Does any one know an exercise that trains the forearm closer to the wrist, like lower forearm if that makes sense.

You mean around the area you'd wear a watch? No theres not really anything, but regardless, why would you want to train this area, having this area small makes the rest of your forearm look bigger.

Word.........

not you wrist alittle higher but I see what your saying

[StayBig]

Word. I was gonna say it first but gumby said it. But if you have a weak little wrist like me, than maybe you should do some exercises. My favorite for my forearms and my wrists would be to take a bar, drill a hole through the middle, put a rope through it and tie down some weights on the other side of the rope. Then hold up the bar with your shoulders and start curling that weight all the way up until it reaches the bar. Do this for two to three sets. You'll feel it in the morning, and it will help a lot. I promise.

What's farmers walk bro? Are you just joking?

[Ironslave]

Farmers walk is when you take a weight, usually a trap bar or dumbells and walk holding them.

[StayBig]

What do you mean by a trap bar, like an ez bar? So you are just holding heavy dumbbells and walking around with them to break down your forearm fibers? So just like picking up 180lb. db's off the rack and walking around the gym with them?

[Mr. Castro]

Buy a hand gripper or you can get dumbbells and rotate your hands in a up and down form (bend it back and forward), not side to side. I use dumbbells

[julio40]

buy a rubber ball the one kids use to play baseball and cut it in half and use it like a griper. its better and is cheap.

I made up my own forearm exercise that leaves my entire forearms pumped, wrist to elbow all around. Instead of doing reverse dumbell wrist curls or regular dumbell wrist curls while I'm sitting down, I twist my wrists back and forth. Light weight, 4 sets of 25 reps in a slow, smooth controlled motion. The pump I get from that is like nothing I've ever felt before. I feel like Popeye when I'm done.

When I trained at home I did this but I would stand on a chair and have the bar at waist level. Best exercise there is for forearms I think.

IMO deadlifts without straps, farmers walks and grippers will do very little for that area of the forearm. That's not to say that they're not useful.

Direct wrist work is more important, so things like wrist rollers (as mentioned), wrist curls - seated and standing, reverse wrist curls, plate curls, plate wrist curls, and all forms of levering (working ulnar and radial deviation).

For plate curls just pick up the plate from the top, and curl it keeping the wrist straight. Levering can be done with a sledge hammer, dumbbell loaded on one side, or whatever you want to use.
