Hamstring Pop? What does that mean?

    Hello,

    About a week ago, I was throwing high kicks on the bag without a very good warm-up, stupid thing to do I know but I used to get away with it.

    Anyhow, as I launched into a kick I felt a pull in my supporting leg hamstring with an audible pop! It hurt at that very moment, it felt as though my hamstring wanted to cramp.

    I'm not having any real problems with it now, I can stretch it, I can kick with a good warm up, it does feel like it catches ever so slightly once in awhile but nothing like the initial injury. I'm just curious to know, do muscles make popping noises when strained, or was it a tendon? The area of the injury is dead in the middle of the back of my thigh.
