- In this video I explain what you need to know about Arm Pump an how to deal with it.
I go into detail on the anatomy of the forearms and why I think I get Arm Pump.
I also explain the trick I learned and have been using to get rid of it as soon as possible while riding.

great job
Thank you for commenting, hope it works for you.
When I ride my bicycle sometimes my arms go numb so I started using your technique. Had never heard of it. Lucky I saw your video, it really works. Thank you

Great to hear that it worked for you, thanks for your feed back.
I can't recall getting arm pump, and I've been riding since the 70s. But one possibility does come to mind and that's attire. The creases that leather will form in the crook of the elbow and on the lateral sides of the knees may contribute to a decreased blood flow. I began as a bodybuilder/trainer and then a power lifter and PL coach. I certainly get the hydration part; as men age, men's rides are governed by their bladder, so we often neglect water intake or obsess so much about the ride that we don't stop because there's always the next curve that needs our attention. I've never ridden a bike in an upright position; the Hyper 950SP will be my first. I'm curious to discover if arm pump becomes a possible issue. I hoping to get it around 3 Kings Day; I'm behaving, but I haven't figured out how they're going to stuff that Ducati under my bed! They're not called Three Wise Men for nothing; they'll figure it out.
Consider yourself one of the lucky ones who doesn’t experience arm pump.
I have gotten this on all different kinds of bikes. I get it on my mountain bike as well , not every time, that’s the weird thing.
As for the riding gear, you are absolutely correct. If it is too tight, it will restrict venous blood flow back to the heart, causing arm pump.
My gear is nice and loose for that reason.
So many people suffer from this, from very experienced racers to just us every day riders.
Congratulations on the bike coming soon, I was exactly where you are this time last year. I could barely sleep knowing it was coming soon.
Enjoy it and be safe, thanks for commenting.
maybe people should do general fitness like cardio exercise :) It helps keeping the cardio vascular more optimal and as smoothly running like a Motard.
Back in the days when I was doing a lot of dirt bike riding and playing baseball, I was really fit and still experienced this off and on.
I’ve never been able to figure it out, some days I never get it and other days I get it more than once. The cool thing is that I found what works for me to be able to get rid of it when it happens. Sometimes it comes back and other times it doesn’t. Very strange thing.
30 years of riding and never experienced this
Hey Robert, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. This is something all kinds of riders experience, from MotoGP , Motocross and to the average rider, even on bicycles. I get it on my mountain bike once in a while as well.
It is a mystery as to why some get it more than others. I still think it had something to do with overdeveloped forearms from previous sport and such and just more developed muscles crowding a very small area. There are a lot of forearm muscles in a small area, when those muscles get cramped with blood, they enlarge and the veins become compressed from the surrounding muscles. Anyways, this is my theory.
Thank you for commenting and enjoy your free arm pump ridding. You are one of the lucky ones..
What navigation app is that?
I always use Waze
