Hey guys
I have very sore elbows after and during every Triceps workout
I am thinking this may be from tendinitis?
i am wondering if anyone else experiences this pain?

I wonder if GH therapy would help with this issue. I had a small tear in my pec minor and after a 4 month treatment of serostim is was gonne.
Try doing high rep band work your elbows and stay away from overhead exercises for tris. and skull crushers. Stick with push downs with bands and warm them up real good.
Elbow sleeves work for me on all my heavy pressing and direct tricep work. I use APT, check them out if you want. That being said, the old joke applies " I went to the doc and told him it hurts when i do this, so the doc told me dont do that!" Stick to multi joint movements for triceps like close grip presses etc. It seems to work for me. My elbows are pretty fucking bad, but the wraps and sticking to the basics helps alot.
Also, curcumin and cissus are great supplements to use for tendonitis. Great anti inflammatory effect. Give them both a shot.
Close grip bench press can tweek your elbow IF you do it wrong. If it hurts or feels weird switch up the elbows or grip.
My theory: The triceps is a muscle designed to work both at the elbow and the shoulder joint. When you force the triceps to ONLY work at the elbow, you cause a great deal of stress at the long head attachment point (distal side). If you do triceps exercises in a way works the triceps both at the elbow and the shoulder, you spread the stress properly between the two joints and cause a lot less stress on the elbow. The whole "don't move the upper arm" and "keep the elbows pinned in" during extensions SEEMS correct, but it is actually not bio-mechanically correct.
