arm pump we're going to talk about arm pump today hey this is arden ballard position assistant

athletic trainer here with crash cart on whiskey throttle media here sitting next to me is my dear

friend uh he's a biomechanics candidate for his PhD, fellow athletic trainer. He and I went to

athletic training school together. Chad Dufran, hey, Chad. Hello. How you doing, man? I'm okay, man. How about

you? I like that contraption you have in your hand. I know you probably don't know what arm pump is.

Chad doesn't have much of a motorcross background,

but I like that because he's going to take his knowledge and approach this from an unbiased

place, right? Arm pump, as we know in motocross, it's a reaction, it's a phenomenon as you're

holding on to the bike and you're in a death grip position, right?

The muscles of your forearm and the compartments of your forearm fill up with so much blood that you can't use them, right?

You either go numb or you can't grip anymore.

You lose your strength.

And you can imagine flinging around a 230 pound motorcycle during a race.

It's probably a bad thing.

You know, I think it's personally because of poor technique.

But nonetheless, it happens.

It happens to a lot of people, if not everybody in some varying degree.

And so because of this, there have been products made throughout the millennia to help reduce or eliminate arm pump.

And I've seen some doozies, right?

I've seen some really ridiculous ones.

Some are more believable than others.

Okay.
