Whenever I do curls, my forearms begin to hurt and eventually fail, well before my biceps do, unless I do a ton of low-weight reps. Anyone else have that problem?

Popeye would be ashamed

Don't do isolation workouts too often. But if you really insist on curls and have this problem then reduce weight and work up towards heavier weights.

Honestly, this shouldn't be a major issue if you use dumbbells and supinate or use a preacher curl bar. A plain straight barbell will rape your wrists during curls.

Make or buy a wrist roller. Use it.

You can make one out of pvc pipe and 550 cord easily

I made mine out of a wooden closet hanger rod and some nylon rope. Works great. The larger diameter really works the grip too.

Really makes the forearms pop too. Once I started using it, people started saying I look ripped. Ha, I have a gut, but those forearms look great.

I use to and it felt like shin splints on my forearms (microfractures?). So I think it might be an issue of bone density if you are a beginner. In my case after a few years of preacher curl bars and focusing on compounds, I was able to go back to iso and can now do 60lb @165lb.

I don't neglect the compound lifts, and I always do them first in any workout, before I do any isolation stuff at all. I really enjoy curls, though. I usually start with heavier ones and then work my way down. Sometimes, I end up curling 50% of my 1RM and still end up with muscle failure. That way, I also target my biceps fully, without forearms getting in the way.

>>140375

No, I don't use the straight barbells for that. Either preacher curl bar or dumbbell.

Is that like some kind of home-cable machine? I don't know man, that sounds like big gay to me.

I trained so hard that my arms hurt when I stretch them out, punching at my punching bag sends a stinging pain into my forearm, and there's broken blood vessels on the surface of my biceps. My arm is also veiny as fuark. Is this the miraculous pump that Schwarzenegger told us about?

It's only gay if you stick it up your ass.

It's not a cable machine per se, you don't pull it, you roll your wrists (think rolling up a newspaper) and the cable wraps around the bar raising the weight. Start light, it will really work your wrists.

But I think I ruined my left biceps, it has sharp pains now and the fibers feel bigger and looser, kinda inflamed. I don't mind as long as it regenerates properly, I just wanna go back to curling as soon as possible.

Well kids, that's what whappens when after reaching muscle failure at 30% of your 1RM and still do assist curls. Assist curls, you say? Indeed, I was innovating on being a curlbro. On the plus side, my right arm shows veins I never knew I had. I could swear it also looks a bit bigger.

Pic unrelated, but spiritual as fuck.

>You did good, son.

Seriously though do some light work throughout the day to help recover. 10 lb curls or something, or tricep stuff like push ups. Get a strong hormonal state going from sprinting or similar like heavy high rep squats. GOMAD + Meat + Eggs + a shit ton of vita/mins and some ancient chinese herb. Drink some salt water, hotsauce and vinegar with a bunch of hot and pungent spices/herbs mixed in (my special mix). Black Pepper helps absorb nutrients up to 1000% better, so make sure that's in there too.

a really good way to make sure u have optimal muscle contraction is to do curls standing up against a wall, use lower weights, like 10 pounds and the strain will be put on just your biceps and your elbows wont be helping to aid you at all, you'll feel a much better burn

Curls with resistance bands, not dumbbells. When you reach failure, immediately do back-off sets before you lose your flow (that you would if you took the time to switch to lower weight dumbbells): half-curls to fail, then quarter-curls to fail. Better yet, switch to weaker resistance bands, or both.
