Bicep pain from practicing oppo?

[robokill]

Anyone else get this? Every time I practice oppo off a tee I get bicep pain after about 30 cuts.

using the wrong bat?

You're doing something wrong. Too heavy a bat/not enough arm strength, bad technique, previous injury...Video would help.

Using 26/27 oz bat so I don't think it's from a bat that is too heavy. Probably technique, might get a vid up eventually.

This happens to me when I use live pitching sometimes... It's improper technique. I think it's from over extending during the swing

i think you will find the trouble is in your forearm, i would do some forearm strighining exercizes, your bicep will get some needed support from the front

try those little triangles wrist squizers , also sit with your elbow on your knee with a bat in your hand and do windmills withnyour wrist. like a windshield whipper

another good one for forearm power, at wall mart get a wrist roller about $15.00 use only 10 pounds roll the weight up about half way to suspend the weight and roll the weight up overhand and backhand plus hold the bar like a bat and roll the weight up with your hitting motion

start with that and if the pain continues you might have a hidden injury and something could be really wromg

Yeah, that feels like it could be the problem.

Will do, thx.

If it hurts, don't do it like that.

a vid would DEF help! Which bicep is hurting by the way?

The right, top hand for a righty like me. Vid could be a while, but I'll do my best.

If you feel pain ....quit oppo...having torn both bicep tendons on each side...when you feel the bicep pain, the tear is not far behind. Just be careful. AS mentioned, it might be poor mechanics or the bicep may be strained from something else already. They go fast and surgery is not an easy option.

In most cases Hitting oppo requires you to wait till the ball is deeper in the box, hard to do with a T unless you move up. Do you have this problem when doing it live.

Yeah, I'm going to stop for a while and then give it another shot.

I do move up with the tee. Rarely get to hit live BP but I think I have the same problem, maybe a little less severe though.
