Indy 350 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 Try using wraps, they give you a good pull on the bar and less strain on your forearm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian 972 Report post Posted March 21, 2015 Are you already doing a reverse grip? IE, Been lifting on and off for the past two years with football, been more consistent since October. I always did it with the reverse grip as pictured. It's a 10 pound difference that I feel it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 350 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 Is it one or both forearms? And do you alternate your (alternate) grip between sets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian 972 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 It's just my right forearm, and I don't alternate grip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 350 Report post Posted March 24, 2015 Try alternating your grip I suppose, it can be hard especially if you're used to using a certain grip. Or use straps, they're great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian 972 Report post Posted March 26, 2015 Lately I've been feeling a lot more depressed than usual, we're still making an appointment for therapy but it's affecting my everyday life at this point. I cut school at least one or two days a week, part of it is social anxiety I get and part of it is the fact I can't make it through a full day without feeling exhausted. At this point I am always tired whether I get three hours sleep or nine. I don't know what do to anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 350 Report post Posted March 26, 2015 Why do you think you feel depressed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian 972 Report post Posted March 28, 2015 Why do you think you feel depressed? It's a lot to write and a lot of it is personal, my counselor at school is asking me to go to a therapist because him along with the school social worker say I show signs of depression and anxiety, body dysmorphia, and it would likely benefit me. I've lost all my motivation in school and this always being tired thing is getting old. Also, life doesn't feel real in a way if that makes sense, like I know it's happening but memories don't seem real and everything just passes. Plus the past few months have gone be extremely fast for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian 972 Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Are you into fitness? Yeah, I lift at least three times a week. I noticed when lifting last week I couldn't do as much though all the sudden which was very odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
