re: Anyone have/had golfers elbow or tennis elbow from lifting?

I've had a ton and resolved all.

My thoughts and experiences:

1.) Don't Ice. I'm with Kelly Starrett on why we shouldn't ice.

2.) Self Massage is key, but you must do your forearm AND triceps. The TriggerPoint therapy ball is best for forearms (against the wall) and the Yoga Tuneup ball is best for triceps (sitting at a table). Lacrosse ball is too much for the forearms, you'll never get deep enough and fully relax.

3.) If you want a true forearm solution, look into the Armaid, which basically cured a previous bout with diagnosed carpal tunnel.

4.). As mentioned, Voodoo Flossing is great for the forearms

5.). I've had genuine success using the Zensah calf compression sleeves for forearms (I found the forearm sleeves too loose).

6.). I've read that tendons strengthen at a significantly slower rate than muscle, which is a big driver behind injury. Sometimes it's necessary to slow linear progression to allow your tendons to catch-up.

7.). Supplement Rec: Curcumabsorb for inflammation.
