I have been completely out of the gym since late August.
As many are awhere I`ve had severe tendonities(left elbow) inside AND outside. I`ve come to believe the situation was a bit worse than just tendonities. I have strecthed it several times daily, used motrin 1x4 times ED heat-cold.About ever thing I knew to do and also with some help for many good Bro's for advise.
As of a month ago it was reacurring(no lifting or any tangable reason why). Picking up a coffee cup if I was`nt thinking could be quite painful. There has never surfaced in my mind an exact event that caused this, though I know know this is a fairly common afflection.
One reason I wanted to include some history was because a couple bro's tried early on to get me to start taking Glucosamine&Chondroitin which is said to help heal cartilage. Alass, been so OLD School going back 20+ years with the Supplement companies of the late 70's-early 80's I find ANY over the counter supp's Highly doughtable!
Its been a bout a month now that I`ve been taking the G&C at 1.5 &1.2 grams ED along with all the other home rehab and I must say...It does seem to be quite helpful!(Takes 30+ days though)
I`ve been to the gym twice working the whole upper body"EXTREMELY" lightly. EX: bench=the bar for 20-25 reps and isolation movements the same then ice my arm for a hour after.
So far so good. SO.......
Today I`m going full upper body again,BUT at intermediate weightsEX135-185lbs on the bench for however is still a comfortable "feel". Same on all other movements for this week and the following week back to a 3-4 day split with real weight(EFFORTS).
I feel today is the day I find out just where I am!!!
I am Very concerned and have said my Prayers!
Not lifting for two weeks from the end of a cycle till now has not been to kind to my body! OR my Disposition!
Muscle memory has always been very kind to me and I`ve continued to delay my next cycle untill I am comfortable. If all goes well I will be back "ON" in two weeks. YES, i will still becareful for a time and listen closely to my body.
BOTTOM LINE: I`m Nervous. Its been such a long time out. Not trying to be a puss, but if I blow out my elbow again I`ll be atleast temporarily heart broken!
Any last minute suggestions. DOUBLE J
Lastly, Thank all of you bro's for past and continued help!!!

). Also thinking of buying if I can find them one wrist strap because that one arms grip is part of the problem.Sound reasonable?
