What is the cause of my forearm pain during weight lifting?
Its probably because you are using a barbell (http://www.nku.edu/%7Eissues/weightlifti... to do curls. Just use an EZ bar instead, here are some pics: http://www.robbinssports.com/sporting-go... http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/wp-conten... (ez bar on left, barbell on right) Thats what it is 9 out of 10 times. Some people's wrists just can't take a strait bar. Also use an EZ bar attachment if your going to do cable curls and not the strait bar attachment. I will also give you some links to some more information, I have not read all the information, so some of it might be relevant, some of it might not be. Let me know if this solves your problem or not, but either way, YOU NEED TO TAKE A FEW DAYS OR A WEEK OFF UNTIL THE PAIN COMPLETELY GOES AWAY BEFORE YOU GO BACK TO THE GYM! http://forum.lowcarber.org/archive/index.php/t-66047.html http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=611654 http://forum.bodybuilding.com/archive/index.php?t-114493541.html
My forearms hurt when weight lifting...?
I've been weight lifting for about 2 months now. About 2 weeks ago, my right forearm started to hurt a little while I did my barbell curls. I didn't pay much attention to it because it was only a minor pain...and it only "stung" as i released the bar from my grip. However...today when I was working out in the gym...BOTH my forearms began to hurt...with special pain in my right forearm. It's not like...unbearable pain. It's just an annoying sting that makes me want to stop for the day. I've noticed it only hurts when my forearms are stressed. Like...there comes a point after weight lifting for like 10 mins that my forearms tense up due to the blood rushing to the muscles. But right now, for example, as I sit in my couch after having showered and chilled for a while, they are only slightly sore. Should I go get my forearm(s) looked at?
Groin/inner thigh pain from weight lifting?
Caitlin..Alright this is the deal. Your inner Quadriceps or groin muscles are cooked. You've done more wide legged squats in your routine since you've been training. The thing is that your muscle strength on your exterior quads outweigh what your inners can handle. You are cramping because your not getting enough liquids as well as working those groins to death. My suggestion is to do some burn out closed legged squats with say 2/3 your average working weight if pyramiding or just your warm up weight until they can join the crowd so to speak with your outer quads. Hope this helps and good luck to ya!
My forearm hurts while lifting?
I've been working out for two months now and recently while trying to lift heavier weights my forearms hurt. It's not just during curling movements, it happens even if I try to grip heavy weights for dumbbell chest presses and even during shrugs to the point I just can't hold the dumbbell. I don't think it's an injury. My forearms actually become pumped and stiff during these periods and it stops hurting after a few minutes of letting go of the weight. This sucks because I know I have to lift heavy to get bigger.
Deadlift/Lunge... painful for forearms?
If you're new to weight lifting (or even just deadlifts/lunges) that is completely normal. Your muscles will balance out, as will your neurological response to the exercise. It's normal to "feel it" in weird places that an exercise wasn't specifically meant for ...by the way, that's also why lifting free weights is better for you than exclusively using machines to isolate muscles. Your forearms will get used to the weight and balance out under normal circumstances. However, if it's really bothering you, the most important thing is to remember while you're lunging/doing deadlifts not to grip the weights in your hand harder than is necessary -- it sounds like you may have a tendency to grip your ring and or pinkie finger tightly on the weight, which will quickly make your inner forearms burn fast and run out of the stamina to get through a workout of larger muscle groups. So...try to be aware of your stance and hold on to the weights lightly while thinking about hte muscles you're trying to work and just know that it's just as effective to rest them on your shoulders and grip them just enough to keep them from rolling off. I hope this helps you! :) .
