Is it normal that i have a "fear" of bicep curls?

The thought of doing bicep curls grosses me out! There is something about how that motion feels that makes me very uncomfortable and squeamish.

The repulsiveness I feel towards bicep curls is difficult to describe and also irrational. Watching other people do them makes me squirm in my chair, and if I am forced to do them, I feel sick and anxious.

Does anyone else experience a high level of repulsion to bicep curls? I told one of my friends and she looked at me like I was crazy.

    It turns me on like crazy. I think the pumping motion reminds me of a penis thrusting and throbbing. Maybe that's why you don't like it?

    • Nah, I like me some D. It has to do with veins I think. I have a bigger aversion to veins, and the visible vein you see on your anterior elbow feels like it rolls around when I do bicep curls. *shudders*

    I used to be scared of bicep curls too. I was always scared that I'd pull a muscle, so I started with 8 lbs dumbbells and gradually worked my way up to 20 lb ones.

    When I first started lifting I had this problem with the bench press, I forced myself to do it and soon got over it.

    Remember to focus on the muscle contraction when lifting and not the movement of your bones and tendons.

    do bicep curls remind you of a person or event that would repulse you?

    • I think the repulsion occurred after I donated blood a few times. It feels like vein that got pricked "rolls around" when I do a bicep curl and it makes me very disgusted.

      now I can't even watch others
