Hi Guys and Gals,
I'm starting to train again for comp season, and I'm starting to get a nasty pain in my right bicep. Kinda feels like it's tearing.
I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before, and if so were they able to get rid of it.
I'm not sure if it's tendon or muscular related, I'm hoping there is a more seasoned boulder..er out there that can give me some pointers. It started to happen last year but it didn't get that bad since I was climbing lower grades  But now since I'm climbing harder (yay) it's starting to get pretty bad.
Should I just take some muscle relaxers and suck it up haha

Otherwise see a PT. Maybe oncehardman or physiochick will come in to this thread and save the day.

i read an intereting aticle in rock & ice (spring 08-? the health issue) about a new or wierd bicep injury that seems to only effect climbers. is the bicep pain down closer to the elbow? the article was stating that there are some stretches and exercises one could do to ease the pain and it also said that this is a "new" kind of injury so not much is known and there is ongoing research into this injury.

the thing about training is that though its good to torture yourself till you feel that your falling apart its also very important to take rest and thats the part that climbers hate. I hate taking days off from climbing but after you do you feel strong. Take some time, stretch it, drink lots of water and take Fish oil supplements for healing soft muscle tissue. Also dont train when your at your limit. you need to still have energy otherwise you can hurt yourself very easily.
