Thanks to everyone who answered. My shoulders seem to be okay now; this whole week there was only occasional pain when lifting and carrying something heavy for a while. I did three sets of overhead presses with 20 pounds and the shoulders didn't hurt at all. However, I'm still worried about my biceps. After I did two sets of bicep curls with 20 pounds with 15 repetitions each, the next day there was the same occasional pain coming from within the biceps. The kind of pain that I feel is not soreness that you get from working out the muscle well, but some other pain. Any ideas what it could be? Biceps tear, biceps tendor tear, biceps ligament tear or something else? My left biceps seems flatter and softer than my right bicep - left shoulder is where I felt the pain 7 weeks ago. However, my left bicep was always weaker and smaller than my right one, maybe that's why it's flatter and softer or maybe because of some injury. I have no problem carrying heavy items or flexing the biceps and there doesn't seem to be any deformity, like a hole near the elbow. Any suggestions are appreciated.
My workout: My workout schedule is training on Monday and then training on Thursday, then Sunday, then Wednesday, then Sunday. I take two days off between workouts. One day: Bench Press: 4 sets of about 15-20 repetitions Barbell Curl: 4 sets of about 15-20 repetitions Overhead Lift: 4 sets of about 15-20 repetitions Tricep Barbell Extensions: 4 sets of about 15-20 repetitions Flexor Barbell Wrist Curls: 4 sets of about 15-20 repetitions Extensor Barbell Wrist Curls: 4 sets of about 15-20 repetitions Wide Grip Chin-Ups: 4 sets of about 10 repetitions First I do a set of bench press, then after taking a 10 second break I do Barbell Curl, then another ten second break, Overhead Lift, and etc. After Wide Grip Chin-Ups I rest for about 2 to 3 minutes, and then I repeat everything again. I do every set of every exercise until complete failure. The entire workout takes about 1 hour and 30 or 45 minutes. I think that maybe I trained too intensely and I might have done some exercises wrong, where I was using other body parts to help me complete the movement. My diet: lol. I do take powdered protein before and after workout, but other than that I eat a lot of junk food and my cholesterol level might be very high. I started eating healthy last week but I should have done that a long time ago. Thanks again. |
| Mista Why not do legs and abs also. And why not try different presses / curls. |

Overtraining arms. Way too much in a week. You have tendonitis developing. Plus you have a shoulder overuse problem.
