i do hammer curls but im sure there is a better one for it.
pinwheel curls kick ass. it's just like a hammer curl, but instead of bring the weight up to your shoulder with your arm moving perpendicuar to your body, you hammer the weight across your body with your arm moving parallel to your body.
Works way better (for me) when working the brachialis.
In all respect, I hope you're not one of those "squats make your arms bigger" guys. I can see how you could say rows and deads, but what is your reasoning behind the squats?Wow - Can't believe no one mentioned this...
The single greatest exercise for arms are full squats, followed closely by heavy deadlifts and heavy barbell rows.
You guys think I'm kidding.
I'm not.

I think you've got it BUT, i don't touch the opposite shoulder. Just do the motion and you'll feel how to make it smash the brachialis. Just dial it in from there.This would be a criss-crossing motion then, right? Like, the DB's touch the opposite shoulder as you curl the weight across your body? Right? :think:
Here it comes...the old localized v. systematic hormonal change as a result of squats debateIn all respect, I hope you're not one of those "squats make your arms bigger" guys. I can see how you could say rows and deads, but what is your reasoning behind the squats?
I know ... Emperical evidence is in favor of the gym lore and scientific evidence is in favor of a group of guys who often outthink themselvesActually, No kwycke. No one has proven systematic growth through hormonal change, but there is some evidence for it.
What you do typically find, however, is that guys who put an emphasis on full squatting and deadlifting seem to be much, much larger than your average guy who's worried about forearm size.

yeah, the frustration is understandable. Afterall, i too was once victim to much misinformationI wasn't trying to start a debate in anyway b/c this board has been through that discussion before. Sorry if it came off that way. I just hate it when people take it way out of context...and a lot do.
Let me quote a friend of mine on the subject...
. Done with sufficient intensity and volume, it produces enough stress to evoke a hormonal response, something no isolation exercise – or circuit of isolation exercises – can do. Squats, better than any other single exercise, load the whole body in a way that causes the body to respond as a whole."
