Weird forearm muscle/tendon — what is this?
I’ve been practicing calisthenics for ~1.5 years, and I’ve had this since I was around 10, long before starting calistenics or any other sport. It has grown a bit since I started training, but I’ve only ever seen something similar on one other person in the calisthenics community, plus one guitarist.
This “thing” becomes very prominent when I:
flex both forearms
pull my fingers toward my wrist
fully flex all four fingers → biggest peak
do it with only my ring finger → still visible, but smaller
I’m curious about what this actually is anatomically. Is it a muscle, tendon, or something else? Is this a normal anatomical variation?
Any anatomy/calistenics nerds know what I’m looking at?
