Hello everyone, I recently changed my weightlifting program to focus on the eccentric contraction phase.
I have noticed that my left arm distil biceps tendon is hurting and Im having pain during biceps contraction and hand pronation/supination.
Tendon is still attached and i can feel it (stick my finger underneath it, etc) so I know its not torn but it does feel tender and hurts when I touch it.
I have laid off the training and pain is slowly going away but I wanted to see if anyone else has experience any similar issues.
I also wanted to see if there is any experience with increase tendon pain and injury due to the long eccentric (5 second) load.
I was not using very heavy weight (20lbs) dumb bell curls, fast 1 second concentric, slow 5 second eccentric, reps to failure (10)
But I was doing the eccentric with all workouts, chest, back, shoulders, arms.
Thanks for the input.
-Cheers
