Why do you neglect forearms?

[Thaibox]

Spatts, both my old Ju-jitsu and Kali instructors used to make us do those. They burned pretty damn bad after a while

No straps &:

After back, I do three sets of regular and reverse wrist curls. I superset them and do a drop set for each at the end.

I'm not big by any stretch of the imagination, but I have heard "Popeye" arms a couple times (I wear loose tees so you usually can't see my upper arms, especially as I'm sitting and working my forearms which is when they really pop out).

All you guys/gals that say you never use straps, does this include doing heavy shrugs as well?

yep, that's right no straps. I never work forearms directly since I do heavy deads, cleans, rows, and shrugs. I have never had aproblem since I decided no to use straps last years thanks to some members on the boards

Well...I guess. I don't do shrugs though...

Yep. The only time I would use straps was when I finished up shrugs with a set of 12-15 reps. At that point, the weight was moderately heavy, but my grip was shot from the previous sets (at least as far as any endurance goes).
