I have been speaking to a couple of people about my arm pump.
Ever since I have started weight lifting, which has now been about 2 months I have got very bad arm pump when riding.
So bad that half way through the first section on the first lap of the last 2 comps I have entered my arm just pumps up so much I can't complete a section in the available 2mins30secs due to trackstanding to try and get the blood flow back to my forearm.
I have been told to stop weight lifting, which I am fine with doing. I only done weight lifting, because I wanted to gain strength for trials.
So that been said, the gym is the cause of my severe arm pump issues and have been told (as I said above) to stop lifting weights and to also create sections when I am practicing and try to get through them in the 2mins30secs which will help.
So after this long winded repetitiveness I have written above. What should I do at the gym? I have a one year membership there and can not leave unless I buy my self out for a stupid price. So I may aswell stay. I will work on my core and do some cardio, but is there anything else?
What could help with the endurance of my muscles without lifting the weights?
Thanks in advance, Danny.
