial/ulnar deviation.
Posterior Compartment
: Includes muscles responsible for wrist extension, such as the
extensor digitorum and
extensor indices.
2. Direct Forearm Training
Wrist Curls: These are effective for targeting the anterior forearm muscles. Performing wrist curls with the wrist in a more extended position (i.e., with the forearm resting on a surface and knuckles facing up) may enhance muscle lengthening and hypertrophy.
