a week ago on wednesday, i was doing hack squats on a hammer strength vertical hack squat machine, with the handles at the sides. i was straining on my last couple reps, and somewhat curled my arm up, and felt my bicep pop. hurt like hell. only for like 5 minutes though.
the next day it was fine. til friday when i trained chest/shoulders/tris. when i was doing overhead presses, i felt my bicep pop again. this time, more pain. it still hurts now. it feels like a strain, but what do you guys think?
it hurts right at the insertion point of the bicep, close tothe delt on my right arm (more so on the inner head). it hurts to extend my arm fully, or to curl my arm up. the pain is mostly localized to that one area, but also hurts slightly along the inside head of the bicep.
i'm taking this week off training just to ice/use anti inflammatorys on it.
does it just sound like a strain? or more like a tear? (i tore my left bicep several months ago during a deadlift, so i know what a tear looks/feels like.. and this doesnt really feel like a tear)
sorry for the really long rambling post, just curious on you guys opinions.
Thanks in advance,
