Ah, the feeling of aching muscles. It’s like someone punched your biceps with raw dough and let it harden overnight. But what causes this epidemic? Is there a way to prevent or alleviate it? Allow me to enlighten you.

The Bane of Bench Pressing

Have you ever tried bench pressing? That activity where you are lying on a bench with weights hovering over your chest while waiting for that moment when all at once, gravity takes its full effect, crushing not just your ribcage but also leaving lasting scars by tearing up those triceps?! This is how most beginners perform their anterior deltoid wrecking ball routine, causing microscopic damage within the muscle fibers. Over time and recovery, these damages contribute to building stronger triceps as new proteins bind together over previous damages which swell up making sleeves slightly tighter than usual fit; try buying new ones.

But wait! There’s more!

Keep Rowing But Beware

While pulling back and forth on those paddles may pump blood everywhere from head-to-toe in tidal waves, they’re particularly rough on the forearms due corrosive latch during stretch which triggers exhaustion throughout almost everything except hair follicles (cue eyebrow workouts). Like bench presses having an excessive long recover period allows time rebuild damaged tissues however sometimes late reactions occur when attempting gentle daily activities such as opening doors makes one looks unintentionally dramatic flinching away clenching like a medieval knight joust rather than nonchalantly pushing them aside wreaked further discomfort towards musky arms.
