vassI have a technical problem: every time I lift dumbbells, I end up with bruises on my arms, an inch or so down from my wrists. Right up along the bone (ulna, not radius.)
Near as I can tell, the rubber plates on the dumbbell are digging into my arm when I lift.
Since I've never heard of this happening normally, I assume my technique is faulty, Can anyone tell me what sort of faulty technique would cause this, and how to correct it?
The exercises I've been using the dumbbells for are bench press, shoulder press, and rows.
ETA: the dumbbells are fixed, not adjustable, but with huge rubber plates instead of just moulded metal.
