    There is an exercise that works wonders for your entire upper body. I used to do this all the time when I was racing moto-x. Tie a shoulder height length of rope around the center of a dumb bell handle(or something similar), and tie the other end to a five pound weight(approximate). Now hold the bar straight out in front of you and rotate(twist) the bar until the weight reaches the bar, and then unwind, lowering the weight to the floor.
    Do this often, and you will have Popeye forearms in no time!

    yeah serial it works better with one of those strechy bands cause then u got more to turn and it will make it abit harder but use it on a 10lb dumbell thats a challange 5lb dumbells are easy untill your arms are tied of being out into of you.

    That is why you use a lighter weight with more reps, it builds endurance.

Moving up in weight always takes some getting used to. Just give it time and the ball will feel lighter as you get used to it.
    This is great idea! I have the same problem as tylersheehy. I'm going to try this now. Thanks for the tip.

    Tomorrow is sunday! grab the paper when your dad and mom are done with it. open a page all the way and place your hand in the middle and crinkle the paper to a whad in your bowling hand. Trust me this is a big work out, do it several times and give it a final squeeze when you have it in your fist.

    I picked this tip up for forearms at the gym a long time ago its killer!

    and by the way the forearm is made of fast twitch muscles, make it stronger by lots and lots of reps heavy weight can cause problems.

    oh and farmer walks are pretty good. you just grab a moderate dumbbell weight and walk around a track, that's if you have one around you, you could use.
