Strong lower arms, fingers and wrist are crucial to perform different movements correctly. In addition, big forearms look pretty good.

In most of the cases, we do not train this muscle group separately as we think the biceps and triceps workouts are enough. But the truth is that this muscle group needs strengthening as well, hence you need to include in your workout plan.

Top 3 Bodyweight Exercises for Forearms

Typically, those who do calisthenics have incredibly great looking forearms. This is because pull ups, chin ups, muscle ups and other movements work the lower part of the arm very efficiently.

I have shared this guy’s great body weight biceps workout here. In this video, he shares useful suggestions on how we can build forearm with various calisthenics movements.

For example, he talks about hanging with one, two, three or four fingers. When I started doing calisthenics my grip was rather weak so I could not perform moves correctly. I started doing this finger hanging and it did magic. Now I can do it using my own body weight. 🙂

He also mentions hanging with one arm, finger tip push ups and others. Excellent tips, I think this is the best video about this topic.
