Hey bro's! Gots me a little problem. I had some pain occuring in my left elbow, right ON the point of the elbow bone and just behind it while i was doing skull crushers...heavy stuff too (around 200lbs) for 4-6 reps. So i took 10 days off from the gym, and when i came back, it hurt even more!!!! So i'm into my second week back, changed to close grip bench press as it doesn' t seem to hurt that part of my elbow as bad. I'm confused as hell though when it comes to treatment. People tell me no ice, some ice, just heat, etc., etc., ...and i'm not sure when to ice or heat. any advice?
also i've been on the following supps for a couple years straight without missing a day:

Glucosamine/Chon./MSM
HLA (Hyaluronic Acid)
.....and i am wondering if some deca might help me get recovered from whatever the hell is going on in there? I'm currently on Test/Dbol...week 2. But i'm hoping with some advice from you bro's and some different excercise selection i can recover good from this, ....damn i loved those skullcrushers though! :) Thanks in advance bro's. Peace!
 
RICE
Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.

Go lighter on the sets. Also skull crushes are notorious for causing elbow joint pain. But yea, Deca should help and so will Test.

Thanks hulk i appreciate that advice. i'll get to it!
 
stop doing skull crushers until you tendonitis resolves

warm up- A LOT.

do light sets with both bi's and triceps before beginning working sets (3-5 sets 15-20 reps)

light sets means LIGHT, ie dumbell curls supersetted with tricep kickbacks starting with 5-10lb and slowing working up.

stretch in between sets.

and yes nandrolone will help, but you still need to rehab/retrain the tendon and joint

Thanks mac, solid advice. Will do!
 
if any exercise hurts (ie strains the injured/irritated tendon) dont do it, find an alternative motion and/or use lighter weight and "work the pump".

Anyone ever get a cortisone shot for this? I have had nagging tendonitis for a few months...actually more like 9 months.

I played 4 years of D1 football in college, and unfortunately I am very injury prone. I received quite a few cort. shots during my college career, and I must say they are really really overated. In most cases, the shot caused more discomfort for me than it did relief. :coffee:

Deca made me feel like a lubed up god, but it doesnt correct whatever is causing the pain. During my bulker earlier this year, and now my current cycle, I started getting tendonitis in my right elbow. It plagued me for nearly 5 months. I just had to break down and stop training my arms, because if you dont take time off... tendonitis is really never going to recover. That shit is a bitch.... :coffee:
 
I have the same problem...its also been shot twice...I use icy hot on the elbow and use a sleeve over my left elbow...I start out with cable extensions...most of the time skull crushers do nothing but agrivate the problem....

Yes deca wil;l absolutely help your elbow...but here's a few things you should realize as I am going thru it right now....

The deca at 400 e/w started to help me in week 4...but the problem is I wanted to do tren this cycle....but not with deca...I made that mistake..ONCE..

The deca messed with my drive...I still got a boner no problem..just the drive...

Now Ive been off for 5 weeks now....my elbow hurts worse now than it ever did....The deca masked the pain and i probably did more damage by using deca and continueing to do skullcrushers.....In fact its so bad I cant lift at all...The only thing that i can do is bent over rows on my smith machine..Thats it...

Ive tried everything and i mean everything.....i guess it rest...I hurt it over 2 yrs. ago carrying 2 sheets of 12' sheetrock and i slipped on a wet rock and jolted something in my elbow...

Im looking for DMSO as we speak...that used to help...just gives me a little bad breath is all..LOL
 
mac had great advice. follow it.

also, as immortalis said. cortisone injections are not magic. from my experiance, they are a temp fix, at best
 
Cortisone and even deca are only temporary fixes....once you stop either, the pain will most definitely return....try aflutop in between cycles, it helped me considerably.... everyone else has given some good advice... rest, train light, do stretches often throughout the day, and ice.

Good luck!
 
i went to the doc told him it hurt when i did curls he said dont do curls

fuckin prick i told him it wasnt funny so he sent me to physical therapy for elbow tendonitis, it didnt do shit. ofcourse he said it wouldnt doc said they cant do anything for tendonitis

well i tried something that fixed it in two weeks
that was 3 years ago and no pain since

http://www.jumpusa.com/dynaflex_powerball.html
mabey you can find it cheaper

started the exercise at about 45 seconds a day and then progessed to 2 minutes a day and in 2 weeks....pain gone

last year it was other arm and outside elbow instead of inside elbow
guess what??? it took 6 weeks but the pain is gone and none now for 16 months

its 20 bucks and if it dosent work for you so what but if its the miracle it was for me its worth hundreds

The truth!

I have the same problem as you,


And I hate it, skull crushers work great for my triceps,


Can/t do them now,


It may take 6 months to a year to go away, heal whatever,


I find myself doing triceps everyday now.

Where did you find it for 20 bucks? It's 39.95 on the site. For 20 bucks I would for sure give it a shot, though.
 
All of the above are the usual w/ tendonitis - I've dropped so much money on "fixing" it or at least getting the pain to decrease its not funny. The stuff I stick w/ is:

- MSM caps -- sometimes I get the whole MSM / Glucosamine/ Chondroitin mix, but always make sure its MSM.
- MSM cream (got this at GNC) -- put that on the areas that are prone to pain

Back off the stuff that aggravates it - this includes:
- skull crushers
- curls
- upright rows

- I also get pinches in my hand (obviously nerve related) when I do pull ups & upright rows due to that grip.

RICE -- lots of icing & stretching, cable work.

WHen its gotten real bad I switch my routine to be more core strength / stability oriented & lay off the bis / tris / shoulders work so much.

The other thing I wanted to note is that when you do have a recurring pain & you keep lifting, your body "learns" to lift around it, i.e. you establish new neural paths to do the same exercise but in a way that works around the pain. The problem is that if you start to force muscles to do things they aren't meant to do (i.e. different muscles engage to help support the weight that your pained muscles / tendons can't support), then other stuff starts to hurt and it just keeps propogating until you are all fucked up. I've been thru this recently where my heavy lifting started to really aggravate some long-existing rotator cuff problems, which in turn resulted in my entire back going into a spasm & pushing my scapulas out of place. They literally were sticking out & had to be pushed back in. I ended up backing off of all training for almost a month and now I stick w/ squat / push / pull 3x/week and do some light bi / tri work on the off days. But definitely refocused on core stability and staying within forms that dont' hurt. Otherwise I'm back out for a week.

Definitely interested in alflutop / adequan and have heard good things.

Another thought on using deca to help w/ the pain -- just make sure that your increased strength doesn't result in you lifting weights that exceed what your JOINTS can support (not your muscle, but your joints!) and aggravate them even more.

good points Sassy.
just rest that elbow and then no more elbow straining exercises. you want big horseshow shaped tris, do sitting dips with your feet and hands supported by 2 benches. almost zero strain on elbows. :chomp:

I agree 100% bro, all those shots did for me in sports is give me the tingles and numb feeling, I know thats what they are suppost to do. Then when you make a play (D1 Baseball for me) a certain arm angle for me, instead of shoulder hurting it would give me a sharp pain that was worse than my previous torn rotator cup. Sharp shooting pains, that last forever. Bunk shit, if you ask me.

i have also often forgotten its actually rice and not ice.
 
thats why i havent kicked in with drol because of the added stress on the elbow.....

afluetops is next for me
