For sure ... the bigger your forearms, the more you are likely to get it ie; same grip/riding tight You don't see any big & ripped Pro MX'ers do ya? :pIf you ride with a tight grip, you'll get arm pump even if you are strong.
johnnyair said:I was wondering if any one has some good arm workout routines to help combat this ? I have got some feed back from another site with some really good sites thick grip training (power training stuff) from a place called FATGRIPZ some awsome upper body building tips I jacked my thumb awhile back trying to avoid a repeat :bang: some guys were saying it is mostly technique but I think strength sure can help out, gives you that confidence to relax when you ride

I also stretch out my forearms before riding but while seated on bike. Place finger tips on grips w/ wrists pointed to ground and push (pulling fingers/hand back, over the top.) I do this for about 30 seconds for each arm before riding and it helps a bunch.

So I would imagine that holding a "buzzing" bar lightly passes less vibration to the arms than a "hang-on-for-dear-life" grip.
Same end result... huh?
