Heavy barbell curls kill my wrist/forearms about a month in. I use dumbells instead and it really helps...

stop ur chronic masterbation problem and u should be fine.

Yea V Id say also that its the 180# barbell curls.
I sometimes get that way to where it feels like it just hurts to the bone, Mainly after the set when letting go. goodluck

I would say from bb curls are you using straight or easy bar ? they both hurt me at the time I am doing it and strangely enough the begging light set usually hurts 10 x more than the heavy set

I would use ice after lifting, or whenever they bother you, and aspirin if there is swelling or inflammation.

Its for sure the straight bar bro.. it puts your forearms at a unusual position... especially with allot of heavy resistance.
I actually went to the Dr because of the same thing about 3 years ago.
The best thing to do is do heavy dumbell curls till the pain stops then just use the ezcurl bar. Its made just for this problem. The bend in the bar is there to give your forearms the correct angle when curling.
Anyway... thats what i did and it worked.
Good luck

Affirmative,its the straightbar curling.
I got that same problems years ago...
Try EZ-Bar or Lighten the weight.

ice, massage, routine change

I had the same prob recently and switched over to dumbbells and iced down my forearms after intense workouts for 20-30 min. Also get a deep tissue massage 1x/week. hope this helps

My suggestion... watch your form very carefully. When you raise the bar, do not bring it up to the 90deg or past the 90deg...this puts undo stress on your forearms. Let me guess....the pain is from the back side of the elbo running down the bone strongest pain located approx in the middle between the elbo and wrist.
Most people lean into the dumbell curls...so they don't have this problem... if you're standing straight up and not leaning into the barbell curl (like many do), you'll get to close to the 90deg where stress on the bicep is transfered to the back of the forearm to support the weight.

Let me know if this works.

hmmm I was thinking about that and remembered a cool product I bought. It looks like a simple cooler that you'd put beer in, has a pump, tubing running in and out and a pad that chilled water runs through. You fill it up with ice to the line, add the water, turn on the pump... and woo hoo! you can put that pad anywhere and it keeps chilled water on the effected area, as cold as ice.

Treat it as tendonitis as this is what your situation stems from. Art therapy, some ice and massage and you'll be good. Maybe some time away from the straight bar. I know it sucks as that is my favorite bicep movement, but you'll be good.

I use to have the same problem when heavy curling with the straight bar. In my case the twisting motion of my forearms was causing the pain if I held my gripe tight throughout the movement.
I took 4 weeks of of heavy bicep work and temp quit the straight bar curls to heal up.
When I started back I changed my grip style so that at the bottom part of the movement I primarily hold the bar with my fingers and not a closed hand. As I begin to curl upward I tighten my grip but only hold the bar as tight as necessary (you don't need to squeeze the shit out of it) and as I break parallel to I begin releasing my grip as much as possible. As my arms move to the upright position I release my grip to the point that the bar is just resting in the meaty part of my hand between the thumb and index finger at the top. this keeps my forearm from twisting and has eliminated my pain.

How do your forarms move with a straight bar? There very little room for movement if any at all. I'd always squeeze the shit out of the bar especially at the top. Without being able to supinate your wrist it still felt like it was doing some work within the forarms.
