lower arms

Between elbows and hands

Lower arms refers to the section of the arms between the elbow and wrist, also called the forearms.

The term appears most often in anatomical, fitness, or medical contexts where precision about body parts matters.

Physical therapists recommend specific exercises to strengthen the lower arms.

In weightlifting, developing the lower arms improves grip strength and overall arm definition.
