I need help, hurting from bi's

[pwr_machine]

From my Nagging injuries thread:

I assume that it's from inflammation and overuse. The actual pain probably originates from the periosteum which is the vascular connective tissue that lines all the bones in our body. I think this is also the origin of shin splints. When I find time, I may look into it further. Rest and ice are your best bet.

I don't even know how to respond, you dropped 5 lbs and wonder why your arm still hurt??? go ligt doesn't mean drop a few pounds. it is your body man you want to do some serious damage keep doing the same thing. your body is telling you to relax, a full muscle and tendon tear is not an easy thing to come back from

i just did that weight to test how it feels.. if i didnt try the same weight i wouldnt know at what state of a recovery i was at. I did 1 set that way and went back to the low weights. its not a biggy

I have the same injury as you, and coincidentally, I have the exact same stats as you (5'10", 165 lbs.). I would listen to what others have said and drastically lower the weight you are using w/ bicep exercises, especially preachers. Are both arms hurting you, or is it just one? It is hard getting used to upping your weight in certain exercises (such as chest and legs) every week, while staying at the same weight for awhile in others (such as biceps). That's what my problem was, and I have now learned to take my time in adding weight to barbell curls in particular. I would listen to others here and add more forearm work in to your routine, such as reverse curls and behind the back wrist curls, they should help strengthen your forearms. For myself, I am planning on going another 3 weeks, then taking 7-10 days off before college starts up again to rest up and get back to normal. Good luck and keep us updated.
