Developing Picking Hand Speed Options

[purple hayes]

I think the biggest piece of the puzzle in working up some decent alternate picking chops is my right hand. My forearm seems to get too tense at my top speeds and my top speed just isn't that speedy.

What can I do to over-come this?

If your response if "relax your forearm", please try to provide specific ways to do this.

edited to add: if you can provide links to previous threads about this same topic, that will work too. I'm sure it's been covered before. (I just can't ever find anything using the search function here)
