Tennis elbow on cycle

[NickHollywood]

I can do certain exersises without much elbow and forearm pain but things like tricep rope pulldowns front delt rqises and hammer curls I cant do at all, I also cant grip much at all with the arm this is happening in. It hurts right in the elbow. A week ago I took 4 days off and had a nice pain free workout when I came back but the issues started back up quick. I am 5 weeks.into a long estered cycle and do not want to take any more time off and would just like any advice, tips and tricks to work with this injury. Would a thick elbow sleeve help? Is it worth getting, if so which one. Any creams or supplements that help? I am taking alot of ibprofen a day, 3k mgs of glucosimine and msm. Also deca at 600mgs a week which I heard can help with tendonitis, is this true?

600mg is a lot and it will help but will mask the issue as well. Check out PRP and get some physio as it will only get worse if you keep lifting heavy

Unfortunately that's part of the price we pay to pick stuff up and set it back down hundreds of thousands of times over the years. If your just taking deca for joint support IMO your taking way too much. If not then ignore that statement. I to have elbow pain and I know it's from when I use to do super fucking heavy skull crushers with the bar and Dumbbells. I use to take stuff called super cissus that worked well for. Then finally I just cut the super heavy shit.

AAS tend to worsen clinical features of tendinitis, NOT improve it.

Spend some time on the net investigating the CAUSE of TE
which is almost always associated with OVERUSE.

Posted this in a golfers' elbow thread not long ago. I did this during a Test blast and missed 0 workouts. Been lifting 4-6 days a week since then with no serious flare-ups. It includes the elbow sleeves I got. They aren't super thick, but are plenty to provide a little compression and plenty of moist heat. If you do anything, I would get the counterforce brace. No bullshit, I keep one in my work lunchbox in case I get any random pain during the day. I pop that think on and it halts flare-ups before they get acute.



I've had elbow tendinitis off and on for 30 years. I triggered it most recently by doing too much heavy grip work (deadlifts, farmer's walk, rows, pull-ups). Once it flared, it became impossible to do any underhand movements (aka curls) or heavy grip work. It took half a year, but I knocked it down to nothing, while continuing to lift the entire time.

1. Completely stopped all underhanded movements (including curls); I could still do neutral grip movements, but didn't do hammer or overhand curls since these still aggravated things (just not as much as underhand).
2. Bought Nordic Lifting elbow sleeves, and put them on 30+ minutes before every workout (incl. legs).
3. Bought Versa Grip Pro grips, and used them for every single pulling movement (rows, cable work, deadlifts, ...).
4. Bought DashSport counterforce straps for both forearms. Wore one set during every workout (incl legs), and another set for daily use. They stopped making the exact ones I got, but there are other ones with a similar design (needs the gel pad to press down on top half of forearm).

#1 to #3 halted the flare up and slowly let it recover. I didn't do #4 until months later, and within days it completely knocked down what was left of my flare up. I can't describe how impressed I was by the straps. When I feel a flare up start now, I put the strap on and it is gone in a day or two.

I have bad golfers elbow in my right arm. Sleeve helps at times when I have it all pissed off from overuse on specific lifts I know I should avoid but don’t always. What’s helped most is active release by a massage/sports therapist. She uses essentially small foam roller device and hands to smooth out scar tissue. Hurts like hell when she is doing it, and typically if work out same day, it’s more sensitive and wear my sleeve, but then typically feels a ton better for a few weeks at a minimum—longer if I’m smart and don’t go too heavy on bent over rows. Active release has proven amazing for me.
