I have been reading these boards for a few weeks now. What a wonderful and helpful site. I look forward to learning much more. I have had problems doing biceps curls with dumbbells and wonder if anyone else has ever experienced this. i have changed to concentration curls and the problem is resolved but I am still curious cuz it was driving me crazy. I get this sharp pain, a pinching really, on the bottom of my wrist just below my palm when i lowered the weight. It only ever occurred in my right wrist, almost like tendon is being pinched and only when i move it down from a 90* angle. I kept adjusting my grip thinking this could help but to no avail. I have no wrist injury and this was the only time I ever experienced this but it hurt like hell. Just curious.    | ||

you may want to workout your forearms. Try doing some wristcurls by sitting on a bench and laying your arm on the flatbench so just your hand is hanging over the edge of the bench. With a dumbell in hand lower the weight until the dbl rolls down to the tips of your fingers then roll the weight back up and flex your forearm at the top. By incorporating this excersise you should sufficiently strengthen the muscles around the wrist to reduce any pain while doing bicep curls.

I use to suffer the same problem in both wrists when I curled. The problem was diagnosed as carpel tunnel. I started doing stretching exercises for the wrists and light forarm exercises. That combination seemed to help. You can try that and they sell wrist bands that are similar to the bands they sell for tennis elbow and those may help too. ------------------

could be like carpal tunnel,, stretch wrist. Try some hammer curls or reverse curls. Lighter weight?? ------------------ You can run but you'll just be tired when I catch you. | ||

Hey Gutsygirl, I don't know what your goals are. I used to have problems with my wrists, I'm not sure if it's the same as yours. I was doing a lot of heavy curls years ago and my wrist starting hurting. It got so bad to the point where I couldn't curl or even bench press. I took some time away from lifting and let my wrist recover. If your goals are to gain some muscle mass, I recommend sticking to compound movements and avoiding arm work. Your arms get worked in a lot of movements. Your bis get worked from Pulldowns, rowing and your tris get worked from bench presses and shoulder presses. If you're just looking to tone up, I recommend just doing very light curls with high reps. Muscle toning and strength training are different. I got my girlfriend into muscle toning. She was doing 3 weight sessions a week. She would do 6 sets per body part and use 15-20 reps. The weight would be light. I also had her do 2-3 cardio sessions a week. She had a lot of fun at it. She did lose some body fat. If you're interested in training, I would love to help out. You can contact me through email or through my site. If the problem continues, get it checked. Take care. ------------------ Check out http://pub30.ezboard.com/bhitsgymofbodybuilding -HB- | ||

Thanks Everyone. I will keep you all posted once I try some of this advice. HIT-thanks for the offer. Maybe what I will do is e-meail you my present workout for you to critique and tell you more about myself and my goals. I know it needs some help. I also know my priority is needing to eat more. I have such a hard time forcing myself to eat enough. As soon as my hotmail decides to co-operate, I'll be in touch. | ||

Lighter weight & extra hard contractions for a count of two until you think the problem has cleared up. Good luck. ------------------ | ||

Welcome to the site. I used to have similar problems when I first started out. In my case my wrists were just not strong enough in the tendons to carry the weight I was curling. I also used to get it on bench press and triceps extention. Light stretching should definately help as well as wrist curls with a light weight at the end of the bench. Hope it gets better. | ||
