Forearm Pains When Working Out

[Dr. Jones]

didn't read this thread .. but most pain is due to a lack of water.

Also, with the forearms, it seems most people over-lift and do not realize how underused the forearms arms.

I'm thinking that is what my problem is. I have increased weight in every area, but I never took time to increase my forearm strength. I guess the weight I'm doing in other areas is now taxing on my forearms because they aren't developed enough to handle the strain. I always assumed my forearms would just strengthen as a bi-product of other workouts, but I guess not.

I think I have a very similar problem to you. I'm pretty sure it's a stress fracture, but going to the doctor just hasn't made enough sense to do, all things considered ($, not serious).

I seriously miss lifting, though.

Do you have diarreah too? And bad breath?

Could be ur diet.

I ended giving it about 2 weeks off and have been in the gym the last couple of days. 0 pain and lifting a lot more than I have been able to the past month.

Awesome news man. Keep it up.










/I still think it was from jacking off too much.

My jacking technique uses more bicep muscle than forearm.

Stop jerkin the gherkin.

J.k Cy, all laughs over here.

You're welcome.

I find it quite disturbing hearing this and then seeing your avatar image. <cold chills>
I bet you found Thriller's hammer curl pictures helpful in your endeavors though.

I lift regularly and never had those issues. But since going much heavier it has become an issue. Not heavy weights but heavy weights for long periods of time (4+ reps) is what I think does it.

It's just your body telling you where you are weak. It'll go away. But in the meantime I supplement and use braces or else tape. It's either that stop for awhile or else go lighter.

Actually he should start jerkin it more, gain some strength and stamina in that forearm.
