Indubitably Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Every now and then when i go on a ride i get arm pump and it gets annoying. I found a workout that helps quite a bit that might help some of you. You have to make the weight first though which is just a coffe can that you mix some quick crete in. Then you put plant hook( I have no idea what to call it except that), which is just a large screw that has a loop on the end of it. Just put that in the center of the quick crete and let it dry. When it drys get some thick string and tie about 3 feet of it to the loop on the end of the screw/bucket. Then on the other end you take some thick PVC or metal tubingand drill a hole through it to tie the string to. The workout itself is just to hold the piping with the weight on it straight out in front of you and twirl it up, basically wind the string/rope like a winch. Then let it back down slowly, after a couple of times doin that I am beat, but it helps with arm pump. I'll try to get some pics in a few days if anyone wants any.

BansheeBrian Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 That will work. I go the cheap way out and throw down a few aspirin like the pros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris642 Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 that workout must be the most painful exercise i have ever done. we have one of those at our schools weight room. its a short thick wooden pole wrapped in tape with a string thanks like 4 feet attached to it and at the bottom a 5 pound weight. it feels like your forearms have a horrible sunburn while you go up and down a couple times, wow does it burn. when you see someone doing it youd think they were faking because it appears to be so easy.

bigwill Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 A steering damper will reduce arm fatique greatly-its worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 When you wind it up, be sure you wind it up in both directions to work your fore arms and your biceps brachilii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightrider Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Ride a dirtbike,preferably a CR or KX500,after a couple of rides,you won't even notice arm pump anymore.When you do start to notice it again,jump back on the dirtbike. You'll be so tired of riding the bike that you'll be begging to get back on your quad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Duece Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 well if all else fails a scotts steering stabilizer at a whopping 480.00 bucks sure does the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickxc Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I do that workout all the time. It really builds the back of your fouramrs up. I just tie the string around a couple freeweights rather than making a weight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
