painful forearms

agitator Posts: 2 Joined: 2002/12/12	2002/12/13, 11:27 AM I've got painful foreams from lifting - on the underneath side on the outside of the arm. I do wrist curls but I suspect it may be from doing bicep curls with a single weighted bar. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong that would cause pain in this area?

If you answered yes, this is from to heavy weights, and give it a weeks rest, one of the symptoms of overtraining. It also comes from bad positioning of your wrists when doing the excersises. -------------- Nothing is too small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt! Ivan Montreal Canada
