Top 5 Tips To Reduce Arm Pump at Home

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.
