it seems you have a very poor concept of body mechanics, how a body works and what each muscle or muscle group is designed to do.

as the guy above me said. your forearms are there for nothing more than grip and curling your hands/fist. nothing else. you just can't argue that fact. its not my opinion or something that can be debated.
correct! pushups don't do dick for your forearms.

if you want to buildup your forearms you perform the following exercises:

Dumbbell Wrist Curls (overhand and reverse grip)
Barbell Wrist Curls (with arms in front, behind, and even with forearms on a bench and curling your wrist with both an overhand and/or underhand grip)
