    The fitness links sticky thread at the top here has links to a number of specific training routines.

    I'm a lil busy so check through there first, and if you have any specific questions let us know.

    Also are you planning on training in a gym or at home etc?

    JAK.

    Ok thnx logic1,

    I did mean forearms.

    Can you use dumbells instead if a barbell as we dont have a barbell in my gym.

    Yeah sure you can use dumbells instead of barbells for most variations of exercises.

    For forearms one u can do at home is get a short piece of stick, 8 or 10 inches cut off a broom handle is ideal then tie thread around the middle and hang a light weight off it. The continually wind the thread with weight attached all the way up the stick and all the way back down using both hands and a rolling motion.

    Great for forearms.
