I have been recently been trying to work in straight bar curls into my bi routine but im feeling alot of pressure on the top of my hand and my wrist. I dont think its to much weight cuz its just the bar itself. it almost feels like im twisting my wrist in ways its not supposed to twist.

is this a normal uncomfortable feeling that will overcome in time or do my wrists just not allow me to do this movement and i should stop?

Dude if that shit hurts i would stop, i got my forearm splints from doin str8 bar, im jus gettin bak in to using the bar in my routine, but i go light with the ez bar, doesn't hurt my wrists either. that wrist pain i get that too when i use a str8 bar...
 
My wrists don't much like them either, I rarely do them because of that. If I hold the bar at an angle, like an EZ bar, its ok, but I mainly stick to dumbells.
 
you have a bicep routine? do you have a day dedicated to arms? what is your bicep routine, id love to take a look at it?

Warm up:

I usually do 3 sets of 10-15 with 25 lbs stand up curls. I start off with both arms down and palms facing inward the twist as I come up and at the very top my palms will be facing up/away from face and I usually hold and flex for a second and bring it back down slowly.

I usually start off also by warming up my shoulders with a 5 lbs weight and doing arm rotaions keeping my arms straight 2-3 sets.

1st set:
I do sitting curls with the same methods as my warm up just with more weight and on a inclined bench so my arms are behind me starting off a bit 4 sets 10x

2nd set:
preacher curls with a curl bar usually high weight 6-8 reps and 3-4 sets

3rd set:
single arm preacher curls making sure my arm is fully exstended down and curling up keeping palm up everytime 10 reps 3-4 sets

4th set:
Burn outs with a easy bar I use five 5 lbs weights on each end and do 15 reps then take 1 5 lb plate off and do 15 reps etc etc all the way down to the bar and then back up to the 5 plates.

5th set:
I do some rope pull downs just to get some blood flowin to the tri's and maybe even another tri work out. but just to get it warmed up.

thats my bi day. for me i get the best results this way mixing heavy with light weight.

I also do abs. and calvs.
