elbow support

I have elbow pain when doing skull crushers and my doc said to use some elbow supports and will that hinder tricep development? Currently taking Animal Flex

I have the same issue, I don't do those anymore. I also now wear elbow sleeves. When doing triceps, try not to go beyond 90 degrees so you put less stress on the joint. You can also ice and heat it.

How is the animal flex? Did you mention that supplement to your doctor?

if its a torn tendon...dont heat it

Elbow supports won't hinder tricep development they only put pressure on your tendons. I would recommend stopping the skull crushers at least until the pain goes away, they work great but seem to be the number one reason for elbow pain.

both elbows hurt, they feel better and i have no probs. with close grip bench and i really enjoy that exercise and he said the glucosamine would take a while to work and i understand that. Even one arm dumbbell extensions hurt. He said mostly overuse inflammation and i have rested them for about a week now.
