the pain shot into my wrist. i threw the bar down, and i couldn't move my wrist up or down without some pretty bad pain, so i stopped training biceps, took a few days off and the condition has no gotten better...the pain is hard to explain, its not like lactic acid soreness, its not like a muscle tear, the only way i could explain it is like a nerve pain, like i damaged a nerve in my wrist and its running throughout my forearm into my elbow, carpal tunnel?
This sounds really familiar bro. I had a similar experience last year when I was working my biceps with the barbells. I kept curling and all the sudden there was this terrible pain on my wrists and I shouldn't even hold the bar up anymore. It really scared the shit out of me, so I layed off the biceps for a week. I went back, but the pain never went away. When I worked my chest I would have to stop sometimes because my wrists simply were killing me. Same thing with shoulders... It has nothing to do with form either, because I know I wasn't using the wrong form on it. The pain persisted through the entire year and still causes me probelms today. I had a similiar pain when I type and even use the mouse. I ended up going to comp usa and buying the mouse with the gel cushion for the wrist and a gel bar for the keyboard... It really helps alot. Also, when you feel the pain creep up, just lay off, otherwise you WILL regret it. Usually when it hurts, I like to push harder, but this particular pain is REALLY weird. It feels like your wrist is just in pain, no matter what you do with it. There aren't any muscles around the area either, so I have no idea whats wrong. I suspect its carpal tunnel though.
