 Member 2730, 199 posts SQ 230, BP 160, DL 260650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | I've had pain in my left elbow for around 4-5weeks and it's effected my overhead pressing. I got it checked out today and they said it's tennis elbow.. Has anyone ever had this before and did it effect your pressing power? And how/if did you manage to train around it.. Got a comp in 4weeks so resting it is not an option just thankful there's not a max overhead. Thanks in advance for any replies! | ||

 my face was on fire Member 494, 2394 posts SQ 250, BP 150, DL 320720.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq | I have had it for years on and off. mine comes from s**t flexibility in shoulder forcing my bicep to take alot strain when back squatting anything heavy. pressing power is always down when its bad ways I have trained around it z-press but have the bar suspended by chains so the bar never comes lower than your forehead thus limiting biceps part in the movement. machines with a fixed path so you can concentrate on keeping the tension away from injured area. wide grip bench. doing some heavy shrugs if it really kicks off in the middle of a session can ellivate symtoms. best things I have done for it: rest stretch and rotate squat movements | ||

Member 2730, 199 posts SQ 230, BP 160, DL 260650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Thanks for the replies il get started with those exercises shown. When the pain is bad I can't hold a drink let lone lift anything but if hixxy gets it and can still press huge weight overhead there is a little hope for me yet lol. I had switched to smith machines and having bar a little higher than normal which has helped but I find if I push press and don't get the weight high enough my elbow just won't let me strain  | ||

Member 5058, 1 posts SQ 135, BP 130, DL 180445.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | I have a similar problem esp when overhead pressing, my bicep causes a separation at the elbow joint. the pain is severe and restricts my arm curls by 50%. I found that when deadlifting with a reverse grip in my left hand the rotation of my elbow and stretch of the arm combined gave me immediate relief that lasted for a few hours, I have it only in my left elbow . it took about 150k deadlift to produce enough downward pressure, its more to relieve the pain than a cure but if it helps to carry on training its worth trying good luck . | ||
