Dear Students of the Game, I hope this digital correspondence finds all of you well. In my on-going and perpetual desire to learn more about the game I love, I recently came across 3 resources that can best be described as “Hitting – How to Detect and Correct”. Those 3 resources are: https://goo.gl/gA1iXM http://goo.gl/29N0em http://goo.gl/zGPrJI Whilst I would truly enjoy reading everyone’s opinion on the “detect and correct” methodology, that is not the purpose of this post.

I have been doing some BP lately and whenever I try to do a heavy swing, I always get a sharp pain in my upper bicep that lasts for a few days then goes away and then comes back at my next bp session.

Strongly urge you see a sports medicine specialist. Let us know where you are from and I’m quite certain someone on the boards can at least give you a starting point.

I'm no PT, but if anything I'd do light weight or just skip biceps for a while. For years I was using 45's for bicep curls. Then one day my arm was sore and it kept coming back every time I worked out. I don't know if it was the curls or pullups (I stopped those completely). I started curling with 25's and haven't felt pain since. If you are feeling pain something is probably inflamed and heavy weights will not help. I'd still take Senna's advice and see a professional.
