I am sure we have all suffered this at some point, but what causes it - finishing a set and knowing it is going to sting if you release the weight too soon, and usually feels like tendons. Is it anything to do with not training opposites enough - or is it just one of those things. Any answers?

From my experience this is from the sudden unloading of the tendon as you release the weight. It happens when we pull statics and just release the tension all at once, the trick is to slowly let the tension off before releasing your grip. Hope this helps.

I have suffered this for years. releasing slow reduces the sting but is still there. I suppose it's like slipping in a match and going to straps - thats just as bad. No miracle cure then - just an occupational hazard.

yo james ..is this when you are training side pressure

Hi Nick - No it is more training back pressure. Usually on the back of the wrist and from the bottom of the hand to half way towards the elbow. Hope that makes sense.

yo james had it in the elbow the odd time but never in the wrist or the forearm

Yes james, i get them so bad in the front of my forearm ! try not slipping out ! hold on tighter, haha

I'm not exactly sure what your talking about. Please explain, i get a lot of pains when training. Some through injury, some through repetition. The other types i enjoy.

hey james i get the same pain you do on my left ,only 3 or 4 times in the past ,i always think it feels like my bones bruised,when i get it i just cut all training out and it usually gets better,also i think wen i still have a bit of pain but have to keep training i try to have a better warm up than usual,a real pump,takes alot of pain away and helps recover...
