Rock climbing + voodoo flossing for recovery = way less arm pump
Rock climbing really works the forearms like nothing else I've tried.
Voodoo flossing is just a marketing term for a physio technique where you wrap a rubber band around your forearms and do exercises to loosen up the fascia and tendons. Basically like a deep-tissue massage. Also works good on old man knees. I learned about it reading a physio book called The Supple Leopard by Kelly Starrett. It's quite technical but worth the read if your body is falling apart like me lol

Anyways just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested because it made a big difference for me.

Sorta like this?

I could ride practice laps at pretty much full pace for hours or local club races no issue.
But big races that put me out of my comfort zone I would struggle a lot with the death grip and wear out after literally 3 laps if not careful.
