I have two separate questions based on both of my forearms.
My left has been aching pretty bad the past couple days. Right along the outside, I believe its the wrist flexors or forearm flexors. Was hurting a month or so ago, but it went away. Hurts on my curl days. Here's my workout: (keep in mind I'm a small guy, not doing much weight)
Chin-ups, on one of those total gyms, glide board level 9 and 10
Seated Rows (total gym again) board level 9. (Took these out of the workout for a month or so)
Lat raises, 10-20lbs
Close Grip curls, 50lbs(x10), 55(8), 60(7), 65(5), 70(2)
Dumbbell curls 15-25lbs (8-10 reps)
Is it the rows that's hurting me (forearms get tired during them) or am I forcing too much weight on the curls? It hurts went I rack the weight after doing curls, lifting stuff doesn't hurt (moved a dresser tonight, didn't hurt while moving, hurt when I set it down.)
I'm going to take some time off, keep it wrapped, question is how much time and whats hurting me/how to prevent it? How should I work my back if I leave the rows out?
My right forearm was sliced open back in '03. Got half a numb hand, chopped thru the Ulnar, nerves, one artery. Not sure if that arm is weaker or if it's getting tired quicker than the left...I can do more weight/reps with the left every time. My spotter notices that sometimes my left arm goes up quicker and easier when benching, just wondering what the best way was to even them out or help my bad hand. Was doing the single arm curls the other day and have a heck of a time even holding onto the dumbbell after awhile with my right hand.
Thanks a ton for any help.
