hey guys so the other dya i was doing bicep curls and after my supersets i notices my forearms to be burning a little more than my biceps does that mean i am doing to much weight or my form is wrong and im taking the pressure off my biceps?

what were you supersetting the excercise with? could be your form, keep your arms by your side

all im doing for my bicep super set is i use the ez curl barbell with 45 pounds 10 times then immediately grab a 30 or 35 pound bar and do that 10 times

Any curl works your forearm some, gripping things alone work it out, sounds like you just need to work on your forearms more and build some grip strength, just sounds like the forearm muscle got fatigued.

I do a set of curls then do a forearm exercise, works really great to hit the forearms and keep the workout time shorter.

Switch to a strait bar, or try griping the EZ bar so that your pinky side of your hand is above the rest of your hand, its awkward but works pretty well. Hopefully that will help.

I read the title and very first internal monolauge "Get some of that rash cream and call a doctor."

if it doesnt effect your grip... just work through it

If your only curling a 45 lbs barbell, Im going to assume you are a tiny guys and new to bbing. The burn in your forearms could simply mean that you need work on your grip. If you can take the pain, just work though them. They will eventually be up to par with your biceps. Your body grows as a whole.

sounds like just a weaker grip.Might need to build it up some.

oh cool that helps so mainly its normal and i should just work on my forearm strength...well thanks guys this helps alot and also vendetta i have a question does using the staright bar work out the bicep head more?

**JakeVendetta** · 03-06-2008, 08:10 PM

i feel it does alot more then the EZ bar. Just try it and see for yourself thats the best way to find out.

I love the way the straight bar feels curling, it seems like a good exercise for building mass and doing heavier lifts. I did it today, I do my curls, then after I do a few sets of wrist curls, it hits the forearms since they are nice and warmed up.

Also you can do forearms often like abs and calves, get one of those hand grippers and just cruise around with it when you're doing whatever and pump those suckers up, before you know it people will be looking at you funny when you shake their hand
