Forearm pain and grip weakness

[runner711]

Hi all,

 

Over last few weeks i have been progressing with ring muscle ups, obviously i have been feeling the pain through the transition phase and the load on the elbows, nevertheless in the space of a month i have been able to get to 10 nice and slow muscle ups in the time frame of about 25 mins. 

 

Before my session 3 days ago i was stretching and playing around with L-sits when i felt something go in my left arm. I gave it a rest, did a few wrist stretches then went to do my ring work, my grip in my left hand got progressively weaker as i got to the 6th muscle up, to the point that i had to take extra recovery, it felt like there was a small electric current running down my arm from bicep to hand. I finished my set, stretches and wrist mobility exercise and that was it.

 

Day of rest.

 

Back in gym, struggled to do 4 muscles ups - had to call it a day and my entire forearm ached for about 10 mins.

 

What is going on?

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Generally, forearm splints are a result of injury to inadequately conditioned connective tissues in the forearms. Rest the injury and resume training with reduced volume.

There are plenty of threads on forearm splints.

Go to a qualified medical professional. Feeling something "go" is bad.
