Your biceps may be sore and difficult to straighten due to muscle fatigue and micro-tears in the muscle fibers caused by overexertion or intense exercise. This can lead to inflammation and pain, making it challenging to fully extend your arm. Rest, proper hydration, and gentle stretching can help alleviate the soreness and promote muscle recovery.
