Monday I had my free training session at the gym. Before that it was running (one 5k under belt, another on Sunday) and pushups, crunches, etc. I figured it was time to mix in some weights.

We did an upper body workout of "super sets." I was sore but not ridiculously sore. I did the same on my own this morning but did not think I killed myself. All day since then, I have a hurtful of pain when I straighten my arms - just at the connections of my bicep and forearm muscles to the joint. Have been stretching all day - not unlike sticking your tongue in that sore spot to check to see if it still hurts.

I am sure I didn't permanently harm myself and this is the effect of not doing any heavy lifting for say oh 44 years. That said, if anyone has any good advice on stretching or lifting, I would welcome it.

Thanks

Ugh. No advice here. I say just keep trying to stretch it however you're doing it. You just over worked a muscle group you apparently haven't worked in a long time. Be prepared to be sore for a while.

Seriously just stop being a little girl

What is the point of your posts any way? You're very rude and obnoxious for no reason.

Give it at least a few days and you'll feel a lot better. I find doing some light cardio or something can actually help. Moderate use. Nothing's really going to work 100% other than time and rest.

Ibuprofen is some good stuff.

Thank you for the helpful suggestions.

To those that were not so helpful, I hope get as much as you give. Karma's a *****.
