I havnt been able to work out and have fallen out of the loop alltogether for about 3 years. 3 years ago (after being off for a year then) I went back to the gym (no aas) and my elbows were extremely painful. right at the back (tricep insertion i assume) and on the bottom side top of the forearm (tennis elbow) , hindering any pressing and pulling. after trying to fight through the pain i gave up. (yeah yeah i quit) it actually seemed to get worse. I couldnt drive, wear my leather jacket and hold my cell phone up to my ear without my elbow burning a little. yes yes, everyone should drive while on a cell
. So i finally couldnt take not working out and bought enought stuff to start at home last year. I started going once a week to my massage therapist for accupressure on my elbows(a little in my rear rotators also). in around a month i was pain free for everyday tasks and still am. but even when doing dumbell inclines with 45's now, it starts to hurt in the back of my elbow at around the end of a 2nd or third set. right elbow is worse than the left. I stopped doing skull crushers back then 
. just lots of kick backs which really helped. and i would combine chest and tri's and engorge my tri's with some light kickbacks before chest. try to do low incline presses and same angle fly's. but still if i got to what i consider a moderate weight it would hurt for a week after. so I could only work out if i was going to accupressure therapy once a week ($55 hr). but then i was limited to each body part once a week. Not quite enough for myself to justify AAS. (in my opinion) and ofcourse i wasnt wanting to add AAS to possible tendon problems, dont get that impression. so i ended up stopping. again.
Fast forward to a year later (today) and i cannot deal with it!!! I HAVE TO work out no matter what. I am 6'0 270 i basically look like an out of shape former BB. i dont look awful to people but it disgusts me to no end. side pec fat, love handles ect. I dont want to use AAS again until i get back into decent shape, even though i was debating 3-400mg of EQ a week for the collegen effects, with cardio and lighter weights and a strict protein diet to cut all this blubber off of me.
Biggest problem is I cant really afford accupressure right now. though as soon as that changes i was going to go for just accupressure (as opposed to the full hour of that and regular massage) twice a week for 20-30 minutes. My wife can substitute a little helping with accu. so i was thinking after some reading of trying light to med. weights, No skull crushers. no barbells, dumbells only. closer grip hands facing "in" style pull downs or chins. kickbacks, for tri's.....what else could i do for tri's? Hammers for bi's. lots of band work for the tendons/ligaments. and again, aside from the possibility of EQ later on, Using lots of C and fish oil. a good joint compound. getting some super cissus @ double dose for 30 days then regular. using stop pain 30 minutes before and icing after. getting some good neoprene sleeves. staying off the 800mg motrins i have a lifetime perscription for.(only use for severe knots in my neck once in a while anyways). never used anti's for tendons(duh). and ofcoourse a good 1.5 gal of water a day. My first goal isnt about mass obviously. I am concerned with gettin (hate this term) into really good shape. getting some muscle definition back. a little size will obviously come. getting back to around 7-8% BF would be amazing for me. as i said i'm not "fat" just out of shape now.
Any help, advise, new supps for joints, criticizms ect woould be greatly appreciated.
Its nice to see some of the same face from years ago here too. Used to come here(different name) . SORRY for the long read.
