Hello,
Super noob here. 25, Male, 245 lbs. Not very strong.
Overtime, what I assumed was just bicep soreness, I have realized is nothing of the sort. Somehow I had not noticed, until it got painful enough that I looked it up. What people said was Bicep Tendinopathy, was a different location of pain than what I was experiencing. In short, usually if I do some kind of pulling motion, whether it is pullups, barbell rows, curls, etc. a portion of my inner elbow becomes very sore and tender. This came to a head after some post injury rehab for my leg, my PT's had me do a 5-6 exercise bicep workout that left me unable to extend my arms for like a week. That was coupled with the fact that I had to do that same workout 2-3 times in that week.
The pain has never been in the distal tendon of the Bicep, except for that rehab incident. The pain has always been, including the rehab incident, deep in the inner arm somewhere near or inside the brachioradialis. Using the right arm as an example: if extended and palms up, it is to the right of the bicep tendon but not on the outside of the arm. Like I said, near the brachioradialis. Maybe even the brachialis. It usually is not debilitating, just a soreness. It's location and tenderness is what concerns me, especially when considering it is the only part of my arm or back that ever gets sore or feels worked after a rowing/pulling exercise. Is this a technique, grip strength issue? Where is this pain coming from? I am honestly very confused, and I cannot find anyone else dealing with this other tham tennis/golfers elbow and distal bicep pain, which is not what I have. Or at least that is what it seems.
