Forearm Problems! help!
So I went in today to do back and biceps and I do machine rows first with 275lbs and it feels just fine… then all the sudden I do EZ-curl standing curls and my forearms start getting sharp pains through them.. and I still have them as I’m typing right now.. My forearms have been hurting off and on for about 3 weeks since I did a hardcore bicep/tricep workout..
Should I just wrap my forearms now? ( lol! ) every time I’m doing back/biceps and everything else that uses forearms? I have no idea what to do here, and I really don’t want to impede my progress and have to take 2-4 weeks off when it may just come back again.. any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

i was reading your complaints about your forearms and I sometimes get a little bit "tweaked" as well in the elbow tendon and forearms but not very much and it usually goes away quickly.
How long are you waiting between sets? Maybe your not getting enough blood into those muscles quick enough? You should wait around 3 minutes between sets to allow for enough blood to engorge the muscle tissue.
If that doesn’t work of course you could always try lighter weights to prevent atrophy just to troubleshoot why the pain is occuring.
