For the 2nd week in a row I noticed left arm hurts when going full ROM on free weight exercises like seated dumbbell shoulder press, dumbbell chest press, etc.
I had this before 2018 so went to doc gave me prescription dose naproxen and told me not to lift for a few weeks…I hated that. This time around cause was from being a beginner and doing wrong form on barbell preacher curls I think…
Idk why it happened this time around I think from stretching awkwardly cause I’m doing exercises correctly without it being too heavy.
Any suggestions what to do besides replacing with machines for a while??
If it really is tendonitis:
Eat whatever you can to reduce inflammation.
Quite literally grind out the sore spot with a smooth rock or something. (You’ll want to cry)
Invest in some voodoo floss bands. They’re like $30. Research how to use them properly. I contribute these 110% to my recovery from tendonitis.
Perform full range of motion, with light weight, extremely slowly.
These all worked for me.
(Bonus effect, the floss bands completely remove the pain for about a full workout)
Dunno what kinda tendinitis you’re experiencing, but I had some bicep tendinitis affecting my shoulder.
Just did some more rear delt work, no overhead movements, and worked with SSB bars instead of a regular bar for squat. Just avoid positions that flare it up. For me, it was OHP but benching felt good.
COnsider a deep tissue massage too
