not photochopped, it's just a common picture of a curlbro who doesn't work his shoulder but yes DOMS, at least rest for 48 hours for best recovery

is it possible? based on the stickies, spot reduction is not possible. Is my understanding of that article wrong?

is it the entire edge of your forearm along the pinky?

might be too much unnecessary stress from your wrist.

don't tighten the spinlock on your barbell/dumbbell until the plates can't move, this helps lighten the stress transferred to your wrists.

also let your wrists rotate naturally when curling, barbell curling too much is bad because of how the bar lock your wrists into a fixed position. your wrist is still rotating, only the bar is preventing it from doing so, so all the force from rotating towards the bar is transferred back to your wrist.

see how some people when dumbbell curling starts with a hammer position and rotates their wrist a little bit so the palm is facing towards their face. still, too much curling will always be stressful to the wrist but these tips will let you curl a bit more before you kill your wrist again.

Good advice here bro. I think i might be doing my curls the wrong way. Strange that my trainer didn't say anything or he didn't notice. I think i did not rotate the barbell while lifting it up and eventually this killed my forearm. My wrist is alright , only the forearm hurts as f*** when i use strength on it. Damn. It's been a week and the pain is still there.

The pain is called DOMS bro, you should let it recover

Hmm, just read an article regarding on DOMS but they said it would recover from 72 hours.
It's sad that the pain is the problem still again.

your wrist will always rotate naturally, stopping it from rotating puts a lot of load onto your wrist. just switch to other movements that doesn't stop your wrist from rotating or cut down the volume. usually nobody does curls that much.

try pull ups on gymnastic rings or straps sometimes.

good luck.

Dude, dont bend ur wrist downwards when u curl, ur wrist should be parallel or slightly bend (upwards). and if i u cant move the weight without moving ur upper arms, reduce the load.
