Well I got back about 2 weeks ago from a trip to Germany for a month with my family. I started going back to the gym on Tuesday. I was stupid and kept on going with the weight I had been using before I left and didn’t work up to it at all.
Now mostly my left bicep, chest, and left shoulder are extremely sore, like my left bicep hurts to touch. Am I right that this is because of me being stupid and not working up to the weight? Also any ways to get rid of soreness would be greatly appreciated.
I agree with forevernade. Just be cautious. Warm it up and stretch it out. If you have full range of motion, then its probably not a tear. After you are done stretching it and using it, ice it, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off.
My arm only hurts at the end when I fully extend my arm. Also it hurts to flex or stretch it out if I have had it folded up or if I was laying on it. The pain isn’t quite as bad(I think) so I’m hoping it will be gone in a day or two.
