With exercises that need a firm grip… such as back or biceps exercises… I always get an enormous pump in my forearms. Much more than any other pump I have in the rest of my body.
They get hard, extremely hard, like hard as a rock. This hurts so much I sometimes have to quit biceps and back training early.
Can the pump itself cause this pain and how? And what can I do about it?
I tried some ibuprofen but that doesn’t seem to stop the pain, so it’s apparently not the muscle itself that is hurting, since ibuprofen work really well for me when it comes to muscle pain.
I tried resting more between sets but that doesn’t do much either and I can’t rest 15’ between every set. I can lower weight but then I leave my back quite untrained.
And usualy after training is over and the swelling goes away… I get painfull wrists.
Can anyone help?
