i can no longer do seated preecher curls or any preacher curl for that matter. it feels like i am getting shin splints in my fucking forearm. I hate it. i can alternate and do PLENTY of other exercises, but Whoa this is not suppose to happen.,
How do i get around this. I want to be able to curl again. sniffle.

HELP from the vets and karma to all. lol

I’ve experienced the same thing. From best I can tell it comes from your biceps developing faster than your forearms. It feels exactly like shin splints in your forearms and if you continue to do the same curls the pain will last longer after each workout. For me I had to switch from using the curl bench, to doing seated or standing hammer curls. The strain on the wrist and forearm is less and I could do that without causing any pain. Also you might want to add a forearm exercise into your work out, such as dumbbell wrist curls, I did and it helps Be careful with this injury as it takes a long time to heal. I no longer experience pain form normal day to day activities, but even now after doing a few reps of 85 on the bench the pain begins to come back. So take it slowly. My workout now consists of mainly hammer curls and low weight reps on the bench. Hope this helps.

Dumbell wrist curls and reverse wrist curls can help with the forarm. I do em alternating, high reps. Don't know if they are in your routine already or not.

And a 2nd to leex on the hammer curls. Good for reducing that strain.

doing preachers can impinge on your ulner nerve. it runs from the elbow down to your pinky/ring fingers. hurts like hell, had it before. time was the only help. (can't very well put the weights down, now can we?) i did use these little wrap things for the forearm. they're kinda like the ones for shin splints. they took some pressure off, but not much.

same here, just starting happening a day or two ago

Just an FYT for injuries in general. Don't push the issue. Find some other movement to work the muscle in pain. If you continue to test it, it will go from a temporary condition to a chronic one.

I like standing barbell curls with an EZ curl bar.

My technique - use a relatively light weight, keep reps 15-20 elbows pinned at your sides,
***Use extemely strict form for both the up curl and most importantly - lowering back to the start.
About 3 seconds to curl up, 5 to lower
***Keep a constant tension on the bicep and "feel" the entire movement up and down.

5-6 sets and my bi's are pumped to the point I can barely straighten my arm anymore.

awesome guys i apppreciate the help. i have been doing hammer curls also in my routine but the problem now is how to a target the inner bicept, hammer culrs realy only get the outside muscle to give it that round shape horizintaly when your fingers are popinted to the ground. i want to do some time of preacher curl to target the roundness from elbow to shoudler if you get what i am saying? i thought it had somethign to do with my cycle. lol. i dont know.

go wider on your grip with barbell curls, that help to get the inside of your bi's

also include DB curls. make sure to use supination. (bring the weight up and twist your wrist as far as it can go.
