Reply To: Pain in forearm?

[Lisa Löwe]

I’ve just registred and was looking around when I found your very familiar post. I had/have that problem too. In case you or somebody else still needs a tip, this is what I have learned:

The problem is not in your lower arm but in your upper arm. This pain is caused by missing pulling strength of the upper arm. Your lower arm has to “jump in” to get you on the pole which causes the pain because almost your full body weight lies on your arm. Try to work on your pulling strength before doing this grip again.
