« on: July 29, 2016, 06:55:11 AM »
I have been doing alot of extra tricep work to try progress in my pressing movements. It seemed to help for a while but now as result

I Always get this joint/tendon inflamation when I overwork... sucks because I would be alot stronger if it didnt prevent me...

Stay away from skull crushers and do triceps after chest when its pre exhausted so you dont have to use much weight.

Heavy skull crushers? I haven't seen a pro do skull crushers since they wore spandex on ESPN.

Skull crushers are the worst for triceps in terms of tension on the elbow.

When I do them, I do them last.

You could easily get bigger and stronger triceps with close grip bench presses.

Elbow pain can also radiate/originate from the shoulder.
I had it so bad that I thought I had a severe tennis elbow when in reality something was of in my shoulder which stemmed from years of playing guitar the wrong way and mouse clicking  :D
I had several trigger points in various muscle groups and a severe tightening in the muscles of the "shoulder-complex" which caused a mis-aligned elbow joint and thus pain.

According to Louie Simmons the elbows should be worked hard with light high rep "rolling tricep extensions" which can have a "healing" effect.

If you want to bench more then work on your bench load up the bench and do heavy weight from lockout to half way down then lower the weight and do rest pause on your chest and only go half way up, do this for flat and incline and for your triceps do weighted dips and close grip bench press, you should see a difference within a month.

you plateaued and it's time to switch it up. Variety. That's the beauty of bodybuilding, you can be versatile. Other sports are much more restrictive.  :)

Don't be stubborn and push it, it never works.

I used to have pain in my elbows.  Doing pushdowns first, then extensions afterward fixed the problem.

Stock up on Knoxx Gelatin. Powder form ,add to water or juice stir and pound the whole packet down. I had tennis elbow and other joint pain. This is the fastest relief and cure to the tennis elbow. Mine was so bad I could not hold my fork and bend my arm to eat. I took one Gelatin pack that same night, the next morning I had full mobility, in just two day I could do any exercise with out pain. I still use it when I know I am going to lift heavy in compound movements. Once before my workout then later that night. It really works.

pain is where the tricep tendon attaches to the elbow.



Try lying triceps extentions, but do them like a pullover and get a good stretch. Emulates skullcrushers, but due to the lying position it does not put so much pressure on the tendon in the extended position as the arm is not fully flexed/bent. Really works the long head of the triceps. Works for me, and I can certainly not do skullcrushers.

go to big 5 and get some below pads. they are like wet suit material. get em sized tight. like ronnie coleman wore. i ben gay up my elbows, put on my pads, put on a hoodie. start warming up. i wear the hoodie zipped up for exactly 20 minutes, then take it off,
have a nice sweat going, elbows are warmed up really good. fuck the motherfuckers who say don't do skull crushers!!!!!!!!!! best excerise i do for my triceps. that and close grip. I'm stronger than shit. judo

Tendinitis. Painful and takes time to go away.

I avoid all pressing movements if I get it, they are what tend to exacerbate it for me. The shoulder and chest can be worked adequately without them, in the meantime it gives the area chance to recover. You wouldn't put out a fire with petrol would you?
