In my case it was purely genetics and anatomy. Doctor said he understood i have had huge issues because the muscle just poured out when he did the cut of the fascia. It was way to tight for the muscle.
Problem gone directly 2 weeks after surgery when I rode again.
No riding position was ever going to fix my issue.
It sounds stupid, but engaging your scapula moves the load from your arms into the stronger muscles of your chest, back and core. The also helps stabilize the thoracic spine so you don’t end up with a kyphotic posture up top and will help you maintain a neutral posture in your lower back and pelvis. Just try it for two laps and see if you feel a difference.
I get arm pump after 3-4 corners. Some say nerves some don't. I'm a ex local A rider and I never suffered from arm pump. Took 14yrs off and just started again. At 47 still think I can ride at that level except now my vision is screwed as well. I have appt soon for Dr about 4 arms.
Sounds more like your just outta shape to me.
McGinley Clinic. In and out the same day. Very little down time.
Lol yea not for 11,000 out of pocket and you may have to go back for a touch up because it may come back. No thanx. I've called and inquired. Insurance does not cover. Plus travel expenses to get there.
Lol. Wow thats weird was just there a week ago and it was well under half of that and my insurance didn't cover it.
I mean riding shape maybe,,, so after I quite racing I then took up lifting weights. I was going 5 days a week. Doing cardio 3 days a long with weight training. I haven't been working out to that extent still going 3 times a week. Mainly just for cycling.
I wish I still had the quote they sent me. I was in such awww I threw it. I spoke with Bret. I still wouldn't spend half that.
Check out @offroadperformancecoach he's got a bunch of content on this.

I think the root cause is different for everybody.
I have personally struggled damn near my whole life with it. This winter after working with Troll Train this winter, I started riding this spring and no arm pump. High Intensity Intervals.
Also have done two rounds with Dr. Mcginley. Very pleased with the results. Was not quoted 11k. That's simply not factual.
If I wasn't in aweee at the amount I would prove to u with the quote I was sent. And it was 6-7 for the 1st round ,, I was told that most will need a 2nd round of treatment and that was approximately 3-4. Plus the cost of any additional procedures but x rays MRI can get covered by insurance. And then u have air fare and hotel . So in my math world ,, 4+7 is 11 that would be doing 2 sessions. And in fact it would be more because u have air fare, car rental, food expenses, and then the insurance deductible if even covered. So it's very factual. Just not in your world because your drinking the Kool aide
Your funny....
I get chronic pump to since I was a kid so I use these when just watching tv and have had massive improvements.
have more strength to hold on for longer.
When you say high intensity intervals, what does that mean? I'm sure I could google it but it's a catch all term now so I want to know what you're doing that you perceive has helped you alot. thanks!
This is what is on my schedule this week for intervals:
-15 minute warm up nice and easy (RPE (rate of perceived exertion) 2-4 (out of 10))
-8x40 seconds at an RPE of 10 or max effort, with 20 seconds easy moving in between
-Take 4 minutes of easy moving after your last 40 second interval into another set of:
-8x40 seconds at an RPE of 10 or max effort, with 20 seconds easy moving in between
-10 minute cool down nice and easy
15 minute warm up nice and easy
7x2 minutes at an RPE of 7-8 or 85-90% of your max heart rate with 2 minutes easy moving in between each interval. If you feel good, go all in on the last interval!
15 minute cool down nice and easy
I do most of my intervals on Spin Bike or a Concept 2 rower.
Sweet, that sheds some light on my thoughts. So, a person could do this on the pavement or trail as long as you have a time keeping device? I love running, next would be the rower as well.
Yes. I have a cheaper Garmin Watch and I can program the workout into it and it works great.
