Yup, I've had them for a while now but they look like they are fading a bit.

noob question: fell off the horse and havent worked out for a couple months, ive always wondered this though... Just started working out again and im sore as ##!@, after ive gone for like a couple weeks or so though im not as sore as i would get say the first week. am i not gaining as much muscle like the plateau effect or is my body just getting used to working out again?
cliffies: does no pain = no gain?
Dont use soreness as an indicator of your workout. Theres no correlation.
That's a shame
I thought my forearms just get gradually stronger as I continue to work out, and everything kind of evens out by itself.
So there's nothing I can do besides just working out only my forearms? I did it for a good few months a year or two ago. I had hand grips, but stopped because I lost them.
That's why I'm kind of surprised as well, I thought my forearms would be at least decent.
There's nothing else I can buy or use?
They will get stronger the more you exercise. I dont know if this is the case, but take notice to how hard to grip something. Often times people will take all their stress and pressure out on their grip thus creating tight forearms during an exercise. You want to hold the weight, not grab it tightly.
Your forearm muscles will progression if they are being hit as a secondary muscle group; however, the results will not be the same compared to primary workouts. You kind of want to even it out since, you are working your upper arms you need a "good" forearm muscles to balance the weight. ~
"Primary" forearm exercises wont help him in this case, and they dont help many people either.

Thats the thing, it first occured like a month ago. I cramped out when I was working them out about 3-4x a week. Then I gave it a rest for a while, and tried it again Saturday, and spazzed out again.Originally Posted by DiPlOMaT007

toast1985, are you dehydrated?
Looking throughout Google, some say it may be a lack of potassium in my diet. I sometimes eat a banana before my workout, but I am going to make sure I have enough before I work out.
how often you working them out , might just be over training . Mines get sore to the point some times i can crunch any more

^ Jordan Novice, Either that or your doing your arm exercises in the wrong form or lifting too much weight. But in the case of just your forearm muscles, try googling forearm workouts. Look for primary muslce workouts not secondary such as preacher's curls.

Edit - Also, when I do bicep exercises, I usually do dumbbells instead of curl bar. Whenever the weight goes down after each rep, my arm is just sort of hanging there, and I feel an intense burn on my forearm
