John Knowlton Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Today While I was working With hand grippers I felt a pull in my right bicep. I continued but With a little bit of pain . Still hurts a little, but I'll be good. Is anyone experienced anything like this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got something similar going on with my left from bending/ years old injury. Mine seems to seem from the lats. dead hangs seem to help it.

C8Myotome Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Yeah I've had a strained bicep before, you need to really stretch it and keep it lengthened so that when you are doing stuff you aren't attempting ranges of motion with muscle length that you don't have...this will pull on the extra short muscle and you'll feel it at the tendon since the muscle is able to stretch the the tendon cannot, so this area experiences too much tension. Since you probably have some micro-tears I'd wait for it to cool down and then regularly stretch it by reaching behind you into shoulder extension and holding onto something with a pronated grip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had any injuries, thankfully. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I used to always hurt something. @C8Myotome is pretty spot on and I think that’s what I got going on with my bicep. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
