Fazc		Benching and Forearm Pain	20-11-2015 @ 17:27
Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts	Post Edited: 20.11.2015 @ 17:29 PM by Fazc Hello Sugdenites another question for you, Generally if something feels off when I'm Benching it's my forearms. Not the elbows but actually right in the forearm/brachialis. They'll feel weak, and almost feel like they're giving out. It's not something that always happens when I Bench heavy, but it usually happens when I've been Benching heavy for a while without a break. So what's causing this? How can I fix this? This happens with and without sleeves, Close or Wide. Wrists cocked back or straight. Or is it really just a case of when I need a break something has to give, and for me this is it rather than elbows or shoulders. This is not a massive issue right now, but it's a minor detail which I should really fix before it becomes something else.

Member 3241, 2043 posts SQ 1, BP 192, DL 255 448.0 kgs @ 136kgs UnEq	Agree with compression cuffs, but try not to wear them all the time I suffer from this issue as well, for me it's bursitis and unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do about it. However, I stepped away from the bench for a while, I was stuck at 180kg and couldn't get passed it, went over onto a lot of heavy dumbbell work and with the occasional floorpress set thrown in, I've since blown through the plateau You could go and see a decent osteo or sports physio, they'll be able to manipulate the area hell of a lot more than you can, it'll hurt like hell, but it'll be worth it!

Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts	Thanks for the input lads. It won't be low bar squats because I've only just switched to them today. Hammer curls and the like I can definitely do more of. I like advice of just stepping away from them for a while. I suspect and a friend also suggested it was probably just some overuse tendinitis which needs rest. This is probably true. Won't be benching again until Friday so we'll see then.
