Have been out for two weeks. Right elbow...outside where forearm muscle meets with lower tricep is killing me just to straightewn it out. Tendon?? What do I do. I have to get back in the gym. Felt it pull when I was pushing 415lbs on incline press. Also, have been off of deca for 1 month and pain has obviously gotten worse. What do you suggest???
I have the same thing... if flares up once in a while. The only thing i've found to help was that i stopped doing cable pushdowns, and changed my benchpress form so that my elbows are tucked tightly into my sides at the bottom of the movement.
Like when doing close-grip bench...correct?Quote:

Maybe someone with a medical background may be able to help you without actually checking you out in person. Youre nowhere near the level of someone like Tom Prince yet, but using him as an example, he had a bad elbow amongst other things and it wasnt the gear that ruined his kidneys, it was the constant use of painkillers.Quote:

Would this help to protect your kidneys?
Just an idea...
I do take 1000mg per day of milk thistle though.Quote:

I had the same thing after doing heavy incline d-bell presses (where it initially hurt), then hung them to my sides and shrugged them a few times before setting them down. Tore something on the outside of the arm, and it takes quite a few weeks to heal w/out activity. With activity it's going to take longer. Lots of ice and heating pad alternated works well.
If you are not already, I'd use a chondroitin/MSM/glucosamine stack w/unflavored gelatin thrown into your protein shakes.

Forgot about glucosomine stack. Thanks P.I.M.P. S.C.Quote:
