  1. Hello Sir, Sir when i i train bicep, the next day i feel really great pain between my arm and bicep. Possible causes of this and solution will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hard to say. Could be that you are lifting too much weight too soon and the muscle is tearing. It could be caused by over training the muscles, and developing tendonitis. Advice on LiveStrong says to rest the arm for 3 weeks, then ease back in with warm ups, stretching and go easy for a while. If it continues, get help from a sports physio.
