Interesting that you mention forearm work and do hammer curls. Forearms are such an overlooked bodypart. For me, they're the one muscle group that responded quickly. ( Everything ELSE takes work!) By the way, have you ever noticed Arnolds forearms kinda suck!

 

[Mobster]

In a way any forearm size I get is an added bonus. I'm aware it creates a 'look at that' psyche in those around me when I'm doing exhibition type work (as per this coming weekend). Grip strength and power is the focus

I think a lot of early grip work as a kid built the foundation for my forearms to respond with practically no work. Maybe I should have concentrated on squatting! lol

100%. I've stated that I beat many of my lighter competitors simply cos I trained to be stronger on the other compounds. Indeed some deliberately stayed 'in their lane' bodyweight wise. F**k that lol. Simply you're not strong if you don't bench 300+, press 200+, squat 400+ and so on.
