elbow tendon pain unracking low bar squat

[tii]

As above, has anyone else encountered this.

I don't have much drama during the unrack or set, just tightness in the elbow, but after my working sets it feels a bit weak and fatigued.

This has also been compounded by further pain on close grip bench on arms day (day after legs) and lying skull crushers. Last week I barely got through triceps and had to do my biceps on my usual day off

I'm currently gripping with my index finger on the markers of the lower/upper quartile of the bar (standard Olympic bar). I tense and grip the bar as hard as I can before lift off

neglecting my glucosamine but I get a little in my multi

i sometimes f*ck up my elbow by pressing upwards hard on the bar with my hands during my last couple of reps of a set, if theyre difficult. at one stage it was so bad afterwards i couldnt pull up my cars handbrake.

if i make sure to just put my palms on the bar during the final reps, ie not grip the bar so i cant push upwards through my hands, the elbow is ok

very common :nod:

250 band pressdowns per day, roller biceps, triceps and forearms, try some topical meds...should help

other than that you could try flossing - search elbow flossing at mobilityWOD.com

Sweet post^

Also watch what your doing when you unrack the bar, let your back support the weight, don't push against it with your arms, just squeeze tight.

I had the same problem, used to get the maddest sore elbows, until I realized I was literally trying to press the bar off my back, making a conscious effort to stop doing so seemed to coincide with no more pain.
