sleeves tend to help me but after about a month they break in and are no longer affective. I see power lifters using wraps but seems a bit restrictive and overkill. anyone have any ideas? maybe a good brand of sleeve?

elbow wrap or sleeve for tendonitis

Yea, back off. Focus more on flys for chest, lower weight and higher reps on pressing and press more infrequent.

YouTube "Voodoo floss". It was nothing short of a miracle for me when nothing else worked on my golfers elbow.

I've had a pair of STrong elbow sleeves for awhile. They've been holding up pretty good for me. I don't know what brands you have tried, but if you haven't tried the strong elbow sleeves I'd give them a shot.
Also, would find out the root cause of the tendonitis and fix it. I used to have horrible elbow tendonitis and it got to the point where even outside of the gym it would hurt bad without even doing anything. After fixing the issue I have yet to have it come back and I'm training just as hard as before.

How did you fix it?

I ended up finding out it wasn't as much from my bench as it was from squat. So I let the tendons recover, then changed my squat form to take the stress off my elbows. Went back to training normal and haven't had any problems since.

I have the Mark Bell elbow sleeves and they hold up well. SBD makes amazing sleeves that don’t stretch. My training partner has some that are 4 years old. They holding up nicely.
I was about to tag you lol

Yeah the SBD sleeves are crazy good on my elbows, I dont bench without them anymore.
was pain free for a while i had prp shot in the elbow and took a month off and now a year later its coming back. ordered schiek sleeve before anyone replied so hopefully it will be ok.
as far as the root cause probably wear and tear from being almost 50 and the elbow bone seems to have grown over the years. right elbow sticks out way more then left, doctor said a lot of calcification where tendon attaches also.
so this is a therapy you do outside the gym or do you also wear it when you lift.

I have had terrible tendon pain both arms. All started trying to low bar squat and got worse from there could hardly bench because of it.
I use Mark Bells Strong sleeves and love them and wear them all the time. I went to a PT and he did Shockwave therapy on both arms and I have had great success with it where others havent. So much so running Smolov JR right now benching 4 days a week and minimal issues other than the obvious overuse lol.

Edit Double post for some reason
It's your tricep tendon just above the elbow attachment. Same issue for me, began as tendonitis and aggravation, eventually detached fully after falling on it one day.
PRP is a joke and absolute waste of money, been there and done that 3x prior to the detachment. One of the biggest challenges with it is gonna be keeping inflammation out of there. I've found liquid turmeric daily does seem to help, also HGH.
Find a chiropractic clinic that does ultrasound therapy and try to have regular ultrasound sessions done 1-2x weekly. Mine charges me 14$ per visit, it does provide relief though and it stimulates blood flow to help the healing process. YOU NEED BLOOD FLOW in that area or healing is impossible.
So just think MOVEMENT rt now, not lifting tons of weights. If you are able to limit a pressdown or overhead press to using a 5lb dumbbell or something super light then do that for like 100 reps/set simply to get the blood into the area. Also rearrange your training to where you may not come back around to using that tendon for another 5-7 days or so. An example of this would be:
Day 1: chest/triceps/delts
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: off
Day 4: back/biceps
Day 5: off
Day 6: either additional day off or repeat the week
I hope this helps

Agree and should mention Intake Tumeric Curcumin, Glucosamine, Fish oil everyday. On top of the shockwave another thing is band pushdowns 3 or 4 sets of 50 tobget the blood flow
