So... Not sure if it's cuz i'm middle aged now, or poor health.
When i'm doing bench press my bones are fine.
When i'm doing curls though, my bones get so sore, they feel like they're being strained to much.
I'm not even lifting that much per arm with curls.... maybe 40-45 pounds per arm.
Wondering if you guys have any advice? I'm worried something might happen to my bones lol. The bones are sore in my fore arms part and my elbows. If that makes sense.
Also, i weight 210lb so i should be lifting more, so......

Any good advice is greatly appreciated, ty guys!

Without knowing more, check out your form and try different excercises.

Start out light, work your way up. Form over everything. There's many variations of curls you can be doing to target all of your muscles.

Does the pain linger? I don't know that much about medical things, hopefully it isn't some kind of osteoporosis? Or similar thing?

Though, one of my friends got really bad elbows from his posture, leaning forward and having his elbows on the table supporting his weight for long periods of time? Maybe it's being caused by something else and when you lift it amplifies it.

word thanks

before and after every set raise your arms to your sides with your hands facing up (wrist extension)

I am going to assume you do not have much of a bodybuilding IQ.
40-45 lb. dumbbell curls is a decent amount of weight, especially if you are doing supinated curls and not hammer curls. It is not about how much weight you are moving, it is about how well you can isolate your biceps and get the best contraction. Lighten the weight up and focus on form (as mentioned above) and really contracting the bicep and muscle you are working. Try a 20-25 lb. dumbbell next training session and focus on contraction; biceps are a small muscle, they respond well with higher repetitions and really pumping the blood into the muscle. Also, try raising your pinky at the peak of each contraction with lighter weight and I promise you will get a better pump than just swinging around the 40-45 lb. dumbbells.

Edit: By raising pinky I do not mean off the dumbbell and in the air lol. Rotate your hand outwards at the peak of each contraction.
