The bones in my forearm hurt like hell when Im doing curls. The heavier the weight the more they hurt. Any Ideas on how to make them stronger besides drinking milk, which I already do?

Lifting weights along with good nutrition is the best method for building strong dense bones. I imagine you're doing both. You may want to adjust your grip or look for an alternative movement if the curl you are utilizing is causing alot of discomfort. Specific wrist curl movements to strengthen and build your forearm may also help the situation. I know it feel like its the bones in your forearm, but more likely it is the muscles and ligaments, especially if it is a pain that builds as you do the exercise and seems to kind of explode when you release the bar after the movement. Out.

Yeah, sometimes it feels like the bone is breaking and I stop lifting. It really pisses me off because my Bis are lacking in girth. I want to train them harder, but I cant. Ill try what was in that post though. sounds like it could work thanx. Karma to you both.

Jack,
Additionally, whuke you build your forearms strength I'd make adjustment like I had suggested to limit the pain. Try reverse grip or better yet forgo the barbell for dumbells. The pain is a result of the grip and tension created by the bar. The same tension accounts for the high weight one can handle using both arms at once. Another adjustment would be to keep you wrist suppinate (I think thats the word but basically keep your wristed turned all the way in) through the whole curl. I'd do preache concentration curls and incline curlss with dumbells. Go damn heavy for low reps and do more sets at this weight for limited reps. You will build size. In the mean time, work those forearms so you can get back to heavy barbell cursl which are best for mass. I'm gonna assume you're already using an e-z bar right? Hope this helps bro. Out.
