...right when you let go of the bar? I've had this ever since I started working out, and although I dont lift with straps anymore, and always try to stretch and train my forearms it persists.
I think I found a way around it though:
After your last rep, rack the bar, and keep your grip tight. Then, lean over the bar slightly. With your palms still pressed against the bar, uncurl your fingers slowly.
Ive done this for the past few workouts, and even with heavy sets of 5, Im not experiencing any forearm pain.
If I rack the bar and let go as I normally would, Ill get that shooting pain up my forearm, so the above release method certainly seems to be working.
Give it a shot and post back if it worked or not!! Ive been trying to find a way to get back to heavier Olympic barbell curls for years...this seems to do the trick!
