Alright boys, Im posting this because im curious to see who all gets arm pump and if so whats a good way to heal it? And what can you do to prevent it from happening again. I get arm pump so bad sometimes I'm not even able to pull my clutch in at all. Its aggrevating when your out all day killing the lot and half way through the day your arm ****** kills, And then the next day is 100 times worse. Could it possibly be the bar and lever set-up?

 

Do you have an ez pull clutch and a modern handbrake?

 

My **** was crazy hard to pull(clutch) got a bike with the clutch line as kink free as possible and an ez-pull and its 100 times better...if you work out at the end get a dumbell and squeeze it hella hard for like 20 seconds release and do that again several times helps your arms get used to it....google forarm workouts **** like that

 

Practice more, and get one of those things you squeeze to work out your forarm. That thing helped me out a lot.

+1 on the EZ pull if you dont have one.

 

I used to get it really bad, but I don't anymore? I guess I just kinda got used to it? I don't have an easy pull clutch so I get a work out the whole time I'm riding... People tend to think I wack off with my left arm (Popeye Syndrom) LoL but I swear to them I'm right handed!!

Practice cures all, I never get it, but ten minutes on my rm in the woods and I cant even open my hands lol, and the hand strenghener helps as well

 

anyone seen that episode on mtv with Kyle Woods and whats his face.... serious **** workouts, karate, hanging from the bars to be in shape to ride.... of course you seen that.

 

I have a msr. And a 1000rr master.

 

I have a msr. And a 1000rr master. Maybe i should just start using my left hand lol,

 

Lemons are the answer, just ask the Frenchies... and it does work!!

 

Lemons? I don't get it......

jerk off everyday, and soon your arm will be strong enough

but really if you practice enough you will get used to it. same thing used to happen to me, but it's not as bad as before.

 

ya man arm pump is a bitch. everyone is right more seat time should cure it all. seeing as how your from a northern state your gonna get it your first couple of times out. somthing to make sure of to is to keep yourself hydrated. if your dehydrated your lactic acid builds up much faster and your toast.

 

haha i have the same problem

 

go ride dirt homie. find someone with a dirt bike and go ride on a mx track or in the woods. just gotta build strength in that hand and arm. squeze a tennis ball when your sittin on the couch.

 

na man he would die in 3minutes.

 

i just ordered an easy pull lever from pitposse.com hope it gets her tomorrow so i can get it on...my **** isn't that hard 2 pull, but after about an hour it gets pretty hard to pull

 

Brian.. Come on down and run some of the HARE SCRAMBLES with Rick and I!!

U want arm pump get a dirt bike!!! Street bike is EASY!!!

 

Great advice go ride dirt. Ride more youll get used to it.

 

drink water and stay away from sodas when your riding. that fixed my probs.
