ben66 | Best way to get rid of bicep pain?? | 29-01-2012 @ 16:09 | |
Why get fat to look big? Member 1330, 4797 posts SQ 300, BP 200, DL 305805.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | I've got pretty bad pain in both biceps where they meet the fore arm. I rekon low bar squatting is the culprit. Is there anything to stop/reduce/relieve this, either after or during squats? (without stopping squatting) I'm getting the pain doing anything now- deads, pressing, laying in bed- it's doing my head in! Only started last week. | ||

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 29.01.2012 @ 16:21 PM by slimsim If it's only just started and isn't too chronic why not just try taking ibuprofen for a couple of days? You could try ice packs on the affected area after training to stop any inflammation too.I don't know if this is a stupid suggestion or not (which probably means it is) but before squatting would it be worth doing some light curls to warm up the bicep tendons a bit? If nothing else it'll pump up the gunz a little! EDIT: Milsy you t**t! I was hoping that I'd cottoned on to something ingenious and you go and type it first!!! | ||

a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq | take you grip out slightly wider, and bar lower if you can. and get the missus to need your trice[s, biceps, forearms and shoulders to help get rid of the scar tissue build up and hence releave the tension. start doing should stretching before you squat and after. this is what i would do, also cissus has also help a few here including me | ||

Neil- grip is already wide, I've got some cissus too (stopped my shoulder pain completely)- the missus massage sounds like a plan though Shoulders are pretty loose and pain free, been doing dislocates for ages, it's the lower bi's that ache. | ||

Full mask or nasal and chin strap? Member 3254, 2485 posts | Could you alternate from low bar to high bar Or front squat Then when you do low bar drop the reps for a few weeks? Just a few ideas from me... I reckon Millsy's ideas (that I pm'd him to say) will work | ||

I reckon Millsy's ideas (that I pm'd him to say) will work Got 2 weeks left in a program I'm running just now- might give front squats ago after that though, despite being awful at them.. | ||

Member 1255, 806 posts SQ 220, BP 135, DL 260615.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Standard response: -Take Cissus. -Wear elbow sleeves. -Wide as possible grip on the bar when squatting. -Thumbs resting on top of the bar when squatting, not under. -High rep curls and tri extensions. Orientate your palms with curls so they're facing forwards, outwards and inwards. I used to do 3 sets of 16 with each. -Ice afterwards. -Deep heat extra strength or Tiger Balm before and during. -Foam Roll. -Static stretching after workout. Although I would definately take the advice about front squats. I found the only way to really manage it was to stop doing the exercise which causes the inflammation. Front squats are a god send really. In the long run you would be better off sacking the last 2 weeks of your program off and subbing in front squats for a month or so. Then getting back into low bar back squats. | ||

Sugdens very own David Dimbleby Member 1403, 3716 posts SQ 220, BP 115, DL 260595.0 kgs @ 97kgs UnEq | Change grip to thumbless and move as them as far apart as possible and voila, they should not be supporting any of the weight. If they are then you are doing it wrong and will continue to get pain. | ||

Member 3344, 39 posts | if you think the culprit is squatting low bar, either do high bar or front squats with a different grip width, something thatll ease you. do this for a session or two, if the pain goes either stick with the exercises or work on flexibility or something, i dunno how to stop bicep pain. | ||

No one believed him anyway. Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 4251050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Thumbs over grip when squatting is nice... BUT Get more external shoulder rotation! If your shoulders aren't flexible enough to get into the proper low bar position (and they may well not be) what will happen is your elbow joint will make up for the rest of the rotation required to get into the position. This causes tendonitis like pain around the area in my experience... | ||

he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Ben, this is exactly what I get, and you have found the cause. Low bar squatting is the issue, and I see others have mentioned it causing pain on the OH stuff. That is where I found it most, especally lowering the weight again. My advice is: Do some light curles before and after, high rep, get the blood flowing cover the area in tiger balm, or similar, and put on sleeves to keep it warm Ice afterwards, then heat again take your cissus get some friction massage done on it, quite rough, thumbs right in folowing the tendon from the wrist to where the bicep head joins the shoulder (worth paying someone good, imo) lay off the low bar squats for a couple of weeks once you finish your program, a block of fronties would be a good option | ||
