Pain In forearm when bicep curling

[VanchamarcH]

hi guys, every since i can remeber whenever i do bicep curls with my EZ curl bar , as soon as i finish the reps and put the bar down, i get a shooting pain in my left forearm, on the outside of the ar,, its almost like my wrist but not quite...it only hurts when i rest the bar though not when im lifting it, like the release hurts???
i dont think im lifting to much, as it doesnt hurt my right forearm and its a do-able weight (32kgs)

( it doesnt hurt on dumbbells on barbells 0

thanks guys

used to happen to me when i started lifting. Hated that **** so much bro. Well its cause your using to much weight and your forearms cant handle it. You can work out your forearms to get them stronger to do it if you want, thats what i did. or you can get an arm/wrist wrap thing.

Your getting it because you are hitting your forearm, rather than isolating your bicep. Try to use less wait and keep your elbows tucked while doing curls.

May be tendonitis. One thing that helped me when this happened to me is when you set the weight down, don't release your grip immediately, hold onto the bar for 5 or so seconds, and slowly let go.

thanks

yea I had that at one point, start off by lowering the weight that you normally do for about a week or 2. if that doesn't work i'd take sometime off from the gym or go to the doc

no. your forearms are exhausted. its one of the most neglected muscles that people do not work out. usually they start get this feeling from having a weak forearm.


start training your forearms. the pain comes from the front of your middle forearm i bet..

i had this problem when i first started i wraped my wrists with tape and the pain went away...

i get it too when i curl alot of weight

had this for a while with straight and ez bar, took a break pain kinda went away once i started working my forearms the pain almost completely subsided and i havent done any bar curl since, hammer curls are a good alt. I went to the doctor today actually because the pain moved to my wrist and like i researched i damaged my TFCC (triangular fibrocartilage complex) on the outside of my wrist. I have an MRI next week to see if a little bit of cartilage is just damaged or if i tore a tendon in my hand...i either have to get a cortisone injection or some arthroscopic surgery to fix the tendon. So listen to your body, if it hurts a lot now take a week or two off, switch to hammer curls, and then try out some bar curls again and see how it feels. Taping it tight may help also, and be sure you have good form and start working your forearms with some wrist curls or something.
