I lifted weights yesterday, mainly did curls from a sitting position with 20lb dumbells. I haven't done this exercise in years so I took it easy.
I woke up this morning unable to bend my arms without lots of pain when I bent my arms.
Not sure exactly if it was muscle or ligament that hurt, but after I progressively bent my arm over the course of 20 minutes, the stiffness and pain went away. Now they're just sore right above my elbows on the bicep side. I've worked out enough that I don't THINK it's muscle that's sore, this feels different.
In y'alls experience, is this because I'm a girl and need to beef up my ligaments a bit or does it sound more like a stretching after workout issue? Do ligaments even get stronger...sure they do.
