tendonitis acting up again

[double-leg]

So its acting up again and im really trying to stay on schedule so i droped down to eod routine 2 bp per day! It has subsided and i feel better. I have adjusted my diet accordingly. But i wanted to know from others that do a eod traing regimen. What can i expect from such a regimen ive always done 5 on 2 off so this is a first. Ive cut 700cals off per day.

I lift 3-4x a week, for strength, and there's nothing wrong with it. You could also do it for aesthetics if that's your goal.

Edit* where's the tendinitis?

My strength and physique really took off on EOD...monday-shoulders and arms, wednesday-legs, Friday chest and back.........koolio

Get a hold of some voodoo floss from Rogue Fitness and look up Kelly Starrett videos on how to use it for tennis/golfer elbow. It will help tremendously.

Also, do you do squats with an Olympic bar? If so what's your form like, low bar/high bar? Close grip? Thumbs over bar or around?

Yeah both front and redular squat i try to focus most of my tension on my legs but you are right i could be inadvertently putting strain on my elbows. I look those things up thanks for the info

The only thing that really helps my tennis/golfers elbow is using a wheel and rubbing my forearms as hard as I can where they are sore/tight.

Being on aas will only make your elbow worse in my opinion. I have been fine for 5 months natural and I just recently started my cycle than my elbows have been bugging me. I got some good Info from dr Jim on this also. Tb500 helped some, gh will also help. the best advice though is to try not to do workout that irritate it. Working through it will make it way worse!!!

pull ups are really hard on tennis elbow, I try not to do them to much. Or do them at the end on your workouts after your elbows and tendons are already really warmed up.

Also I used a wrist brace for a long time until it got better and that helped a lot.

If it starts hurting during your workout switch and do something else. lots of wrist stretching and massaging and u will

Where do you buy the tb500? i dont buy from peptide company!

Usapeptides. I wouldn't buy it again though. U get way more out of just taking time off, massaging, and stretching

With back squats, widen out your grip and do thumbs around the bar not over. Work on shoulder mobility. These things will help your elbow. If you have access to a buffalo bar or SSB try squatting with either of those instead of an oly bar

Voodoo floss has helped me a ton.

I've got issues with my elbow tendons too - outside on my right, and inside on my left.

Curious about the squat grip question - is that a source of problems? I use thumbs over, and mid-high sort of, I place it high, lift off the rack, and then roll it slightly back with my hands to a point where it "feels" good. Maybe I should have someone take a picture.

I'm off to Asia in a few days, will stay 10 days, will definitely get daily 2 hour deep tissue massage sessions. Those help. Also considering going to a clinic to get HGH shots direct into the tendons. Thoughts on that? 2iu every other day? Worth the effort?

Hgh helps a lot for tendonitis. is it worth the risks? if you're going to keep pushing yourself in the gym id say definitively

Thanks - to paraphrase Richard Moran, I wasn't looking for feedback as much as I wanted validation.

But seriously, I think 2 iu EOD should be "safe" levels. It's also only for little over a week, so 10 iu max.

Squat grip is a huge source of problems for elbow/forearm tendinitis.

Thumbs over the bar grip is better than thumbs around. Try widening out your hand placement on the bar. You'll feel less tight in your upper back but it shouldn't make much of a difference unless your lifting close to your max. Also, if you have access to a buffalo bar, SSB, or other specialty bar besides the Olympic bar these can help also.

Once you unrack the bar it should not move at all. Rolling down into your hands could be a recipe for disaster injury wise but also can exacerbate the elbow issue you're experiencing.

Not sure how much the hgh will help you in 10days. Probably not much imo. Another thing you can do is take a rubber band or buy a special very small resistance band specially made for this and wrap it wlaround the outside of your fingers. Then open/extend your fingers against the resistance of the band. This will work finger extension which never gets worked really and has helped some with the elbow/forearm.

Re the rolling - it depends on how it feels, maybe a slow half or quarter turn on the bar until it hits the "spot" - hard to explain.

I used a wide grip already, an inch or two inside the rack.
