Painful elbows

[Camzilla]

Anybody ever had any elbow pain? Im talking about right on the tips of my elbows. Started feeling it during curls today, on the first set. Weird for sure.

[sofargone561]

yes sure i have to be careful with certain arm work outs for some reason i get this as well

[Camzilla]

Sorry yours hurt as well, but glad its not just me. Really weird. Kind of a stinging pain. I think I need to warm up more before starting my workouts.

Sux bro. Any pain that limits movement is maddening. Mg answer for everything lately is ART. Find someone and at least call yo ask about it.

[Camzilla]

Whats ART?

Active release therapy.

I've been limited in the gym for 2 months with a bum elbow. I aggravated a bone chip in right elbow doing curls that resulted in an infected bersa. Swole up the size of a golf ball and had to have it drained twice. Waiting til after new years to have it cleaned up with surgery. F'n sucks... Looking forward to Feb. so I can turn it up a notch in the gym. You don't really think about what effects a bum elbow will have on your physical activities.

Active release therapy.

You mean like getting a handy J?

Lol nice.

I think its more of a forearm issue. Gonna look at some anatomy pictures and narrow it down.

Sounds like triceps tendonitis. This will especially be aggravated by skull crushers and barbell bench. I've had this for a few months. It's from going too heavy, too often, and not recovering fully.
Hey Cam, I'll respond to your PM as soon as the system will let me, guess I need at least 15 posts, almost there :-)

Here's a vid of Dennis Wolf getting Active Release Therapy. Check it, I've heard lots of good things about ART, especially good for what we do to our bodies in the gym.

All you guys should be supplementing with glucosamine regardless if you have joint pain or not. It prevents and heals too an extent. You can buy it anywhere in the vitamin aisle. Problem is takes about a month too take full effect. But for the price and the benefits it well worth supplementing in your daily intake. If that doesn't work try the above methods or see a doctor. Good luck bro and bros.

Other thing that I've seen work is wrap your elbows but put a maxi pad in there against your elbow. This will help with the vaginitis.

[Lilwayne]

Pft. Lmfao smart ass!

[Camzilla]

Yeah, I'll try that one. I think you left some pads in my bathroom last time you came by Sis.

Is ART done usually by chiro, or do the ortho folks do it. My bi's are killin today so there is a good possibility I went a little crazy yesterday. Its speed week for me at 65%ish 3x12 on six diff isolation movements.

I do it as a six day split one week per month to really blast a particular area. I havent felt "in to it" for about 6 weeks so its been a little bit since I have done it. ART looks like it would be great!

[dontwork]

I don't think chiros do it. Usually a sports medicine type.

So you do the 3x12's for each muscle? What movements do you do for chest, for example?

[Camzilla]

I know im fixin to get flamed but one week a month I'll go full out on speed. For chest I'll go:
Incline db 3x12 - 30 sec between sets
3 mins
flat bb - same
3min
Decline - same
3min
Dips leaning fwd- same
3min
Flyes - same
3 mins
Push ups. - same

I never go above 65%, and I go as fast as I can on each set. Totally thrashes the muscles, and takes a day or two longer to recover, but I like it because it shakes things up. I dont think your body can ever get prepared for that kind of a workout. Truthfully tho, I have never been able to di a full workout, I always fail or drop weights somewhere along the routine.

[dontwork]

Interesting. I'll give it a shot.

[Camzilla]

Dont try my crazy azz stuff Bro, your killin it on yur own program!

Yur gettin it done son!

Still with 5S?

[dontwork]

No 5S for now. Last two weeks have been effed. The capper was going to ER last night. Either a bug or food poisoning got me so dehydrated I needed an IV. 4 liters later I walked out but still queazy. Lost 12 pounds. Half was probably water but still.

Sounds like tendinitis to me also. I had a bad case of that. Ghrp2 200mcg3xday cjc1295 w/o dac 150-200 mcg 3xday took about 3 months to clear up.. Blood work had my IGF1 around 380 I could find the exact number if anyone wants.

Damn Bro, hope you get to feeling better. Thats alot of fluid loss.

It comes and goes every so often in my right elbow. Annoying to say the least.
