/fit/, is it possible for a human to look like this? I'm talking proportions, his forearms look pretty huge to me, and his shoulders are extreme. Would you need some sort of crazy bone structure to have shoulders like that?Also, women: would you sex that?
Genetics will decide the *shape* of your muscle, but I suppose you could work to proportion yourself like that with some prioritizing. It's possible but out of the reach of the average lazy 4channer.
cool, seeing as how i really do have genetics on my side (nearly the ONLY thing i can thank my dad for) Its good to know.
oh yeah, on forearms: are forearm curls really the only good excercise? ive got one of those squeezy grip strength shitty things but i can squeeze it all day and not feel much.
>>43518you can get better ones, theres a company that makes them in like increasing 5lb increments up to something ungodly that like only 4 people can actually close i think like 400 or 500 lbs or something ridiculous
>>43516Good luck. Heavy compound lifts, keep the workouts within one hour, protein and simple carbs immediately after.If any of that is new to you I suggest lurking a weight lifting forum to soak up some knowledge.
>>43518Best things for forearms have to be deadlifts, shrugs, farmers walks, basically anything that you have to grip a heavy ass weight in your naked hand.
>>43520Sweet, sounds pretty simple.>>43523Will that bulk me up or just make me stronger? I figure (and I'm probably completely wrong) that it would be better to go through a range of motion, instead of working isometrically.Also what are farmers walks? they sound goooood.
>>43525listen to>>43523any exercise that makes you grip heavy weights will strengthen and enlarge your forearms. mine grew pretty big from static shrugs.
>>43540awesome. I guess all the horrible shitposting trolls have gone away. for now.
>>43511sup?
Proportions are based on genetics, really. You can get big but how you will look depends on your bone structure and body type. You can do some faggy single joint or isolation work to try to change fate but it's not going to drastically enlarge a muscle out of proportion to the rest of your body. Fyi, forearms arn't something you target for size. In general they are the hardest fucking muscle to "develop" and generally come as a side affect from lifting heavy. Mine got bigger from pullups but shit im not swole.

It's possible, but he has monkey muscles, like he's been swinging through trees and stuff. The only way to develop like that is to do stuff like monkeys.
Forearms make me think of baseball players. Find something heavy to swing around.But yeah I've been doing shrugs, deadlifts, and trying to work obliques, and the first things to give out were my forearms and hands.
>>43561SWEEEEEET. OP thanks you.
