Avoid Elbow Pains to Keep Making Gains[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Several common forearm injuries can plague trainees. The most well known is tennis elbow, which is a strain of the origin, or tendon attachment, of the wrist extensor muscles on top of the forearm. Strain and pain on the bottom of the elbow is often called golfer’s elbow, and I’ve addressed that pain from triceps training several times. The last strain is to the large forearm muscle known as the brachioradialis. Regrettably, strains to that muscle can linger and be very resistant to treatment.

The brachioradialis has a broad origin on the lower portion of the humerus, or upper-arm bone, and inserts, or attaches, by a long tendon to the thumb side of the wrist. It’s certainly the largest muscle of the forearm. Its function is to flex, or bend, the elbow; it also helps to turn the palm partially upward, in supination, or downward, in pronation. The brachioradialis is used strongly in pulling movements such as pullups, pulldowns and all types of rows. For many trainees those movements develop the brachioradialis sufficiently. Trainees who want to develop the muscle more should include hammer curls in their arm workouts. Many powerlifters also incorporate them because they feel the exercise helps support the arm and elbow during very heavy bench presses.

The brachioradialis can be strained from overtraining. It can also be injured if you carry heavy items for long distances. An example is moving many dozens of boxes to and from trucks while moving in or out of an apartment or house. Another example is carrying luggage for long distances in airports.

Once the muscle is strained, you become aware of how many exercises use it. Suddenly back and arm workouts are compromised. Trainees typically train lighter, hoping the strain will pass quickly, but instead it lingers. The next step is to stop training back and arms. The strain is often aggravated; for example if a trainee has to travel and carry a suitcase. Halfway across the airport it starts to ache—and recovery is further delayed.

Medical treatment for this injury usually includes various combinations of anti-inflammatory medication, soft-tissue mobilization, ultrasound, electric muscle stimulation and laser. For reasons that are not clear, brachioradialis strains resist treatment. That means they can last for many weeks or months.

A strain of the wrist flexors on the bottom of the forearm is usually aggravated by triceps training when you don’t keep your wrist straight. When the wrist bends upward in an extension position, there’s a stretch on the flexor muscles, and that pulls on the tendons and origin. The stretch is magnified when trainees try to force an extra rep or two by accelerating the bar through the movement. The strain usually resolves when they begin to keep their wrist straight during triceps training.

Tennis elbow can also linger. Strains of the wrist extensors on top of the forearm at the elbow are usually caused by a combination of overuse and the weakness of the wrist extensors. Strengthening the wrist extensors will improve the condition. That info, by the way, is circulating on the Internet as if it were a new discovery. It isn’t. I learned it in biomechanics courses in the late 1970s, and it was supported by research. The traditional reverse wrist curl is a great exercise for the wrist extensors, as is a wrist roller.

Keep in mind that these muscles are used in many activities, and that’s why it’s painful to shake someone’s hand during an acute episode of tennis elbow. While reverse wrist curls will help—start with very light weight—other exercises may aggravate the condition. I often see trainees in the gym performing laterals with their wrists bent downward, in a flexed position. That loads the elbow unnecessarily.

A little preventive work can save your elbows and keep you in the gym and training. Train smart; then train hard.

Back injuries are quite common in sport, with most athletes suffering from them at some stage in their career.



WHO?

Duncan Ferguson, Andrew Flintoff and Pat Rafter have all had back problems throughout their careers.

And Tim Henman is having to deal with back problems in the twilight of his career.



HOW?

Too much strain on the spine and back muscles.

Since the back is a major part of the body, different areas get injured playing sport.

You can also get back injuries from doing day to day activities like lifting heavy objects.

Athletes who play contact sports are more likely to suffer from back problems.

They are, however, also common in tennis, golf and cricket.



CAN BACK INJURIES END SPORTING CAREERS?

It depends on the injury.

If it is a spinal injury, then it can be very dangerous.

In the most severe cases, it can lead to paralysis - the loss of use of the legs.

Because the back is very complex, one injury can often affect another part of the spine.



Doctors and physiotherapists use X-rays to see whether the spine has been affected.

But they also use a series of questions and short tests to find out whether the problem is muscular.

Back injuries are often very painful and prevent athletes from training.



WHAT ARE THE MAIN PARTS OF THE BACK?

The main bone in the back is the spine.

The spine is made up of little bones called vertebrates sitting on top of each other.

There are 24 vertebrates in the back. They are:


• Seven cervical (neck) vertebrae
• 12 thoracic (chest) vertebrae
• Five lumbar (lower back) vertebrae
Ligaments and muscles are attached to each vertebrae to allow the back to move around without causing any damage.

In between each vertebrae are disks of fibro cartilage - the back's version of shock absorbers.

These disks contain a jelly-like fluid which help the back move around freely.



TREATMENT

Certain back injuries, like vertebrae fractures, may require surgery because they can cause damage to the rest of the spinal cord.

But other injuries, like muscle tears, aren't as serious.

Massages, physiotherapy and rest are the best ways to get back to full fitness.



RETURN?

Again, it depends on how serious the injury is.

Muscle strains and tears can take anywhere between two to eight weeks to heal.

But more serious injuries, for example a slipped back disk, can take a lot longer to recover from.

Athletes must avoid doing any activities which can harm their recovery.

So for a fast bowler, physiotherapists would advise them not to bowl until their injury has cleared up.

Im pushing pretty hard and he helps me get the bar to full extension. On the way down im expecting him to assist if i get in trouble Instead-- about halfway down he lets go, my right shoulder fails and I now have a torn rotater cuff. I felt it tear and actually heard it. Sounded like tearing a piece of jerky in two.

Immediately I have zero ability to move my arm laterally. Nothing at all.

Called the doc, he sort of did an on phone interview asking what I could do and not do. He had me raise the arm passively ( with assistance) and see if I could hold it up. Once support was removed the arm fell lifelessly to the side and the shoulder hurt like hell. His diagnosis? Complete tear of the supporting tendons.

He says surgery is a sure need. Problem is I'm deploying to Iraq any day. Just waiting for the visa to come through. This would cause me to lose my position if it was noticed that I could no longer function. Im a bomb dog handler so I need my arms.

Lots of Advil, ice, rest, and im now able to function almost normal but at a weakened and painful state. This happened a week ago.

Each day I get a little more use and movement. I now move almost normally. So my question

Could this have really been torn or just badly strained? Seems to me if it was completely torn i would not have recovered any movement. Next question. Will, with time this get back to where i can lift again? I'm so pissed this sent me back. I told the guy that spotted me it wasn't his fault and Id be fine. Didn't want him to blab about me being hurt BUT I DO blame him in my mind for being such a shitty spotter.

The strategies of conventional medicine (resting the injured joint or getting steroid injections into the injured tendon) will only lead to longer term problems and pain even if they provide short-term relief. Immobilizing the joint in question will exacerbate the waste removal problems and lead to weakening of the surrounding muscles and connective tissue.

Here are five ways to boost tendon strength and health.

1. Take Gotu Kola
I was introduced to the benefits of gotu kola for tendon health by my mentor Robert Crayhon. Giving gotu kola to clients who have had tendon repairs speeds the healing process because it improves blood flow. I have heard many stories of amazed looks from the surgeon on how fast my clients have recovered after taking gotu kola.

I will undergo first a needle to drain fluid and a cortisone shot. If this does not fix the problem I will have surgery that is really minor and should fully recover in 60-90 days.

Needless to say I am happy with the outcome because I was dreading the worst. If all goes well I should be logging a cycle soon and be in beastmode!

I will update on a as needed basis.
