                                Forearm/hand tightness with kettlebells is definitely not normal right? It gets to the point where I can hardly hold it and a burning sensation happens…. Thoughts on how to fix it?

                                  On what moves?  If that's happening while you're not really swinging the bell, (like squats or presses, for instance) you need to shift your grip so that you can hold the bell with your hand open.

                                  If that's happening on swinging moves, then you just have really weak hand and forearm muscles, sorry. 😞

                                  Now that I think about it more, it could also be because you're trying to swing the bell with just your arms, rather than getting a full motion from the hips.  Regardless, it sounds more like you have a form problem rather than a muscle problem.

                                    Usually what gets me is like half way into it at clean and press. And only the left hand….gotta work that one more I guess.....

                                      Could still be a form problem; I continually scrape one knuckle on my left hand as I transition the bell from swing into rack, and it's just the way I'm holding my wrist.

                                      Try recording yourself while working out (cell phone sitting on a chair works ok) and then watching it to see if you can spot anything obviously wrong.

                                        Thanks Chris, recording is a good idea.

                                          Is it possible to have built up a gluten intolerance?  I inadvertently ate something that had soy sauce in it (wheat, soy) and now for the last 2 days have been sick as a dog headaches, horrible gas, can't stop going to the bathroom.

                                            ^Yes it most certainly is. I developed it after dropping bread in general. And sounds about right. It generally takes me 1 piece of bread and I'll be the same.
