How do you add serious mass to forearms?

They are muscles... you train them like any other muscle that is lagging. Hit it hard, heavy, and often.

I really think that you have to work them every other day. I knew a guy that was a body man and mechanic, he never touched a weight but had huge forearms. Grab a screw driver and put in about 50 screws in a wooden plank, tell me how your old forearms feel after that, they will be on fire. It all comes down to function, if you use the muscle the way it was designed to, it will respond. IMO

My father is an optician, aka makes eyeglasses, and all day, every day, he's holding wet lenses up against a grinding wheel, and using his hands to do work. He's got Popeye forearms.

Yup like carpenters swinging larger hammers to sink nails with one hit. Massive forearms.

Agree a 100%. I worked really hard for calves & still don't have much there, but I never work my forearms & they grow way faster than my bi's or tri's do. Reverse grip ez-bar curls are another good one.

So does whacking off and alternating sides count?? 
Seriously I do wrist rollers using weights while elevated on a flat bench using bar on smith machine then do reverse curls using ez curl bar, then do same on cable preacher bar then do wrist curls both under and over hand using dumbells.
I believe anytime you grasp a bar, yr activating FA's, that muscle is dense and thick, like calves. I only do abt 6 sets or so several times a wk
