He wants bigger forearms, not carpal tunnel syndrome!

I've never seen the point of arm curls other than perhaps doing a few sets once a week. The biceps will get hit doing chin-ups - along with a whole bunch of other muscles. That's a much more efficient way of doing things. And if you're doing weight-training for sports and physical performance (if not what the hell are you doing on a D.H health and fitness board!) - in my opinion, biceps are NOT your priority. Hamstrings, hips, quads, core, shoulders & grip are. Strength and as much flexibility as can be encouraged in those areas will lead to better performance.

(But yes, most of the drunken girls at your local will love a big set of guns. The usefulness of them in that respest is obvious!)

Fair enough.

If you're just trying to look better then find a good bodybuilding split. Something like (but not nessicarily the same as) this:

Monday
Triceps
Biceps
Chest

Wednesday
Back
Shoulders

Friday
Hamstring
Calfs
Quads

Aim for about 18 total sets (give or take, depending on your recovery capabilities) for each session.

Eat plenty of good carbs and fats - get around 1.5gms per pound of bodyweight of protien in you each day and drink lots and lots of water. In terms of diet - to build muscle you need to be consuming more calories daily than you're burning - that's clean calories - mars bars, crisps and the like dont count, they'll just make you fat. You need the extra protein to create (and maintain) new lean muscle mass.
 
As for the chin-up - explosive up - slowly and controlled on the way down.

Take my hat off to you Rokin...I hate chins to rear with outstretched legs  so much I just don't ever do them.!!! (what are they called anyway?...no-one seems to know!!)

I used to prize myself on being able to do 50 wide grip chins though or 10 wide chins with 40kg on my belt 

Sad to say in my sorry state at the minute I can barely do 15 per set 

Unfortunatly Human hippo's always seem to frequent the local watering holes with the dancing poles....it should be illigal 

Theres one thing my dad told me when i was young...and I always think of it when i nearly buy a cheap version of something...."you get what you pay for"

I don't need to say much more.

This is a great topic cheers

Arm pump is just lactic acid build up (correct me if im wrong) So any form of forearm compound exercise will benefit you there, just so you gain more endurance therefore you dont feel that horrible 'burning ' sensation.
