My tricep is twitching.

RasPlasch · 08-25-2007, 06:15 PM

For the past 2 days a small part in my tricep has been twitching. Why is that?

ReproMan · 08-25-2007, 07:00 PM

Is your skin turning green?

RasPlasch · 08-25-2007, 07:14 PM

Nope...

ReproMan · 08-25-2007, 07:15 PM

Usually twitching muscles lead to this:

Sounds like you're safe.

RasPlasch · 08-25-2007, 07:22 PM

Hahaha.

Is it from over training?

Considering your utterly brief and non-descriptive post regarding the problem,

Only God knows.

and I mean that literally.

RasPlasch · 08-25-2007, 10:27 PM

I really don't know how else to describe it. A muscle in my tricep twitches every once in awhile....I don't know what else I could say.

ReproMan · 08-25-2007, 10:32 PM

I've had something similar before. My eyelid twitched for like 3 days. I'm pretty sure it's nothing serious and especially not from overtraining. I'm no doctor, but I'd say you're alright.

What supplements/substances are you taking

what is your training regimen like

are you sleeping lately

are there any changes to your diet/normal routine/environment/emotional health?

Usually twitching is caused by a damaged nerve, which is nothing serious at all. I've had it in my eyelid once for two weeks straight. Really fucking annoying.

Nate K · 08-26-2007, 10:36 AM

my muscles twitch sometimes for a day or two.

A friend of mine has facial paralization caused by a damaged nerve. It's not serious at all but aw so funny.

I'm like, "HEY, watch my muscle is twitching. Look at it." Then as soon as do it stops.

Then I'm like, "HEY, watch my muscle is twitching. Look at it!!! " It stops

Then I'm like, "HEY, watch my muscle is twitching. Look at it." It stops

That's the only way to make it go away. I hate that.

Ahh! That happened to me too, and my friend didn't believe me that my tricep was twitching.

Little Wing · 08-27-2007, 03:18 AM

it was happening to me last night when i took a plate of food in to Tesla in her room. the bowl on it made it sound like i had parkinson,s she said. n yea sometimes "hey look" will make it stop

Delusional · 08-27-2007, 08:40 AM

ive had this happen to me recently except it was up near my shoulder blade. just a little dime-sized area that i could see and feel twitch every 5-10 seconds. although annoying i eventually got used to it and it was gone the next morning. i also didnt die or lose my arm, so its all good.

Semper · 09-08-2007, 04:22 PM

It can come from nerve damage, overtraining, or lack of electrolytes ( usually potassium). Sometimes people will take a multivitamin or eat a banana and it helps.

shiznit2169 · 09-08-2007, 06:26 PM

Ras,

It's pretty common. My triceps and eyelids twitch once in a while for a couple days. I have always wondered why it did that and i figured it was because i must have strained too hard or overtrained. It doesn't seem to be serious though. It'll go away soon.

DanK · 09-13-2007, 01:06 PM

I get the twitching in my left forearm and right quadricep a lot, I agree that it's probably a nutrition deficiency of some sort. When it starts up it generally persists off and on for a few days and it's weird, but it's far less annoying when you realize it's not a precursor to stroke or seizures etc.

as have i. lol. you feel like everyone thinks you're winking at them.

Shiggity · 06-08-2008, 08:25 PM

Working out your left arm and shoulder can cause irritation in the brachioplexus, the nerve carrying signals to the tricep. Try putting a heatpad over the front of the shoulder and upper arm for 20 minutes to see if the twitching stops.

None of these games will make you faster, stronger, leaner, or help you in any way, what they will do is make you choke yourself with boredom. UPDATE Block Insanity may entertain you, and quite possibly if played rigorously for 20 minutes a day, may assist in weight loss, so try it damn it!
