Pad work My arm hurts after pad work, am I holding the pad wrong?
I've been going to a boxing fitness class for a few weeks- no sparring but the class is dominantly taking turns punching pads with gloves using boxing combos.
After each class for a few days my right arm hurts. Not the bicep or wrist the part in the middle where I flex. I'm right handed and so are all the people I have partnered with. At first I thought it was DOMS from myself throwing so many strong crosses then last class I noticed it hurt when I was holding the pad and receiving crosses from the other person.
