Then 2 sets of 15 reps of cross body hammer curls. Then every now and again an empty barbell for one ultra high rep set. Same for tris to ensure both sets of tendons are getting good recovery work.

Cheers Ken, will give this a bash.

Something else that works is the tenis elbow straps wrapped on the upper part of your bicep. I struggled with this pain for years and now it's gone since using these straps. Just get one that is more a soft strap rather than something hard.

I got some friction work done, started taking cissus and started doing some more bicep prehab work. Cleared it all up

my face was on fire Member 494, 2394 posts SQ 250, BP 150, DL 320 720.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq	i had similiar problems to you all earlier in the year was absolute agony to do any pressing or curling motions. i had tendinitis in the bicep but the cause was tight shouders and and chest musles forcing my bicep ttendon o stretch while squatting.

What causes it and what'll stop it? I used to get that last summer. It's mainly on the eccentric, isn't it? What fixed it was doing biceps curls.
