    Whats with my tricep?

    I started noticing my tricep whenever I was doing overhead extensions it feels like the muscle in my left arm is just gonna rip away. Should I lay off my triceps for a week? Or is this normal for building muscle?

    Rule number 1 - if something you do causes you pain - dont do it.
    I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?

    Define 'ripping away'.

    The burn is natural, a tearing muscle is not.

    it was probably starting to tear, I know my body when something doesn't feel right I know I need to stop. I was even noticing it when I was stretching.
