anyways, I took a looooong break from working out (about 2 yrs) and I used to frequent here all the time on another account which I forgot. But my situation is as follows: Starting to get back into working out and was with my brother at the gym doing bi's/back and he really pushed me to my extreme limit (I know it was a bad choice) and now I am stuck with the worst case of doms I have ever had in my life. Primarily my biceps. Both arms cannot be straightened without horrible pain. Now, I have been taking protein each day and a teespoon of glutamine in my morning OG, and this is the third day with the pain, it has not lessened. What should I be doing besides rest and protein? Would icing be a good idea? Thanks.

-I dont remember if I filled out my profile on this account (I everyone used to be sticklers about blank pages) but I am an 18 year old male, 240lbs. 6"2

Warm bath... ibuprofen might help as well.... if you are really concerned (and it sounds as though you may be) see your doctor.

thanks for the tip, going to buy some strong advil right now (never even thought of it you are a life saver) will talk to my doctor if the pain continues for another 3 days.
