good with physics, not so with grammar Member 900, 2544 posts SQ 300, BP 220, DL 350 870.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 15.11.2016 @ 13:51 PM by good4gains I've started too get a really horrible dull ache in both arms mainly when in bench pressing or doing over head press , I also got it the other day when I was squatting too, it's fine on pulling days though. Both of my arms flare up and it's like I can't even lift anything , my grip weakens and I feel like I've got two dead arms , feels like a weird pain in my forearm , bicep and lower tricep , it's effecting my pressing when I go heavy , does anyone know what it could be or why it's happening ?

Lovely ass Congrats. Member 5958, 2315 posts SQ 280, BP 170, DL 300 750.0 kgs @ 138kgs UnEq	could it be a bit of tendonitus?

I recommend the track - Slut Machine Member 6043, 955 posts SQ 350, BP 195, DL 350 895.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq	I haven't got time atm for a long reply but I'm guessing you squat low bar in which case this is quite common. Infraspinatus is likely your problem. I use a lacrosse ball to release both infraspinatus and delt/longhead tie in areas everytime before I bench or squat and I'm now pain free every session. I'll reply better when I can.

Member 3241, 2043 posts SQ 1, BP 192, DL 255 448.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq	Agree with the infraspinatus comment, but could also be the supraspinatus being a bit niggled and a nerve impingement... Could maybe an impingement of your ulna nerve too which could give you numbness in your hands; that'd be more inline with a C5/C6 niggle, so a visit to an osteo would be in order, probably worth visiting a sports physio as well! I've suffered and still suffer with all the above, its a sod at times and also means I don't back-squat heavy any more due to the issues I have with my C5/C6!
