   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know this injury affects the triceps at the back of my upper arm, which helps straighten my elbow.
   • I know it may happen from sudden force, heavy lifting, a fall, direct impact, or a fast jump in training.
   • I understand a larger tear may cause bruising, swelling, weakness, or trouble pushing or straightening my arm.
   • I protect my arm from painful loading while keeping safe movement so the injury can heal.
