When I start lifting heavy again like i'am I start to get a dull ache/pain in my wrist and right where my forearm is (radius/ulna) starts to hurt a lot after bar curls. It used to happen and hasn't for awhile but its starting to ache again. Also my wrist hurts as well. It's only my left arm which I don't understand.

I get this sort of pain in my forarms. Try ez-curl bars or dbs and strapping your forearms up. It helps a little but not much.
Yeah i've tried that. It doesn't help. I'm thinking about ordering some good quality wrist wraps, I had some garbage ones and it helped a tad I wonder if good ones would be better?
Thinking about ordering some Inzer wrist wraps z.

Are you pre-fatiguing your biceps? I would. I think you'll get the same results and you'll be able to use less weight.

these wrist/forearm pains can actually be from the onset of ELBOW tendonitis......in the past whenever i've had "forearm splints" i've also noticed my training consisted of alot of movements that put my elbows in "over stretched positions" (i.e. nosecrunchers, french press, etc).....as a result you tend to grip the bar much much harder than necessary and overwork the skeletal muscle and it gets inflamed.......the only way i was able to overcome it was to lower the poundage and use less straining movements for each of biceps,triceps, and making sure to directly do some forearm assistance work (but only for a few weeks at a time)
If you go below 10 reps its too heavy for an isolation.
You're not gonna be making any size gains if you fuck your wrists up, are you? Lower the weight.
If the exercise hurts, don't do it. I have never done tricep pulldowns for example - they murder my elbows. There is more than one way to build any given muscle - don't be stupid.
Be careful you don't hyperextend your arms doing curls either. Don't go to full extension, it's a recipe for disaster - I was stupid and used to do it all the time.

Yup.
If it hurts, why do it? Some people just aren't built properly for certain exercises.

LOL Yes doctor..the problem might be "Too Much Curls" Syndrome ... lol
I also have a problem with straight bar curls. The guys are right, there are several other exercises that you can do as a substitute.
There is a big difference between good hurt and bad hurt. I tried going WAY too heavy on barbell curls by sacrificing form and pulled a muscle in my right bicep. Took a good month after that to hit bi's hard again

Cut back on the LHJO or the RHJO or both. Otherwise try the straps and see if it helps, if not, try some of the suggestions above. It could be a flexibility issue in that joint. I guess I'm getting old. I never feel like I'm 100%. Something always hurts. I just lay off of it for awhile and hope it heals better.
Awe man, if I didn't do things that hurt I'd have to ditch half my routine.
I know what you mean though, for instance, I cannot do incline BB bench press, my shoulders are instantly injured if I do. Same thing with straight barbell curls; my wrists just don't straighten like that; and that dates back to when I was a young guy.
However, the post WO aching joints and possible tendinitis could simply be inflammation. Good grief, when you lift, things are under stress, inflamation sometimes occurs lol. After the time I've put under the bar I have to take Aleve or some other anti-inflam. just to workout.
That being said, I agree with the premise here. You have to modify your angles and exercise selections to accommodate your anatomy for sure.
