  • Arm pump is a condition that affects many athletes that use their grip in their sport. Motocross racers in particular are prone to this condition due to the stress of rough riding conditions, high horsepower bikes. The technical term that is used to describe arm pump is Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome. A good bike setup enables you to be comfortable on the bike. Without this, you will have a tendency to ride tight, which can lead to arm pump. A key component to becoming comfortable on the bike is having your suspension set up for your weight and skill level. If you have a rigid setup, you will be fighting the bike and will lack the ability to ride at your level. Also make sure the controls are in an easily accessible position and are well maintained. Many Pros ride a stationary bike before they race to get their body properly warmed up. Exercise gets the blood flowing through the arms. Most people don’t have a stationary bike at the track, but you can run in place, stretch or do dynamic tension-type exercises. Riding hard in practice can cut down on arm pump later.

    Improve Your Riding Technique: Remember to utilize the sheer size and strength of your legs to grip your bike firmly. This will relieve your arms considerably when done right. Having the handlebars, clutch and brake levers set in the wrong position can cause your forearms and hands to be at awkward angles restricting blood flow. Keep your levers/cables well lubricated and clean to ensure easy operation. Not doing so is a definite ticket to the arm pump show! Your suspension set-up makes a huge difference as well so don’t neglect this.

    Try those Iron Mind Captains of crush grippers, towel hangs, and towel hang pullups. They’ll take your already killer forearms up to a new level. Still, nothing works like on-trail endurance training. You’re spot on about hydration, to flush any lactic acid. Still, conditioning, technique, and ergonomics are key. Good video-thanks.

    I feel it is the time to make my own video about it. Arm pump issue is because not enough blood can circulate. It cannot circulate for quite many reasons, but the most common, - overtight muscles which are "jamming" and limiting blood flow all the way from the shoulders down your arms. So, the natural way would be to massage your muscles till the moment you don't feel they hurt anymore. It is quite difficult to massage with your own thumb, cause you need to have strength in it. But get the proper massager tool. Not cheap one from ali express but such as theragun mini which I'm using with a different extensions. It is slow process to undo tightness, - but going very deep into the arm muscles helping me a lot. It is still long way to go, but I can feel already improvement.

    Common census on working out/forearm training makes it worse…
    Tried that. Couldn’t pull a complete MX track lap my arm pump was so bad.
    When I started trying to mitigate the pump (body language not included) I used beta alanine, aspirin, cbd cream, forearm strong device and most recently I started using the hand gripper for high intensity and reps…This was prob the most beneficial aspect along with good long stretches.

      @Hank_Amarillo Před rokem +1

      wait you say common consensus is working out/forearm training makes it worse? then say you used hand grippers (which is a form of work out) and it was the most beneficial. so forearm workouts or training is actually beneficial?

      @@Hank_Amarillo I’m pretty sure I worded that way wrong. Was prob something I wrote when u was on the toilet lol.
      Was trying to say from reading stuff online seemed it was a consensus. So I tried not working forearms.
      AStarted working forearms into my work outs and it made a big difference.

    What’s wrong with creatine ?

    • @2jz954
      @2jz954 Před rokem

      creatine pushes water into your muscles making them bigger. Arm pump is from an excessive amount of fluid build up inside the muscle like blood. The skin keep that muscle inside the arm and when the muscle has to much fluid and it starts to push against the skin, it will cause arm pump. So with the creatine having already pushed water into your muscle arm pump will happen much much quicker

    Eat chocolate and take some magnesium 30 min before riding. It's helping a lot!

      I agree, I didn't really mean to show the exact position of the body.I had in mind to show that while accelerating that the body needs to be forward, and when it braking that the body needs to be put back.

    Creatine helps retain water in muscles. Why is that a bag thing?

    • @patski123
      @patski123 Před 10 měsíci

      Because the water gets retained in muscles , the rest of your body becomes dehydrated quicker ... I believe
