There is nothing worse than getting arm pump while riding. You ride tight, unable to hold onto the bars, only for it to become worse and worse! Forearms throbbing and hands aching, you sit at the side of the track wondering how do I get rid of this dreaded arm pump! Fear not, we have the answer…

What is arm pump?

Arm pump is caused by restricted blood vessels in the forearms. The restriction backs up the blood coming from the heart. While the blood is backing up, more blood continues to be pumped into the forearms. The result is a blood traffic jam. If not for fascia, the blood would keep pouring in until your forearms explode. The forearms can only expand so far before the limits of the fascia are reached resulting in forearms that feel rock hard.
