Forearm Pain

[Thors_Hammer]

Hey guys so I get a super sharp pain in the middle of my right forearm when I do curls with anyone over like 25 lbs per arm.
I've tried so many things in regards to form, speed, range even different movements (incline, preacher, hammer, barbell ECT)

It feels like shin splints and I feel it when in the flexed position until I put it down. Once it's put down I fades after a few seconds.
I've had to come and go since highschool (so about 10+ years)

It's litteraly dead center of forearm

And it's happened both on and off cycle.

Just sounds like tendinitis to me. I get that in my elbows sometimes. I’ve had it in my forearm, on the inside of the arm, a little closer to my wrists.

I would get gloves that wrap around your wrist and keeps your hand supported when lifting the weights, so some of that pressure is taken off of your forearm.

Avoid anything that makes it hurt. I’m saying that but today I was benching heavy with my fucked up shoulder, knowing I will pay for it for the next week. Gotta do what you can.

Hi,

I have had this exact issue, and I got rid of it entirely by stretching. It took me about 2-months of regular stretching to fix it, but I have never had this issue again after I did that religiously. This video pretty much sums up what you need. I did not do more than 30-seconds of each stretch but did them 7-days per week no matter what.

Totally agree on this

I'll definitely look into the gloves, thanks!

Definitely want to try this the next time I can, my thing is I only know so much about all AAS and the accessory compounds so I definitely am looking to get a coach in the near future. Just getting finances in order

That's my assumption but I don't know how to pinpoint it since there is other muscles there.

I have/had the same issue. Def like mentioned above, tendinitis. Lay off the curls. Pull ups also aggravated tf out of it for me also..

I promise it only gets worse. We all work around our injuries but this is one that really fucked me over.

use straps for all pulling exercises until the pain is gone.
use wraps for all pushing exercises until the pain is gone.
stretch. and stretch. and massage. and use trigger point or active release therapy. and stretch some more.

and lay off of any exercise that hurts.

It's common to get inflammation there. Pinpointing it is hard as the pain radiates. Like guys already said, avoid anything that hurts. Also go out a buy a cheap wrap around velcro strap and wear it. About an inch wide and simply wraps around with velcro. You don't need high dollar fancy ones. It helps keep vibrations from constantly irritating it and continuing the inflammation thus slowing down healing. Also look into BPC-157 or TB-500 as well.

Isnt HGH good for this kind of thing too?

Not so much for localized inflammation. Overall inflammation reduction yes (think CRP values) as well as tendon and ligament healing.

Good thread, I concur.
Avoidance/rest it by working around forearm tension exercises.
Use straps to offset indirect ecercise tension.
Stretch gently, as that can exacerbate it too depending on severity.
Take a few anti-inflammatories prn.
Gently massage to increase blood flow/healing.
