HELP !!!! i have suffered this in my right fore arm and had ART and acupuncture done. hurts like f**k but the pain has gradually gone away. i think its a build up of scare tissue with all the constant heavy lifting that some of us do and the over use of the tendons. if you can get ART done then a good sprts massage in your forearms every weeks and acupuncture will help i think. if it hurst doing bicep curls either with a d/b, flat bar or ez bar the just leave them for a while also try front squats and i found that back squats agrrevated them a wee bit. basically anything that hurts dont do it for a fee weeks hope this helps

Hasn't always been a bench press specialist Member 44, 1907 posts SQ 252.5, BP 220, DL 210 682.5 kgs @ 83kgs Eq	guy said: im looking for some advice on tendon pain, both arms have been suffering over the last couple of weeks, its the elbow joint/ forearm-bicep area..... its now got to the point where my event training has just about stopped ! any ideas ? magic cures ? i have just got some prolab glucosamine & msn to try. but i will try ANYTHING !!!! HELP !!!! No magic advice tendonitis can be an awkward problem to recover from, to strengthen tendons you need to do very slow negative only exercises. For elbows use slow negative only curls, start with a light weight, hold it in a curled position and slowly lower it, when your arm is fully extended use your other arm to curl the weight back to the start position. 10-15 reps of this then ice the elbow.

Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225 495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq	I used to get it bad from back squats. I stopped doing them and stuck to fronties and it went away. not that useful a solution if youre a powerlifter though!

Member 143, 237 posts SQ 340, BP 245, DL 310 895.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq	I used to suffer from these heavily back in the days when I was doing 6 sessions of Judo a week on top of the weights, something resulting from the constant pulling. Whilst the only way to really cure them over the long term is to do the dedicated forearm/tendon work I found the easiest thing to do for short term relief during training was to use either insulation tape or a strapping of some form placed an inch or two from the elbow. Wrap it firm to tight and only do so for the period you are going to be stressing the area. My lifting kit always has a roll of black insulating tape in it for just such situations, its also great for just above and below the knee if needed. . . . . . . . . . . ps - It also helps for holding the hamster together

Anyway, when you back? "back" is a fluid concept... but back to adders will be next year! front squat PB!

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235 595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator	Things that help: 1) Wrist wraps, especially when squatting. 2) Widening the grip on the squat. 3) Use of ibuprofen about an hour before training commences (this helps stop the inflammation in the first place) 4) compression, as advocated by Andy. 5) Benching heavy either in the same session as you squat heavy (so inflammation not yet developed), or not for at least three or four days afterwards (so it's subsided). Things that are controversial, some people say they help and some they make it worse: 5) hammer curls These lists are not exhaustive. For me, (1) (3) and (5) are the keys, but milage will vary. Basically squats f**k your arms and benching makes you notice.

jonny big guns Member 592, 69 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 180 460.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq	I use wrist straps up the forearms for curls. I used to suffer a lot with shin splint type pain, especially severe when letting go of the bar. But wrapping forearms stupidly tight has helped no end.

I've got a brand new combine harvester Member 688, 192 posts SQ 230, BP 165, DL 300 695.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq	i had this a few times, best thing is stop training altogether for at least a week, keep the diet up, then carry on as normal, it still hurts the first few sessions but it soon comes round. look on the bright side, instead of training the muscles to grow, it will give the tendons a chance to have some nutrients and evolve to become stronger
