Strange question... how's your rotator cuff?
Rotator cuffs are notorious for "refered" pain, where the pain feels like it's coming from somewhere else. I had to have some of my RT tendons reattached, and when they bother me, quite often it *feels* like my bicep is hurting, deep against the bone. It's weird. |

I think it's okay. No problems benching and no shoulder pain.

I've suffered from a similar injury, probably from overdoing pullups and the rowing machine a few years ago. It's lower bicep where it wraps across the inside of the elbow onto the forearm. Still have issues doing pullups and reverse curls with a lot of weight, and I also notice it when holding a phone to my ear for a long time or similar situations where my arms stays bent at 90 degrees for an extended time.

Same here. Exact thing.
Mine will cease hurting after warm ups, but it comes back post workout. The first set of hammer curls will inflame it, but subsequent sets don't hurt. A buddy of mine claims its tendinitis or tennis elbow. I just keep an eye on it and massage the area where it hurts. |

Getting old sucks. I hate not being invincible anymore. I'm gonna have a friend look at it tonight. If he can fix it, I'll post the results. If he makes it worse, I'll post the results one-handed. |

A buddy of mine claims its tendinitis or tennis elbow. I just keep an eye on it and massage the area where it hurts. I've found that this is usually the thing that helps me the most whenever I hurt myself. Shoulder, elbow, knee. I find where the banged up tendon inserts and then where it is the most tender, and just go to town on it, I use one of the balls on the back knobber typically as I can't push hard enough with my fingers. It's the most uncomfortable thing, but always seems to help provided I stay consistent with it. I watched a video where a physical therapist described doing basically the same thing, and said it helps prevent new scar tissue and helps break up existing scar tissue so you can heal closer to normal. |

Lots of band work. |

Going to try some forearm exercises and cut back my pulling exercises for a few weeks. I put together some metal cabinets that must have had 8 million screws and I noticed afterwards the pain was gone for a while. Seemed like turning the screwdriver helped it out

Make sure you are eating and sleeping enough. Take off two days in a row every week from weight training.
If there are specific bicep exercises that hurt quite a bit more than the others, refrain from them for a couple months. |

I'm just gonna keep massaging the area where it hurts. I really use firm finger tip pressure on the precise area...it hurts like a mother when I do it, but it helps significantly afterwards. If my guy ever shows up, I'll let you know. He's a chiro (which I don't personally believe in), but I told him I'd give it a shot. |
