For those who get horrible wrist pain when curling...

[lincoln]

I have always had this problem, my doc said it was from underdeveloped muscles in my forearms so I did tons of wrist work.

Didnt help, at all.

A guru at my gym said it was from overusing my forearms, I thought immediately this was BS cause there are many guys that workout twice as hard as me.

Years went by and all I could do was suck it up.

If anyone reading this gets an incredible pain when they open there hands after curling, similar to lightning bolts shooting up your arms, then I found something that might help.

After I am done curling I put the weight back on the rack and I do not open my hands for 20-30 seconds. Once the pain build up starts to go away I open my hands real slow. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN DOING IT THIS WAY. The longer you wait the less pain.

Try it out maybe it will help, every ones body is different by I know I am not the only one who has this condition.

I hope this helps someone out.

Thanx bro I will give that a try... but what would you suggest for pain while doing the curls themselves?

I've been dealing w/that pain for years, I'll give it a shot. Karma to you and more if it helps. Thanks!

I'm in the same boat, a jar of ice gel a week. Need a better solution. So bump.

The pain I got in my forearms while on dbol was ridiculous. It hurt SO fuckin bad I could barely do curls. Now that I'm off it's fine.

when I do preacher curls, the bottom of my forearms (the under-part of the arm closest to the ground when curling an EZ bar) KILL. I just suck it up, but the pain is intense, and I dont know what to attricute it to. could this be related?

I get that awful pain too. Its in my forearms but closer to my wrists. it hurts like a bitch when i do preacher curls! and once the curls are done it hurts also.

I get them pretty bad when doing straight bar curls.

I totally agree, I learnt that the hard way aswell. Instead of droping the weight and dying of pain. I rest the bar down, and slowly i mean real slowly, lol, open up my hands. The thing is, I dont get this all the time, and I'll re-cover what I said in an earlier post. I know the exact pain, it is well described as lightning bolts shooting up your arms. Well, I believe it to be an overuse injury and inflamation that just doesnt go away. I try to stay away from strenious activity on the wrists for a week in the gym, and the rest of a weekend, and the next week Im back to normal. Anti inflamatories might be of help aswell, such as Vioxx, etc.
