    My tricep is twitching.

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

    Usually twitching muscles lead to this:



    Sounds like you're safe.

    Hahaha.

    Is it from over training?

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

    Only God knows.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
