Sore Triceps from Pullups

[Farksake]

Hey Guys,

Was doing a back workout on thursday and while doing pullups the long head my triceps started getting really sore . Now i've noticed they get a bit of work when I start fatiguing on pull ups previously, but this week it was agony, of course I kept going coz seriously screw not finishing my workout. They feel fine now but I want to make sure i'm not gonna do any permanent damage. Is this just a case of being fatigued from my chest/tricep workout on monday or should I be a bit concerned. Does anyone else find this or is my form just not quite right.

It isn't rare for me to feel my tri's on certain back exercises but it sounds like you're feeling it a little too much. Make sure you are pulling with your elbows, not your hands, this will lessen the involvement of your arms.

If you already do this it could be a flexibility issue. I don't think that it is from training other muscle groups. I can hit tri's good and heavy the day for back and doesn't worsen my tricep DOMS whatsoever

what are your pullups like? deadhangs ..............................or kipping styles? and how far along in your workout do you execute the pullups?

Dead hangs, and I usually start with pull ups. (after a small warm up). You couldn't get me do kippings if you paid me.

*UPDATE* Tri's were fine today, so hopefully it was just a one off. Cheers to people for their opinions/help. Back is now nice and thrashed.
