I pulled a muscle!
-
Sunday, February 19, 2006 9:10 AM
I pulled my muscle about 4 days ago and was wondering whether i should still go and train with low weights or just reast until it heals. The pull is around the bicep to forearm area and if mild b/c i can still lift the same weights. Only problem is after i get into my 4-6 exercise, it starts killing me. Any opinions would be helpful!
Weight: 145 Benched: 95 Squats: 110 Bicep Curled: 20 Feb/19/06 Weigh: 138 Benched: 135 Squat: A lil' over 200 Bicep Curl: 35

Hello,
you probably pulled your bicep's tendon or your brachioradialis.
if it doesnt hurt when you are at rest but only when you exercise you can continue training but stop immediately when you feel it hurt. i pulled my tendon 2 weeks ago and its almost recovered completely.

If it it hurts, as in pain, not in ache, something is wrong. I feel like a broken record--do not only self-medicate/self-treat. See, or at least speak, with your doctor. A little precaution now can save you from a long delay from the gym, and unnecessary pain.
Bodybuilding, sports, etc., should, at the most, cause aches. Not pain. If it hurts, something is wrong. If it hurts tomorrow too, something is wrong. Repeat.

When I get injured I like to do actually lifting....very light to moderate weight.
