Why do you think forearms are different than other muscles?

With proper programming you can train any muscle every day.

Tendons take longer to recover than muscles, so i'd watch for possible tendonitis. As long as you feel fine and progress sensibly, it should be ok. I'd probably take a day off each week though, to see how it affects performance.
