    Forearms get tight when doing biceps exercises
    I can only do about 2 sets of any biceps exercise before my forearms tighten up and I can't do any more. I don't grip the weight too hard. Are my fore arms and grip just too week for the amount of weight I want to lift. My bi's don't get tired or much of a work out... what's up?

    Try doing compound back and biceps exercises like pull-ups and barbell rows, You can use straps if necessary to maintain grip. Those exercises will work your biceps harder than you think.
