Elbow pain....

Gents, if u bench do you factor in the weight of the bar? 2ndly, i am on my 2nd week of winstrol 40mg a day(and yes i have a test prop base) i havent bwwn getting joint pains or dryness, but have have extreme pain around my elbows. My worrie is that i am damaging my lediments so i basically want to know is this to do with the winny at all or might it be that i hurt myself? Just weird that its both elbows..

Hi andre, well the elbow pain is definitely from the winny. Out of all the DHT compounds, I find winny to be the most harsh on the joints. Winny suckes all the water from your muscles and especially joints so there is less lubrication in the body's pivot points (elbows and knees especially). I personally feel that winny weakens the joint ligaments but there is much debate about this as it has been known to have collegen rejuvination properties. Make sure you supplement your diet with fish oils (omegas) and also get yourself some joint support like arthroguard, arthrojoint, joint support formula (SSN). Another possible aid will be to include NPP in your cycle which has joint lubrication properties.

If its the winny,then i glad as i dont want an injury now after a long lay off due to back opp. Is there anything you can recommend for the pain. Ive got 2 weeks left so getting npp now will b a waste. Shot for the feedback.

Yeah, that pain is a killer hey. I find that once the joint has a bit more lubrication then the pain seems to subside. Firstly make sure you have added the joint support and fish oils, then if the pain still persists then possibly up your test prop dose....this will give a bit more water retention. I think you should only include pain killers as a last resort.

I'll answer the first question: Yes, you're lifting the bar as well, aren't you?

I only coiny the weights. Personally i think tjat just a false ego boost......no offense to the guys that do

any lifting sport counts the bar, its 20kgs... that's a plate right there, count it.

I've only been asked what my max Bench is by Non-lifters. And thats maybe once or twice a year. Only time you ever have to add the bar weight right? Normal training talk between partners is normally just the number of plates that go on.

OK, so since this pain in my elbows started, got the omega 3 and while doing any other body pART, NO PROBLEM. Did chest tonight and after my 3rd set bench i was almost crying.
So i reckon this is not the winny as i have no other pain.

My question is: why only with chest? The pain shot up into my bicep and some pain in shoulder. Pinned some voltaren as soon as i got home and still some pain.

Hope one of the senior guys can shed some light.

I have about 10 days left on cycle and dont know what to do as i dont want to aggrevate it anymore.

Is bench press the only exercise that does this? Other chest exercises? Bicep exercises? Sounds like it is more muscular than joint related... Possible a tear or strain, maybe just a myofascial trigger point... M<aybe a tendon strain or overuse injury

Hey Spike. I feel it while doing tri & bi, but its not painful. Only doing chest. This morning the all pain is gone though. If you bend your elbow its where your skin creases where the pain was. What would you recommend i do with the last 9 days of mu cycle?

Make sure the grip is not too wide. Elbows positioned correctly under the bar.

I HATE Anavar. It gave me the worst elbow pain as you describe here. Took a while to clear up. Anavar is worse than Winstrol.

Thx Jackr, but its the same grip ive used for years dumbell press does the same. Appreciate the input though

So hard to tell without having a look... Can still just as easily be a muscle or tendon issue
