Re: Arm pump anyone?
y not just work out? Taking pain killers is just covering the problem. hell get a 50 and ride a 50 mx track, you can build one in your back yard! i get sore for the first week of riding street. Transfer from snowmobiles in the winter to street and dirt in the spring and summer. Sleds give you hella arm pump!

Re: Arm pump anyone?
In the lot I don't get it, a little strain on my 2 fingers. Tried my clipons straight out once and it was instant forearm pump, put them back where I like them. Otherwise after about a mile and a half staggered it starts, riding allover allday. Getting stronger though same fatigue happens closer to 2 miles.

Go to Dick's sporting goods and get the "grip master" $14.99,use it everyday and you'll be golden,each finger has an individual spring,helps with finger dexterity also for using 1 finger clutch and your hb.they make 3 different tension settings,light,medium,and hard tension

Re: Arm pump anyone?
Alright boys, Im posting this because im curious to see who all gets arm pump and if so whats a good way to heal it? And what can you do to prevent it from happening again. I get arm pump so bad sometimes I'm not even able to pull my clutch in at all. Its aggrevating when your out all day killing the lot and half way through the day your arm ****** kills, And then the next day is 100 times worse. Could it possibly be the bar and lever set-up?

jsteezy hit it on the money I ride dirt street and im a mechanic hands are very important if you want to get better sodas put carbon dioxide in blood fatigue sets in early ride often you will have to condition your hands like body increase in increments if their muscles will be sore make sure before you ride stretch hands helps to relax and get the acid out i ride 5 times a week 4 to 8hrs a day push to 12hrs every once in a while hope this helps some guys take breaks every 30 mins i usually ride 2hr intervals to each is own

Re: Arm pump anyone?
Yo ive raced moto for like 9 years and still get arm pump when stuntin sometimes. I think its cause u use ur two fingers so much. I hate it but not enough to get surgery to fix it.
