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?

My **** was crazy hard to pull(clutch) got a bike with the clutch line as kink free as possible and an ez-pull and its 100 times better...if you work out at the end get a dumbell and squeeze it hella hard for like 20 seconds release and do that again several times helps your arms get used to it....google forarm workouts **** like that

I used to get it really bad, but I don't anymore? I guess I just kinda got used to it? I don't have an easy pull clutch so I get a work out the whole time I'm riding... People tend to think I wack off with my left arm (Popeye Syndrom) LoL but I swear to them I'm right handed!!
