The pain is slowing me down

[bismarckbensch]

I’m on a 12 week cycle using tren, proponaite and superdroll (hormone pills)
1ml of each every other day and two pills every day.
This is week nr 6 for me and all my joints is starting to pain. It only hurts at rep nr. 1 and when I PUT THE WEIGHTS DOWN. It hurts like hell.

Do you think the weights are to heavy for me, on Monday I Benched 140kg a personal best for myself and on the 3rd rep the joint in my elbow started to pain. Now every time I go to the gym it pains all the time. Can you give me any advice please?

Is it maybe the roids that I am using: scratch:Or could it be, that I am using to much at one time.
Thanks hope someone can help cause I don’t want to stop now

How much water are you drinking each day? I had similar symptoms and I just uped my h20 intake. That took care of it within a few days.

^^^agree^^^
What tren? A or E? (I assume it's A since you're doing EOD shots)
What are you taking to counter the superdroll sides?
Are you taking anything else, AI?
How much longer are you running this cycle?
Have you been taking all the compounds for 12 weeks together?

240kg bench is 528 lbs . That's a lot weight to do reps with . If your muscles grow strong faster than tendons and ligaments , You can cause serious damage .
I don't know about water post , but certainly cant hurt to increase consumption .
Go slow on increasing personal best's . Good form and compounded exercises a must . With huge weight comes huge responsibility . Good luck !

Jesus man, 240k is a load of weight. I don't think I could roll that across the floor let alone lift it 3 times.
As for the pain itself, it's probably tendinitis.
Best advice I can give is take a good joint sup like orange triad or animal flex.
Is there any swelling?

240kg is alot of weight! I will be benching that one day! Well maybe if i jab everything i can find i will be there next week? worth a try! LOL

I usually inject myself in the shoulder on a Monday morning before gym 1ml Tren 1ml Prop and 2 pills superdrol each day and then the same on a Wednesday morning.
This is all I use and I am half way through my cycle.(6 weeks) 6 to go.
My diet is like this,6:30am Kelloggs mixed with evox protein shake in the morning 30min prior to gym,protein shake 30 min after gym. 10:00am 4 egg whites and minute stake.12 I usually eat pasta with tuna or potato s with steak (mixing it up) and a shake.Then I eat 3 o'clock loads of vegetables and at 5 will be my last proper meal.

I had the same problem at 235kg Get some good elbow straps and dont go shy on the cash the cheap ones dont work, Dont try and go heavyer without some good straps or you could cause some serious damage. Recovery if your still gettting pain is around 10-17 days without weights on the elbows no pushing no pulling.

Hey bismarck here is the advice I have for you. I know exactly what your dealing with because I just had the same problem. I had to go to the chiropractor which is one thing you might consider. They can give you this little electro shock therapy on your elbows, im not sure how much that actually helps but you can look into it.

First off, what are your warmups like? you need to get some serious blood flowing throughout your body. You should get some elbow wraps and use something like aspercreme before you put them on. This will get some serious heat going on your joints. I would personally recommend laying off bench for a while. The bench press puts a lot of stress on your wrists because they are immovable and your shoulders are also in a locked position. Just forget about it for a while, it will always be there but there is no point in benching week in and week out trying to get pr's.

You should look into getting some flex bands, you can do all kinds of things with them that can get good blood flow to your elbows, very therapeutic. You should also look into icing the elbows after training. You can get ice wraps or you can freeze water into stirofoam cups, the peel back the stirofoam and ice away, very effective. You need to stretch a lot also. Stretch the triceps and the forearms, avoid supinated dumbell curls or barbell curls and any kind of forearm training. You will be fine but it may take awhile. Forget about lifting so heavy cuz it will prolong your injury. Trust me, you can still get jacked with band pushups and weighted pushups. Regardless of what you do, try not to do exercises that aggravate your problem.

Hopefully anything I said can do you some benefit.
Best of luck.

If anyone can help me, my thread is "newbie needs help" cycle advice, I posted yesterday.......

I definitely agree with GF220, take it easy with attempts to achieve your personal best and great advice with heating/icing.

The only thing I would add is that even small things like push-ups (close-arm and regular) will help get the blood flowing and to naturally increase the joint's lubrication.

Is the pain actually in the joint, or high in the forearm and close to the elbow? If it hurts like hell when you release your grip on the bar....sounds a lot like tendonitis. I had this and found that skullcrushers and straight bar curls hurt more than anything.
