I have in the past few days become painfully aware of how often we use our tricep muscles. From the moment we wake up till the moment our heads return to the soft relief of our pillows, we constantly are relaying on this ever so important muscle group. Everything from getting up, clothing ourselves, brushing our teeth, lifting things, pressing down on the soap pump, trying to cut an onion, putting on your seat belt...every action requires the assistance of our triceps. Now, as I carry on with these everyday activities, I am aware of their importance. Everytime they move, a spasm of pain ripples through them. Often, an action will result in waves of pain as different parts exert themselves at different times.
You might ask, why the sudden body awareness? One word...judo. No complaints, it was one of the more interesting, exciting and full-filling ways to spend a Saturday afternoon. If anything, hindsight tells me I probably got too excited and forgot certain aspects of the techniques (I probably lifted my opponents during my throws instead of pushing them). But for now, until I can dress and feed myself painlessly again, I will stick to just visualization techniques.
