tender joints on a cut?

[MrGoodCat1990]

Anyone experienced joint issues from prolonged calorie and nutrient deficit .

I do a lot of hammer curls and bicep tricep excersises 3 times a week over the past few weeks I've had the feeling of weakness in my elbows and when I'm lifting they are more aware of the pressure and sensitive to it and the cartliage feels like its wearing away or something when I stretch the arm out straight.
Can't workout wether I'm lfting too often or too long a session for the level of calories I'm intaking and not recovering properly.

Anyone experience this on a cut? I've started taking glucosamine sulphate anyone see a benefit from this sup

Why are you training bi's and tri's three times a week?
What is your dietary fat intake?
Are you consuming enough fish/fish oil?

its probably just tendonitis, there isnt really any supporting evidence on glucosamine with current studies and it is not been proven if it helps, yet.
FWIW you can actually feel the tendons if you are lean enough and pinpoint the issue, i would drop isolation exercises like hammer curls, skull crushers, etc for the most part because it puts so much more load on the target tendon when you take the antagonist muscles out of the picture. Keep deloading over and over until it goes away or stop completely if its bad until it heals. In sports medicine and physiotherapy, they have you do active recovery instead of deloads depending on severity.

Sorry I meant to say I do directly bis and tris twice a week and on a third would be bis and tris as secondary if I'm doing chest shoulders and back.
I lift heavy on bis and tris day (but no more than before cut to keep strength up) for around 45mins 10 to 12 sets and around half to failure and feel recovered in a day so I suppose .
I have a habbit on training them too often, seem to be stuck on bulk style lifting even on a cut ,
I get around 50g of good fats sometimes less, don't get as much fish as I used to maybe get some fish oil caps?
Would u say lift heavy once a week for bis and tris

I don't directly train arms.
I just focus on compound lifts.
I wouldn't suggest having a day of training just arms, especially if your joints are sore.

Try upping the fat to 65g a day, take some fish oil and give your arms a break from heavy lifting.

Curious, what routine are you following?

Elbow tendonitis is an extremely common complication/injury in weightlifting. I've struggled with it for years. I avoid arm isolation exercises and have had to a lot of grip work to balance out my forearm strength.

I just follow my own differnt week to week however my body feels , mon bis tris, tues chest back ,wed shoulders thurs legs ,fri bis and tris it may differ the following week sometimes. May do chest twice a week ,
but I'm more strict with lifting days when bulking, while cutting focus mainly on my diet and trying to keep strength, I like to do direct muscle group days and do unilateral free weight training so not to create muscle imbalances but I do compounds

My have to implement that myself although I luv isolation excersises , have you ever tried elbow wraps? I have more of a delt and tricep imbalance which is the main reason why do isolation excersises maybe have to leave them out until I'm getting enough quality nutrients and calories again

You lose cushioning in the joint as you lose weight, so this is not uncommon. Be sure to exercise proper technique. Take some videos and post them in the exercise section of the forum. Make mobility work a daily habit like brushing your teeth.

Cheers dude didn't know ya could do that myt just do that, would it be of benefit to do half reps more tension on the muscles less on the joints

As Dmac said, elbow, bicep,forearm tendonitis is pretty common problem in weight lifting, even more so at the beginner stage imo. Biceps and Triceps can easily outgrow forearm,elbow joints etc. in terms of strength. Struggled with it myself. Drop some volume and weight, work on proper form while giving the rest of your arms the chance to catch up.

Personally adding mobility work and forearm workout once a week helped for me (along with dropping volume and working on form).
Take a deload if you haven't lately, if you have then give arms some more rest, you don't want to cause a full blown tendonitis as that easily puts you out for 2-6 weeks or more.
