Helewu guys. I want to talk about my biceps.
I'm going to make it short. I've quite recently (4-6 weeks 4 days a week) been going to the gym and you know, working out, and I have a problem with my biceps. I feel like I don't have this "mind muscle connection" with my biceps. When I do the workouts instead of my biceps burning, my forearm gets sore instead, the only workout that makes my biceps burn are the cable hammer curls but I don't feel the whole bicep "ball" burning if that's what's supposed to happen. Also when I flex my biceps they get a bit bigger and I can "bounce" them and my right bicep is decent it gets hard but not rock hard. Except I can't even feel it getting flexed if that is normal, I can't feel my left bicep when flexing either.. But the biggest problem is my left bicep, yes it is my non dominant hand but it just feels like I can't contract it. I can make it a bit bigger but it still feels kind of soft compared to by right bicep. I wonder if this is normal and just the result of weak, not developed biceps. If it helps, I'm quite skinny and my strength is at least average, not more though and I'm going to be honest my eating habits are complete shit (not literally).
Also I've heard something about the forearms getting sore instead of the biceps is golfer's elbow but I doubt I have golfer's elbows since they are only sore during the workout and maybe a little bit delayed soreness on the forearms. And it has happened 1-2 times where I feel very little tingling in some of my fingers on the right hand during reps but they stop tingling as soon as I stop, so I just think that has to do with bloodflow. And my forearms these couple of sessions have gotten better and don't get as sore from bicep workouts.
So, is this normal? Am I overreacting? How do I improve this "mind muscle connection" etc etc?
