As per title, this past few weeks i've been training my biceps almost everyday and i found out that my forearms are getting pain.
First my right arm suffered my pain and then now it's worst my left arm is slightly feeling the pain as well.
Should i stop my bicep and forearm routines for a period?
How long should i rest? I don't wanna get left out too long too.

U are not supposed to train a muscle group everyday, they need to rest too

It is recommended u train them once a week per muscle group with proper diet for faster recovery/growth

I understand but i just include bicep reps in my daily routine , normally i wont stress myself out in this but i think i really overdid it this time.

do you consume any supplement? i mean body-building supplement?

Here is the case,

If you are train without consume any supplement, you need to rest 1-2 days in between after workout as your body do not have enough nutrition to heal back the muscle.

If you train with supplement along, I don't see there's any possibility to get pain since the supplement provide enough nutrition to heal your muscle.

UNLESS your workout method was wrong OR sleep not enough OR you overdo the workout where you hold something which is not under your capability.

From your advice i guess it's because i lack any supplement and also the reason is i got any lack of sleep.
Does clubbing or drinking twice a week had anything to do with it? Haha.
Sorry coz i'm a very enthusiastic body builder and a heavy clubber.

Look, supplements are not miracle-workers. With or without them you need to rest.
Enthusiastic as you may be, you're doing it wrong, very wrong.

I'll try and consult a doctor as well to get medications for fast recovery smile.gif

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.
