Elbow pain(brachioradialis)

wh4t3ver Posts: 2 Joined: 2008/02/09	2008/02/09, 07:42 AM Hi everyone, After training my biceps, I nearly get every time, two days after my training, a pain on the brachioradialis(outer side of my forearm, with the inner hand facing the sky), and slight pain at the betom of my biceps. I then have difficulty extending my arm to 180 degrees. Can this be a chronic tendanitice? Or is this normal after workout? Here's a detailed picture: http://orgs.jmu.edu/strength/images/male_muscle_anatomy_forearm.gif Thanks for your help.

I'm sure I'm misspelling it though, so if you want to look it up it goes by the common diagnosis of "Tennis Elbow". The treatment is progressive. It must start with the standard anti-inflammatory phase (rest, ice, NSAIDs, fish oil, etc) and then progress into a strengthening phase centered around the forearm extensor muscles and stretching of the extensors. Reverse wrist curls, levering, and resisted hand opening exercises should be the focus. -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Blood Guts Sweat Chalk

The 2 main exercises I would focus on are the one with the rubber band, and the reverse wrist curl. -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Blood Guts Sweat Chalk
