Hi, I have a pain in the back of my upper arm (I assume this is my tricep) that means I can't do a pull up. It is in a large area towards the shoulder, and not near the elbow.

It has no impact on dead hanging from a campus board, just if I pull up.

The only thing I have changed in my training is adding press ups to my warm up. But I can still press up fine with no pain.

Any clues? Thanks.

How was Swanage Dave?

In reply to David Coley:



For diagnostic purposes, are you still able to knock one off?

In reply to David Coley:

Correct the tricep is at the back of the arm but why would that cause problems for pull ups

In reply to The Lemming:

Only one, just. Normally I can do ten.

In reply to Sean Kelly:


Perfect. Warm. 4 new pitches climbed.

In reply to David Coley:

In case it is important, I also get a pain in the triceps in the same arm if I clasp hands behind my back.

In reply to David Coley: Obviously your injury hasn't hampered your climbing that much!

In reply to David Coley:

Doesn't sound like triceps to me.

Went to a physio: small muscle on rotor cuff

In reply to David Coley:

Any idea what you did to cause it? Has the physio given you guidance on how to manage the damage?

In reply to BGG:
