Arm swellling and body building Posted: 04-30-08 02:19am
I am a male, in my early 20's, 5'9"
~145lbs with no history of health issues.
Last week I decided to get back into
working out after about 2 years off. I
headed to GNC and purchased a can of
"Cell-Tech", and a box of "Nitro-tech".
The Cell-Tech is a creatine supplement
which also contains the following
ingredients:
I was to take 2 scoops (or 100 g) of the
Cell-Tech (creatine) every morning, and
directly after workouts for 5 days, and
the Nitro-Tech just after every workout.
A few days into my program my left arm
(between the bottom of the end of the

It freaked me out a little because it
didn't hurt (only the expected soreness
after working out), no discolor, and I
know I didn't push myself that hard. Well,

It seems to me that 2 years out of
body-building made you “softer”. That
arm swelling could be due to muscle
extension. You can try resting that arm
for a while and wait to see what will
happen.
