For me, it is my dominant arm, the right one.
4 weeks post bodybuilding competition, I was doing a push workout. I maxed out on db flat bench presses and even my coach said i had good form.
But later that night at home, i had a itch in my bicep/armpit area and i really dug in or something and it hurt really, really bad. Then another day went on and thought maybe i pulled my bicep, but no bruising or lumps in the area. It was really weird and would only act up on certain movements. So i didn't do any bicep/chest movements just in case.
Was able to get into my shoulder doc (he was the one that did my RC repair 3 years ago), and he checked me out and said he thinks it might have been a pulled pec muscle actually. Based upon the movements he had me do in his office. He said my bicep was fine. I asked him, isn't it torn when he did the RC repair, he said yes and that all he did was shave it/clean it up when he was in there. He said he didn't want to snip it.
When i was telling him what i did that day, i told him it was a workout. He asked what was i pushing like 20-25lbs? I told him that day i went up to 45# db. He said i shouldn't go that heavy and take it easy.
So i took about 2 weeks off actually. I did some light push movements this passed Saturday and did not go heavy. Whew. Everything felt fine and warmed up really good before the workout too.
I still don't know what it was, but whatever i took it easy and layed off heavy shit just in case.
