Steve Arm pump, as I understand it, is the development of the forearms due to increased musculature which inhibits blood flow. When braking extremely hard on a roadracing motorcycle, the arms bear enormous pressure from the deceleration G-forces. This happens 10-15 times/lap in a race. The symptoms of arm pump are numbing of the hands, leading to loss of hand strength and more importantly, feel of the brakes and front end of the motorcycle. This is bad. From the little I've read on the subject, the surgery unrestricts the forearm muscles by cutting away a sheath around the muscles. It apparently affects the judgement of selecting one's cycling companions as well. Motorcycle racing strikes me as one step away from Nascar mentality. He probably idolizes Boyer. |

This is one of the worst threads I've read here thus far...
I'll try to make a Boyer comment he maybe he turned into a child molester because he was so distraught with the false notion that he would have won a world title but for Lemond's infamous chase.

It's officially referred to as "functional chronic compartment syndrome", and it does involve cutting the facia sheath around the forearm muscles. What I've seen on it seems to point toward about 5 or 6 weeks of recovery/rehab, but many riders want to come back sooner than that (surprise...). It is pretty common in the motocross world, too. (Apparently, jackhammer operators get it, too.) This used to be a problem in GP road racing until the development of the carbon brakes. But now that the bikes are heavier and the throttle needs to be blipped for downshifts, it has made a comeback. -- tanx, Howard "It looks like the squirrel's been showing everybody where he keeps his nuts." remove YOUR SHOES to reply, ok? |

As an attorney, I have to admire that defense. If you're a good trial lawyer, you could probably sell it to a jury. |
