Does FFR Give One Large Forearm Muscles?

Re: Does FFR Give One Large Forearm Muscles?

What about aesthetics? Does it atleast look good? ;[

Yeah man, those ladies love those massive anchor arms that look as though all you do all day is masturbate.

No, you won't get massive forearms from playing FFR. You'll obviously experience hypertrophy because you're using the muscle more, but only a little bit, and then it will stop growing. Playing FFR is an isotonic and aerobic(for the most part) exerise, but it's not one designed to build muscle mass. If anything it will make your forearms more defined, and it will definitely improve muscular endurance.

So, in short, you will not get Popeye arms from playing FFR! :P

I really did have much bigger forearm before when I played FFR onehanded. I also used to play a lot of SM onehanded. Now, I never play SM and I only rarely play FFR, and when I do play FFR, it's index.

Maybe the thing that makes for bigger forearm is 16th streams. A lot of onehanded players have trouble getting into that level of play, and that would explain why a lot of people playing onehanded would say it doesn't make a difference. If I play onehanded now, I can do mostly everything I used to be able to, except faster 16th streams. I used to be able to nearly A Quasar consistently, but now I can't even pass it. Logic would say that my forearm muscle being smaller is an indication that the muscle that was bigger was the one which is used for quick and repetitive alternating motion of the fingers.

Sorry, not to be rude, but you're dead wrong.

I used to have almost 0 protein intake (for a whole summer, my diet consisted chiefly of: 1 pack of ramen noodles every day), and I still gained muscle (this was during the time when I used to play SM and FFR a lot). Obviously, greater protein intake would result in more effective muscle mass growth (such as in weight lifting). Even so, a person does not need to take in LARGE amounts of protein to build muscle; it's just better if they do. Either way, I'm sure that the level of protein intake has little effect on such a relatively small muscle growth.

Re: Does FFR Give One Large Forearm Muscles?

It does seen like my right forearm is bigger than the other and i have noticed SOME growth while playing ffr before this thread came. so yes i think that it does. but sometimes it just causes carpel tunnel... (don't blame me if i butchered that word)

FFR and even normal computer interfacing does not cause carpal tunnel syndrome. All it does is make your CPS worse if you have it.

Re: Does FFR Give One Large Forearm Muscles?

Lmfao. I noticed that I got toner forearm muscles after a month of playing FFR at first. It doesn't look bad... you can just see the muscle on my forearm when you're looking at it at a certain angle. xD It's odd at times, but you get used to it.

Re: Does FFR Give One Large Forearm Muscles?

Haha...interesting thread.

As already stated, I don't think playing FFR/SM improves mass so much as it increases tone, definition, and endurance. That is, unless you're crazy (and silly) enough to attach weights to your individual fingers and then play the game.

Re: Does FFR Give One Large Forearm Muscles?

mine doesnt get bigger maybe cuz its my right arm and im left handed

Playing FFR makes your fingers more nimble.
That's all.

Re: Does FFR Give One Large Forearm Muscles?

I haven't played FFR enough to find out. XD
But I have learned that if you've never played before, playing the arcade version of DDRMax 2 does cause nervous breakdowns. XD

I believe you. I did state that forearms experience muscle growth(hypertrophy) from playing FFR. But they won't get "massive" which is the question the OP asked.

I think I mistakenly assumed The Count was talking general muscle growth through exercise. In that case, you need to take in at least 0.8g of protein per pound of body weight, or if you're weight training at least 1g protein/lb. body weight. I consider that to be a "high-protein diet".

But, if you don't exercise regularly, then no, you don't need a lot of protein. In that case protein should only consist of 15% of your daily caloric intake. That 15% is used for regular muscle maintenance. Forearms are a pretty simple muscle, and if that's the only muscle you exercise then no, you wouldn't need much more protein than what you normally take in.

As already stated, I don't think playing FFR/SM improves mass so much as it increases tone, definition, and endurance. That is, unless you're crazy (and silly) enough to attach weights to your individual fingers and then play the game.

100% right.

Re: Does FFR Give One Large Forearm Muscles?

You guys are totally wrong!

Ever since I started using the intarnets my forearm has gotten a huge boost in size. I'm sure it has nothing to do with my massive pr0n collection, it's totally all thanks to FFR!

Re: Does FFR Give One Large Forearm Muscles?

I personally haven't experienced any forarm growth. When I play massive amounts of FFR or SM all i get is really shaky. The only way to get biger forearms is to do some actual exercise specialized for the forarms. Also the day i started FFR and SM is when my arms muscles decreased in size because instead of real exercise all i did was sit in front of the computer and move my fingers.
