How do you build up your wrists/forearms?

If you want to gain weight, do Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. Eat a lot. The cleaner you eat (meat, fish, eggs (especially the yolk!), nuts,seeds, vegetables, some fruit, little starch and no sugar) the better kind of weight you will gain (ie. less fat). Do the workouts and no more (3 days(Mon,Wed,Fri) a week for about an hour). You will gain weight evenly all over and it will be the right kind of weight. For you to grow all over you need to do the compound lifts like deadlift and squat - they elicit the neuroendocrine response like no other lifts can. They are part of the Starting Strength program. After 3 weeks you can probably add a short metabolic conditioning style of workout (crossfit) on the Saturday.
Read the book - follow the program. You need the book, because the describe the lifts in fantastic detail, so that you are doing them properly and not creating muscle imbalances (like only squatting to partial depth). This will only lead to injury. Squatting to proper depth is great for the knees and will strengthen everything.
