Member 4669, 61 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 280 635.0 kgs @ 92kgs UnEq	Whenever i go for heavy triples or singles, by biceps hurt near the bottom of the movement, to the point where im doing the slowest reps you've ever seen to ease myself into the bottom of the rep. Has anybody else experienced this and has anybody found a remedy? I was told foam rolling my chest might help.

Getting fat is just as dumb as using PED's Member 3387, 2532 posts SQ 275, BP 200, DL 290 765.0 kgs @ 114kgs UnEq	Just build them into your weekly routine.

It was caused by squatting with my hands to narrow which was over-stretching the biceps area. I moved my hands out on the squat and always warmed up with light curls and haven't had the problem since.

I get this a lot of the time in my left bicep, comes and goes, no real pattern to it and I do curls and chins every week. I thought it was just one of those niggly little things that couldn't really be sorted, you're basically squashing the bicep so it's bound to hurt, right ? I do what you do, lower it slowly so it doesn't bug me as much. Let me know if you find a permanent cure !

I haven't curled for about three years now, it took a while for the pain to go but I don't get it any more, I still do rows though.
