[slimbad]

hi im getting alot of forearm pain,, im sure its from training my bi's, i use a curling bar, i find this gives me the best pump, but now when i use dumbell it still hurts, is there anyone one that can tell me how to train my bi's but without getting the pain, or anything that i can do to ease the pain, i dont realy want to just rest it cause im on my 8th week of my cycle.. help:

I got the type of pain you describe years ago when using a straight bar for standing curls and an EZ bar for preacher curls. I fixed it by first taking a week off from the gym (I've taken a week off before during a cycle when I have a nagging pain and it does seem to help), then when I went back I did not use the straight bar (only the EZ bar or EZ bar attachment for cables) and did not use the preacher bench (only standing). Of course, I still used dumbbells and threw in preacher curls and straight bar curls every now and then after the pain was gone.

thats what im using the ez bar standing and i still get the pain, i dont use stight bar its no good on my wrist, maybe i will just have to use a lighter weight,, i hate going to the gym and not working my bi's, i have a thing like if i rest for a week i will think and it will look like to me that i have lost loads of mass and shape,, lol i cant win.

I'm like that too lol. I think everybody on this board is probably like that though. Now that I think about it, there is one more thing that I did in my routine that stopped the forearm pain....I started wearing gloves that had wrist wraps on them. I never thought about it before, but since Willy brought up carpal tunnel it makes me wonder.

carpel tunnel syndrome can be caused by a change in hormones, im sure around here ppl are regularly "playing" with there hormones, thats why forearm issues come up alot

in theory!^!

Maybe you're overtraining your bi's / forearms. Try doing compound exercises for awhile and don't do the isolation for your bi's. Sounds like a strain to me, give it time to heal.

True! hGH is well known for this when taken in larger doses and/or extended periods of time.
