Forearm Muscle Anatomy and Overview

Wrist Extensors, Wrist Flexors, Forearms, Arm, Forearm anatomy picture

Forearm Function

The fuction of the forearms is for wrist extension, abduction, adduction and finger extension/abduction.

Forearm Training

Training the forearms is usually one of the easier muscle groups to train because when you use dumbbells your forearms are always working against gravity to hold onto the weights. If you plan on training forearms on their own day, pick a lower body day.

Carpal Tunnel Syndome is associated with forearms and please take a break from forearm training if you feel pain or any irritation in your forearms.

Forearm Other/Similar Names

Other names for this muscle group or similar muscle groups referred to the 'Forearm' are: Wrist Extensors, Wrist Flexors, Forearms, Arm, Forearm

What if I have fatty Forearm? What exercises can I do to reduce fat on my Forearm muscle?
Spot reducing is a common conception to reduce the fat on a specific area. Ie. Forearm. You cannot spot reduce, but you can: Follow six rules to nutrition, incorporate HIIT and complete a ciruit training program 4-5 days a week to reduce your overall body fat and eventually reduce the fat in your Forearm. In other words, specifically exercising your Forearm will not directly decrease the overall fat around the muscle. Also if you are suffering from muscle cramps, please read about what causes muscle cramps.

What can I do for Forearm Pain?

Forearm pain can be caused by many things:

1. A strained/pulled muscle, tendon or ligament from too much exercise or improper lifting.
2. A torn muscle, ligament or tendon from improper lifting, exercising or stretching.
3. Overuse of the Forearm muscle.

Note: If pain in your Forearm muscle persists please consult a doctor immediately.
