Consistant forearm pain
The last few weeks I have been getting increased forearm pain. Sometimes hard to grip. My weights have been increasing but not to a level I feel that is to I shouldn't be able to handle. I stretch them a bit but find the stretching causes more pain. I usually wait 2 -3 days and it goes away but this throws of my routine. Any suggestions or ideas to help me work through this.

There are a number of remedies that might reduce the pain, but in most cases, time off and lifting lighter is the best course of therapy and recovery. You have to give your connective tissue time to grow stronger or you WILL injure yourself.

This makes sense as I started with ASS way to soon. I am just coming up on 1 year of disciplined training and only a few months of a more disciplined diet. I started with some terrible advice from a local "dealer". I have put the ASS on the shelf until I get my diet at a superb level and develop more mature muscles. I feel I have made such great gains since the end of cycle and I am now lifting more intense then when I was pinning but I need to re-evaluate what I am doing.
Thanks!

Foam rolling is a miracle worker. Or if you don't want to look like a tard-o at the gym rolling your forearms buy a lacrosse ball and do it on your table at home.

is it in the muscle, tendon, or cartiladge?
I have tendonitus in both elbows which flares up when I train back or bis/forearms
Rest, Ice, compression, Elevation (RICE) is the only thing that works for tendonitus. or surgeryLast edited by Hydrokracker; 06-11-2013 at 06:27 AM. Reason: sp

Try msm crystals. Buy em pretty much anywhere n cheap as hell. Like. Really cheap. Take 5g's a day for life. You'll notice a difference within 1.5-2months. Take it myself for rotator cuff pain.
Note. This assists in the repair of certain tissues n is not a painkiller. I have tramadol. (Nuproxen and amoxicillan) for inflammation. Massage the area regularly to increase blood flow several times a day thus again increasing the rate of repair. I simply can't lay off they gym. But that's me. Take a lil break. Use straps to assist on pulling exercises (I am personally against straps as I think this just leaves u weaker than before). But they may give ur forearms a break.
Oh. N I'd advise against my painkillers n antiinflammatories. Ur better off trying the msm crystals alone first.

Like Major Pec said, MSM works well. Try icing for 30 minutes after training sessions. Lately I've also been using straps for all pulling and pressing movements. Most people might shit on that, but it really helps with grip strength which if you're having forearm pain is probably an issue.

Great, I will try these crystals. I am going to try and avoid the straps as I feel more natural without them but I may have to if I see no improvement in the future. Pain killers I will avoid unless completely necessary...I just get frustrated when extra rest gets in the way of my motivation.

I mean usually when doing free weight movements, especially heavier pressing or pulling movements, gripping the bar hard is ideal. If you're having forearm trouble, using straps on these movements can help you maintain that strong grip while taking some of the pressure off of your forearms. I just recommend this because it's a technique that I've been using recently, as I have the same problem, and my forearms don't seem to be as stiff or in the same amount of pain since I started doing this.

At the risk of opening up a can of worms... Would (not wood) one of those wand type vibrating massagers applied to the forearm (or any MUSCLE/TENDON problem area) be of value? Would it help to loosen up any scar tissue and help bring in additional circualtion? Or would it do more harm than good? Ok, hit me with your best shot BUT also leave a serious comment too!

Most times it's simple overuse from things like a keyboard. Lifting can cause it to get even more agrivated. Look up good forearm stretches. And lay off things that cause your forearms stressed

staps can be a best friend if utilized properly... for instance, I use them on my hamstring days during exercises such as deadlifts. I am not trying to build grip strength, I am training my hamstrings.

Here is a real simple one.
Make sure when doing exercises like curls you keep your wrist straight...that is do not curl the wrist as you would when you do a forearm curl. This will make a night and day difference for most.
