Sore Bicep

[newbie]

I played 3 nine hole courses and 1 eighteen the other day and my bicep was very sore. That was the 1st time that has happened to me and I have played all these courses before so I was wondering if it was caused by something I was doing. I throw RHBH.

You might have been just trying to put too much arm into your throws. Then again, it could just be normal soreness. Sports medicine really isn't my thing, haha.

weird muscle to have get sore...when i was learning it was always shoulder and back that got sore.

From my upper peck to my should usually gets sore from making over 50 drives at the practice field. The only time my bicep hurt is if I do a lot of putting .

After playing 3 rounds my legs usually hurt the worst. Put some Flex-all 454 or some Active On , on it and it should start to feel better. After you use that stuff, just make sure you wash your hands before you take you next piss, or touch your girlfriend in any private places, or you will regret it.

That soreness will fade when your muscles get used to it. Proper form may help

Could be dehydration, or overuse, and/or lack of stretching/warmup, or your form might be off. I strained my bicep trying to throw lefty a few weeks ago although Im not sure if was just because Im not used to throwing lefty, or if it was form, maybe both.

That's what I thought....trying to think back to what I was doing that might have possibly caused it.

I did practice putting for about an hour on the last course.

It could be putting, and a pulled muscle if your follow through went too far and pulled your bicep

My bicep is the only thing that ever gets sore. I do throw FH though...not sure if that matters.

I consistently get sore in my upper pec straight through to my elbow. I know it comes from cranking the pi@s out of the disc. Every tee is a potential ace! My medicine for it is to go right back out the course the next day and throw even harder. I have been playing for almost seven years and it hasnt gotten better or worse.

I have that problem when I have not thrown in a week or so.

The bicep muscle CONTRACTS the arm...no extension, that's your tricep.

It's more likely a muscle imbalance. Try doing some curls.

Also, make sure you hydrate and maybe eat some protein while playing. Some jerky will do.

24 hours and nobody gave Midnight guff on this.

Then I too will not stoop to pervy jokes that are below the gentlemanly ways of this site.

Assuming it's your throwing arm bicep, it's probably from strong-arming it. You might be accelerating too early.

 

[ThePatrick]

The biceps and pec muscles are where a lot of your "pre-loading" comes from... The whole reach back and the first part of your pull (when you are pulling into your chest) use the bicep. When trying to really crank them, or from a long day of usage, the bicep can get really sore. Eat a banana, drink some water, and stretch.

Also make sure your back foot is popping up after release and you are following through correctly. The pec and bicep have to contract somewhat after the hit to keep from over rotating the shoulder and elbow. Letting your back foot pop up dissipates the post hit energy away from muscles and tendons.
