How To Prevent Biceps TendonitisLow back problems, tennis elbow and biceps tendonitis can become injury factors when improper form is sacrificed to heave heavier weights to get big 17 inch arms. While most bodybuilders will have varying opinions on the most efficient biceps exercise, many will agree that you should never sacrifice form for weight. Incorrect form does not allow progress because it leads to injuries such as biceps tendonitis. To avoid biceps tendonitis, stand erect when doing biceps exercises for big 17 inch arms. Do not lean back, and heave the weight, because too much momentum will be involved in the lift and clearly, not enough biceps action. Keep your elbows close to your side without lifting up the elbows. When the elbows come up there is a loss in resistance due to gravity. Also, when the elbows come up, full extension is lost, so the bottom of the biceps muscle will not be hit with the movement which could lead to biceps tendonitis. Biceps tendonitis may also result if the line of movement is not correct. Too few weightlifters in the gym pay attention to wrist position while performing biceps lifts. In order to achieve results from biceps training, emphasis must be kept on this muscle during the lift. But, when the wrist is bent backwards, some emphasis will be taken off the biceps muscle and shifted to the forearms. This will hamper your attempt to get big 17 inch arms and also lead to biceps tendonitis. Genetics can make a champion bodybuilder, but hard work, careful selection of exercises to avoid biceps tendonitis, and good technique can bring a biceps muscle to grow and help you get big 17 inch arms. |
