I've been working on pushups for a while, with a goal of 100 in one set. YesterdayI did a PR set of 75. My previous best was 60. I've become accustomed to feeling it in my triceps, chest, and shoulders doing sets of 30-40 reps a few times a day, but after this set of 75, I felt it more in my biceps than anywhere else. I did 40 reps, then kept my hands and feet in the same place and rested in the plank position. I finished with sets of 5.
Today, my biceps are very sore. Has anyone experienced bicep stimulation with high rep pushups? I suppose that they were working to stabilize the elbow and shoulder joints, and as an agonist to the triceps. Any thoughts?
