Too much weight, too much volume, not enough rest between workouts.
It's true. People often say that muscle recovery only takes 48-72 hours, so you can confidently train every body part intensely two or three times a week, but tendons need much longer to recover than muscles.

Once a week works best for me if training heavier.
