Found a problem in my squat...

Stapled-- i like that grip but as the weigt get heavier it feels awkward for me to hold it. So do it till i get to 585ish then back to normal. Our power rack really limits my gripping ability.

1 dawg-- what happend to the seniors? Oh well get em next time. We'll see you in June. Maybe you can give me some deadlift tips!

Yes, that is exactly what bicep tendonitis is. It can come from many things, such as the flow of synovial fluid being occlued when the arms are flexed, such as those of us (pretty much all of us) who do a lot of low bar squats, good mornings, etc. It can also come from repetetive hypertension of the elbow, such as that experienced by throwers. I get mine from both. Lucky me. The sheathing of the tendon becomes inflamed, and does not allow the proper flow of synovial fluid where it begins to contact the tendon. No lubrication gives you squeaky wheels.

The easiest way to treat it is to simply keep the area warm at all times, which improves circulation as well as the flow of synovial fluid.
