    I wonder if you could actually train in a way where you'd get Popeye muscles

    • That is, totally swole underarmsjagara
    • Nope. Not naturally, anyway.Continuity
    • Professional climbers tend to had disproportionate forearms. Eg https://static.wixst…Morning_star
    • However, how you train just the forearms rather than upper arms would be a challenge.Morning_star
    • and how do you get your chin to look like a butt?CyBrainX
    • That's a secret, and I'm not telling you.Continuity
    • not with all the spinach in the multiverse..neverscared
    • I rode bmx for well over a decade, and I have residual Popeye arms from all of the hopping and whatnot.garbage
    • So I would suggest front facing curls? They put much more stress on the underside of your forearm, whatever that's called.garbage
    • You mean pronated (aka reverse) barbell or EX-Curl bar curls? They tend to work the brachioradialis, which is the most prominent forearm muscle on the right ...Continuity
    • ... and the brachialis, to some degree. The underside of the forarms, not so much. Wrist curls will do that, though.Continuity
    • *on the exterior of your forearmContinuity
    • Start with supplements to get things moving: https://www.hollanda…Wolfboy
    • Yeah, that's the ticket or close to it. It depends on the mechanics of your hop. I'm pretty tall so because of my wingspan I have to use a bit more of my arm.garbage
    • But also longer legs make for a taller pop. I had a friend who was an absolute ripper, but he was maybe 5'6"? Dude's arms were working harder..garbage
    • He had legit Popeyes, it was hilarious.garbage
