I moved up huge in chest press after I started working forearms. One of the football players at my university suggested it and he was bang on. He had 3 simple exercises:

Tricep pull downs. Use reverse grip, keep your thumb on the same side as your fingers.
Bicep curls. Use reverse grip, keep your thumb on the same side as your fingers.
Standing hold with dumbbells. Like should shrugs, yet just standing holding the weight at your side until failure.

The reason for the reserve grip and thumb on same side is to put all the emphasis on the grip, no cheating using your thumb or palm as leverage. I like to do these exercises quickly and super set them.

You're bang on with the hammer here. Did flat DB bench today and my forearms gave out on the third set before any other muscle. Ive always had the notion before that my forearms would naturally catchup with my other muscles so attention was never paid to them. Big mistake!! going for Popeye's forearms now

I will give you the $5 only if it goes towards removing that paintjob from your C
