So,
seems I've buggered the elbow/tricep from low bar squats, think i was gripping the bar too hard lol.
I've read as much of the previous posts as I can, and am now taking a week or 2 off, with lots of foam rolling, strengthening exercises. I'm wondering if it's primarily to do with shoulders and lack of mobility. Pain began laterally just above the elbow, then progressed to medial forearm. This now seems to of abated to a certain degree, and have a trigger point in the lower tricep. Currently taking fish oil tablets and multivitamins only.
I've tried to work through it by changing techniques, hand positions etc.. but to no avail.
I started off in end of May doing 5x5 stronglifts, had a total of 3 weeks off due to hols and waiting for gym equipment. My question now is, thinking of going to rippetoes 3x5 due to lower volume but keep intensity, or/ do marko's program, which is simiar volume? Also, start with empty bar again, or 50% of current max's?
Cheers
