Pain in elbow and shoulder

[NearlyNatural]

When I do skullcrushers or pushdowns quickly, there is a terrible pain in my elbow that lasts a few seconds.
When I go do low on the bench, my left shoulder hurts.

Not sure what caused either of these, but most likely it's my excessive training, which I would really rather not like to lower. I do 15-20 sets per muscle, 2x a week. I'd like to keep this up for another 8 weeks, when my cycle ends. Then I'm planning on lowering it to 6-9 sets 2x a week.

I'm running cetyle, glucosamine/chondroitin, flax oil, and jello PWO. This seems to help a little, but the pain is still there.

I started this extremely high volume 4 weeks ago and the pain has been progressing since then. My strength has been suffering too. Prior to the cycle I was shoulder pressing the 65 lb dbs, I got up to the 70s but my last work out I couldn't even handle the 60's for reps. I was really pissed off.

Any advice?

Yeah, advice you don't want to hear... cut back on your training.

I'd guess the pain in your elbow is triceps tendonitis and that the pain in your shoulder is bicipital tendonitis...but I'm just venturing a guess. Both are, as you suspect, overuse injuries.

Getting Active Release (aka ART) would help a LOT! But at least cut back on your training volume or both main end up chronic.

Best,
