I'm recently experiencing elbow pain when doing tri's, especially when going skullcrushers. anyone know of a good product/advice to use to take away the pain?

I get that too, but mainly when taking winstrol or on letro. I find Omega 3/6/9 supplement really helps, I have added MSM to my list of supplements.

Arthro guard and omega's helped my joints.

By elbow pain you need to be more specific. Is the pain in the elbow joint or is it around or behind the elbow? Does it only hurt with tri's and not bi's? Is there any grinding, locking, snapping or clicking?

If the pain is in the joint then a joint supplement may help, if its behind the elbow (triceps tendon) then dj is on the right track. Start out with some light warm up sets of pull downs or something of the like before moving on to heavy skullcrushers. If the pain persists then get a chiro or other suitably qualified person to take a look at it.

Um, but im scared of needles...

Hi Spike, i dont feel the pain in the joint, its more around the elbow. it husrt mostly with big pressing movements, tri's is where i feel it the most, the rest of my movements are not bad at all. no grinding, locking snapping or clicking at all.

got myself some joint sups this weekend and will keep an eye on it, thanks for the advice! Warmup is also not something i focus too much on and will do that too!

thanks again all!

well the joint supps wont do too much if the pain is focused outside the joint. Most likely cause is a tricep tendonitis/tendonosis. Warming up the muscle will help, as will ice post workout. Eccentric type exercises can be used to strengthen the tendons eg focus on lowering the weight slowly. Otherwise make a trip to your chiro and get it seen to

And when I'm in Karma Sutra position 12 my neck keeps going into spasm-Spike??????

Only thing I've ever used that helped miraculously with elbow pain was NPP. Icing until numb makes a big difference, but NPP is a miracle worker for knee and elbow pain

yohimbe: you're doin it wrong

sting: it could be some hypermobility in the lumbar spine, this can often be the result of overcompensation for a segmant that has lost mobility and become fixated... Just a possibilty. But so long as its not causing pain i wouldnt be too concerned

Hey Etwa.

I've experienced a similar problem as with regards to the elbow pain.I found the pain to be more on the long head end of the triceps. possibly some weakness there?

i find that doing some light - moderate sets of kickbacks before moving on skull crushers or laying french presses helps prevent pain.

When you feel like giving up, do two more...

You especially get that from too heavy lying tri-extensions/Skull crushers. And that is also the reason why doing an overhead tri movement in your routine is so important.

@Spike: Its pretty much closer to the elbow... the muscle under the forearm bone.
If i look at the below image, i think its the Flexor Digitorum Profundus Muscle OR probably more the Flexor Carpi Ulnaris muscle....
PLEASE HELP!

well mr sa my suspicions are that you have a bit of medial epicondylitis or tennis elbow, but only an examination could confirm this.

Um, but im scared of needles...

Its a possibility... The medial epicondyle of the elbow is where all the flexor muscles of the hand and wrist attach. Tendonitis is a possibility, as is inflammation of the teno-osseus junction (where the Tendon inserts into the bone) which is on the medial epicondyle. Associated with this can be myofascial trigger points in the involved muscles... Tho like I said, only an examination and palpation can be certain. Whereabouts are you situated?
