Just got back from a race today, done well in the practice/quali but first race fucking arm pump kicked in 2nd lap. ended up dnf.   

packed all up went home. what a waste!! 

Its not like this was just today either. im been battling arm pump for the last 3 years. changed bike, bars, grip, suspension everything possible and still cant shake it. the usual 2 maybe 3 solid laps then boom arm solid and it only seems to be my right arm too which leads me to believe my broken hand 3 years ago has a part to play. 

im jusy really sick of arm pump holding me back. I know theres no miracle cure but any suggestions or what works for you would be really appreciated. cheers boys

ive battled with arm pump my entire life, and to be honest the tool that has helped me more than anything is the 4arm strong system. in would highly recommend it. a lot of guys think that doing 4arm exercises is the answer but its the worst thing for it, the stronger/ bigger the muscle is the more frequent youll experience it, if the muscle is bigger its not able to allow the blood to flow through as easily. other than the arm pump surgery which helps but doesnt always fix it, stretches and the 4arm strong system is the way to go, its something youll probably always have to battle with but with enough work you can lessen the hurt.
