re: Daily Strength Check-In

im getting bad tendinitis in my left arm, mainly bicep to the point i cant hardly lift it after doing things like chins. Gonna cut out all back exercises for now including deads. gonna swuat all three lifting days, atleast some form of it, mainly in the form of BFR training on my squat pro and landmine hack squats. Gonna kill the calves. Gonna have to stay away from all tricep movements though but gonna sneak in 2 RPT sets of DB Shoulder press and lots of laterals.

sucks that i am in the middle of my cut and this happens but i have to let it heal. and only thing that helps tendentious is rest.

Just got done from that spout with my bicep, tricep, and elbow pain. For me it was the chest and neck that was the problem. They were too tight when doing back squats and it pulled on my tricep and biceps.

I had a massage therapist tell me that my chest insertion to my shoulder was severely tight and that my traps were knotted. I got that taken care of and do the Limber 11 + Starett 5 way shoulder stretch and it seems to be fine with also some limited back squating. Deadlift, back exercises, and bench had no effect on the pain. It was only AFTER squats that it hurt on bench day. She also told me to stretch my forearms and to stretch my fingers.

eta that my subscapularis and lats was overly tight and was causing some shoulder external rotation issues as well.

I had this problem. You're likely rotating your shoulders forward and causing the issue.

make sure to keep that chest big and up during the entire movement.
