Putter elbow/forearm burn.

[Pineapples4Puss]

This is annoying as fuck. Any pull movements I do my left forearm/outside of elbow just burns and pulls no matter what kind of grip I use.

I’ve taken a week off of using biceps/pulls still nothing helps. It’s to the point where I don’t even want to train with it because it ruins 85% of my sets because I can’t even feel what I’m trying to work at this point.

It doesn’t hurt what so ever to press on/massage. Isn’t swollen. No bruising no injury that I know of.

Anyone have any ideas? Probably going to start wrapping it tight with a ace band or something to see how it works.


Im assuming its a form of tendinitis?

How does it feel doing biceps/curls?

Burning usually means nerve pressure. Any numbness in your pinky?

Didn’t want to create another thread- any one had any forearm strains? Both of mine are inhibiting my push, pull movement no swelling or bruising I can see- also heavily tattooed. It’s just been the last 2 weeks. I’m thinking super sore - I’m doing 6 day splits. This all happens after I did bent over rows with 2 plates while letting it hang on my fingers- haven’t been the same sense. I’m doing stretches. Any info welcomed. Will be buying some form of wrist straps.

Imo, put down the lifting straps and focus on grip strength. I was having bad elbow pain in both elbows that sounds a lot like what @Pineapples4Puss was describing. I always had good forearm development and didn’t want want my forearms getting so pumped from doing pull movements working my back so I started using straps. I ended up using them on everything pull, even lightweight lat pull downs. After about 6 months of doing this I was obviously pulling more weight but loosing my natural grip strength, then the pains started. I dreaded doing biceps especially, could not focus on the muscle at all, just the pain. Long story short I had an old timer tell me to give up the straps and do grip strength exercises. It worked! I used a squeeze ball multiple times a day, and squeezed the shit hard and hold for a few seconds each squeeze , not all fast like a stress-anxious thing. Try doing it in a position like you are flexing your bicep and with your arm out straight with a locked elbow. Rotate your wrist after each squeeze into different positions. It hurt at first but after a few days of doing this it got easier. Then after about 2 weeks of doing this religiously my elbow/forearm pains went away and have never returned. It’s nice to be able to work biceps pain free. Sorry for the long post, hope this helps.

great write up will try this- I don’t use straps as it is- was just wonder what could I do to work around this issue. But will try this first. It’s mainly upper forearm pain. But it subsided after 6-8 hours i probably just pulled it- I do need wrist wraps- they do hurt time to time. Thanks!

Oh damn boys I never saw any of these replies that’s my fault. Currently in the car let me get home and read what you all said.

It’s annoying as fuck and pretty persistent. I think it’s the shortening of my forearm muscles from lack of stretching.

Bicep curls are hit or miss I am confident in my mind muscle connection and never over load weight. Just my core arms take over. Same with pull movements

It's tendinitis and you need to stop using fixed bars. I use dumbbells for everything and no bars, it's the fixed motion that is causing the stress. Gets worse as you get stronger, it is common.

That usually means nerve pressure. You should get that checked out.
