Given the information provided, here's a tailored workout plan to target your forearm muscles, focusing on strength and grip strength:
Workout Plan: Frequency: 3 times a week (preferably on non-consecutive days to allow for muscle recovery)
Duration: 20 minutes per session
Warm-Up (5 minutes) Arm circles: 1 minute Wrist circles: 1 minute Light static stretching focusing on the wrist and elbow joint: 3 minutes Forearm Workout (15 minutes) Exercise 1: Barbell Wrist Curls

Sets: 3 Distance: 40-50 feet Rest: 1-2 minutes between sets Exercise 4: Deadlifts (as you enjoy deadlifts)
Sets: 3 Reps: 8-10 Rest: 2 minutes between sets Notes: For the wrist curls and reverse wrist curls, choose a weight that allows you to complete the given reps with good form but is challenging towards the last few reps. During the farmer’s walk, ensure to grip the barbell/dumbbells tightly to engage the forearms. Ensure to grip the bar tightly during deadlifts as well to engage the forearms. Progression: Increase the weight incrementally as you progress week by week to ensure progressive overload, which is crucial for strength gains. You can also increase the distance of the farmer’s walk as your grip strength improves. Additional Tips: Maintain a nutritious diet to support muscle growth and recovery. Stay hydrated and ensure you are getting 7-9 hours of sleep for optimal recovery. Consider watching Athlean-X videos related to forearm training for more tips and techniques.
