Gotcha. Yeah I actually had a doctor I do some work for check it today and he confirmed it was tennis elbow. Guess I'll take time off upper body and just do legs a couple times. Thanks manMake sure it's not anything more serious & rest it for a week , if it still hurts rest it another week . Seems like a long time but I thought I had tennis elbow 2 summers ago & thought I would just tough it out , I tore my triceps tendon in right arm while hitting a double with 415 . I was out for 4 months & then super light lifting for another 3 months . So better safe than sorry go get that checked out & take it easy till you know for sure .

ART ? I'm racking my dam brain here , lol , help mebicep tendon pinched in the rotator cuff or upper back...get some ART....it works...
What's funny is I have something that keeps pinching in that same shoulder. It's in my back, right at the top corner of my shoulder blade. It helps a little when my girl does skin rolling over it. You think that could be the real problem?bicep tendon pinched in the rotator cuff or upper back...get some ART....it works...
Active release techniques. I don't know much about it. Sucks because I don't have the dough to spend on it.ART ? I'm racking my dam brain here , lol , help me

Got it , kind of like a mix between a massage & a chiropractor. I use a lot of techniques from the supple leopard for mobility that seems to help me with joint issues, also alot of good stuff from Louie Simmons of westside barbell. Good luck with it bro & remember it's a marathon, not a sprint .Active release techniques. I don't know much about it. Sucks because I don't have the dough to spend on it.

I had actually just tried this after a long battle with a dry elbow. I was going to do acupressure but a powerlifting buddy told me about art.. He also warned me because it's not gentle by any means. It hurt like a son of gun when the finger all but disappeared into my elbow but it was like a load of bricks being pulled off of my arm. I still have a couple sessions but it made a world of difference for sure.bicep tendon pinched in the rotator cuff or upper back...get some ART....it works...
As far as the elbow pain itself, you might also check your exercise selection. If for instance you perform preacher curls (AKA Scott curls) be very careful not to move quickly or bounce at the bottom of the movement when your arms are straight and your elbows locked out. Bouncing or moving too fast at the beginning of the rep can cause elbow tendon damage big time due to hyper-extending the elbow tendons. One movement that tends to hurt my elbows are standing french curls (done for the triceps). I have to avoid those.
Well if you suspect that it might be from the Preacher curls, it's probably better off if you stay away from them for a good length of time and do other curls instead and see if the tendon issue goes away after awhile. And if you did hyperextend the elbow tendons, it can be a serious injury as far as I know. But time is often the best true story tellerGood info! I think mine is from preacher curls. Whats weird is hurts like shit until I lift again, but its fine while lifting.
Yeah, stop using ice on it. Ice is outdated medical science. It slows down the healing process. Use heat instead. Heat forces blood flow, more blood flow equals faster healing. Inflammation is a good thing, stop trying to get rid of it and let it do its job.
Yeah I gotta start treating this again. It's gotten really bad now. What's good though, I'm going to physical therapy twice a week for my neck and they're also going to treat this as well, especially since it's all a function of my neck problems. Had my first treatment today and it helped somewhat. My neck much more so, but it'll take a minute to work all the way down my arm
