You probably just need stronger wrists. Do wrist curls and get one of those grip strength trainers

I get wrist pain from barbell curls, but never dumbbell curls. At the bottom of the rep, are your palms facing towards your body, or are they facing forward?

assuming you're doing normal curls, try using suicide grip (put your thumb on the same side of the bar as your other fingers and grip with your pinky, forefinger and middlefinger)
Or you could just have weak wrists.

towards my body
It's mostly during concentration curls (the ones when you sit down and curl between your legs) that my wrists begin to hurt.

And honestly I probably do have weak wrists. I decided to get off of my gaming ass and begin working out a month ago.

Wait 2 days and then do them again, I had the same issue when I first started but not anymore.

How long have you been lifting and how much are you trying to curl?

Doesn't sound like starting strength to me.

starting strength doesn't involve dumbbell curls, friend

is it just wrist pain or forearm pain as well?
