Ps : Way off topic here.. but im throwin it in... What would you recommend doing in order to beef up the forearms... im in the gym 4~5 days a week, everything seems to be going fairly well, but my forearms are too small for my biceps/triceps... I look disproportionate and it drives me nuts...

Yes my forearms was an area I have noticed a lot of diminished size since retiring from heavy lifting, I always liked making a fat bodied goose by bending my arm at the elbow and turning my wrist away with fingers in a pinch grip to entertain kids
. Forearms are like calves, their size is a little influenced by your Genetics but the biggest forarms are gained by lifting or pulling heavy weights in general but without using wrist straps, chinups are good but the deadlift (without using wrist straps) is the king of developing forearms and grip strength, also just hanging from a bar with one hand at a time for as long as you can a couple of times a week and adding weight to your body over time is good - over time I got to: my bodyweight (130kg) + 30kg hung around the waist held for just under a minute with one hand = big forearms

I know! post me your camera/scope, I'll lift it a few hundred times and see how I go.... (more fun lifting that than 175kg stones... )

I can hardly lift the 135kg stone now
...lifting peoples spirits is about as good as I can manage these days
