We all have them at one time or another, especially now days:p What I'm wondering about is, other than using Deca, what TOPICAL applications are you folks using on those elbows and shoulders pre- and post workouts? I would think some form of heat application pre workout would help warm those joint/muscles up. Post workout icing is damned inconvenient until home. would like some thoughts on this. thx.

I usually just use tylenol when I ache.

Lots of aches seem to disappear as I get stronger, but some aches get worse. If they get worse, I usually try to rest that area for a couple weeks and see if it goes away, if not--time to see a doctor! (So far they all have taken are of themselves!)

2x 500mgrs tylenol and some tiger rub.

Thanks guys. I guess I should have specified pre-work out. I was thinking along lines of a deep heat rub at the elbows or a shoulder to try to "warm" them up prior to lifting, just to loosin' them up. BTW, is tiger rub a drugstore or online buy, I's assuming its like icyhot, heat type? thx
