Nagging injuries...

[bigguns15]

My biceps tendonitis is slowly getting better. I can still feel it when I flex my bicep, but it does not hurt near as much as it did a few weeks ago. I've still been putting heat on it, massaging it with ice, and massaging it with lotion. I'm dying to work out back and biceps again! Maybe this week. If not, it better be the week after! It's been too long!

You just better be careful I can't have you reinjuring yourself because you are overzealous!

I screwed my back around a month or so ago doing deadlifts with 430 lbs.

I usually try to get 8-10 reps, but felt tired and rounded my back on the second rep.

BIG MISTAKE


No popping sounds or tearing feeling, but something just felt wrong and I terminated my deadlift session.

For the next couple of weeks I had very minor aches in my lower back; nothing major.

I left out deadlifts on my back day but still did squats on leg day, just a bit lighter.

Last week, the day after squats my back started getting major pain and I still have it today, one week later.

I'm doing legs again in 20 min, but I'm only going to do very light squats for very high reps.

I hope it feels better. Be careful though. Back injuries are no joke.

Thanx bro.

I figure I'll do as many reps as I can with 225.

Hopefully, it won't stress my back too much.

Well. off I go.

Last time I did my back it was with a warm up set of 225. You just have to take squats seriously. I wasn't concentrating and slouched a little and that was all it took. Couldn't make it to work the next day because I couldn't get my pants on.

pwr_machine,

What exercises are affecting the area?

 

[pwr_machine]

I haven't done back and biceps in a few weeks. This evening, I did a few sets of dumbbell curls and worked my way up to the 30's. Light weight, but I wanted to see how it felt. It feels much better. Still not 100%. I may elect to rest it a bit longer.

It's the day after and my bicep feel ok. Yesterday's light workout didn't seem to bother it. It must be healing!

What about lying ticep extensions (skull crushers)?

What about lying ticep extensions (skull crushers)?

I have slight tendonitis at the back of both elbows. Lying tricep extension and pushdowns are pretty rough on them. I using do pushdowns with a rope, bench dips, kickbacks. The stuff that's easy on my elbows. My triceps aren't near as severe as my biceps tendonitis. I think it all stems from my few months of boxing earlier this year.
