The old WCW wrestler Van Hammer lived half hour from here and I used to see him around in the same some years ago before he wacked himself out on booze and pills. He told me that during his wrestling days he used a lot of GH and it gave him pointed elbows too. It also gave him a severe case of CTS. He got a doctor to shave down parts of his elbows when they were doing surgery to shave the tendons in his forearms for pain relief. He said that cosmetically he looked fine afterwards and could wrestle again, but in actuality the surgery left him with severely weakened muscles and there were times even years later that he could barely grip bars in the gym. That is why he never did anything like preacher curls or pull ups. He said it basically ruined his wrestling career.
Who knows if he was telling the truth. He was out of his head most of the time and hasn't really been around since he hit that kid on the bike while drunk driving.
