Forearm pain while doing bracket holds
-
I totally agree with Kandi that stretching is vital. Tight muscles are more prone to injury. Along with my tendonitis (I’ve received 2 cortisone shots 6 months apart) I have pretty intense tightness and at times it feels like my forearms are so ‘full’ and they are uncomfortable. I’ve incorporated forearm stretches into my workout. So helpful!!

Thanks for bumping this up! I dont get the pain when my dominant hand is on the bottom, but when my non-dominant hand is. Poling is weird for me… I’m a righty… but when poling, certain moves are easier/more comfortable on my left and others easier/more comfortable on my right. and I ALWAYS try and keep it "even" and do things on both sides… but I just find this just weird lol.. is this normal??

Always stretch your forearms after EVERY pole session! Like the other ladies said, massage does wonders as well. Also that bottom are shouldn’t be taking on much of the weight at all, it should mostly be on the top arm. And when in the bracket position be sure that your bottom arm isn’t crossing over your body.

Im the same way! I feel it in my less dominant arm when it is on the bottom. Well its not normal, but it is common! Pain shouldnt be there, but for some of us it is.
Veena’s post is great on the forearem strengthening exercises! We need that!
and stretching after each is a great. Those forearms become so tight.
Good Luck! And keep posting with any helpful info, its so nice to share it with others, then you know your not the only one! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cat.gif
