Yo can somebody tell me why..

Now, my curl is 140. has been for about.. oh i'd say half a month.. Never had any problems before. But just recently, whenever i do a curl, just a regular barbell curl. It feels like i have fucking Shin splints in my forearms... any ideas?

It's the anlge of the wrists causing stress on your forearms. Some people experience this when performing Straight Bar curls regularly. Try switching to the EZ bar and DBs from time to time to prevent this.

There was a thread on this EXACT topic not too long ago. Its because your arms are supinated, adn most likely tight. Stretch them more.

And off topic, youre 17 adn curling 140? Is this for reps? If so, thats impressive. Just curious.

How much do you squat to parallel?

How much do you squat to parallel?

Haha that was my next question.

MeridianMonster, Im just giving you a hard time. I see too many young guys worry about their beach muscle (i.e. chest and biceps) and let the real exercises like deads and squat go by the wayside.

Im sure Young and Hungry is just wondering the same thing. Im 23 and have been training HARD and dieting HARD for about 5-6 years and I curl 115 for 8. 140 is huge weight.
