Pain doing weighted dips

[magman1]

i have the same problem, with pain on dips...what i found helps(as someone else mentioned) is going partially down for the first few, deeper each time. I also have a problem if i get off to quickly...i really need to ease my way off

This isn't a pain from any kind of injury... and NO I do not have tendonitis... and the comment that I was "moving around" too much and needed to get tighter made me laugh.

then what is the point of this thread?

Why does my elbow hurt? ...and what is wrong with it?

If I try to do a reverse grip EZ bar curl (Scot curl) or front delt work with dumbbells... my elbow... leading a little into the forearm... is screaming with pain.

It has gotten to the point that I wince if I have to shake hands with someone.

This has been going on for about two months.

I know this post was 9 months ago, but these things don't go away easily, if at all.

1. Do you do warm-up sets specifically of chest dips, or just a general chest warm-up with other exercises?
1a. Do you do multiple sets of chest dips? How do the subsequent sets feel?
2. How deep do you go?

I got tendonitis once from a dog ball thrower... stopped using it... and it took months and months to go away. This isn't tendonitis. It's a totally different experience. It's like a WALL that you have to go through in order to do the exercise. Once you go through the wall it doesn't hurt anymore.

When I had tendonitis... every rep hurt.

1. I do dip warm ups without weight. 4-5 sets.

2. I do 5 x 5 of weighted dips. I only feel pain on the first rep of each set... the next four reps don't hurt. Each first rep is murder.

3. I go deep into the hole... but the deeper I get the less pain there is. The pain starts 20% of the way down... and lasts till I get to the bottom 20%. Then like a miracle it is gone.

Oy vey. I don't know what to tell you.

Those are some strange symptoms.

Do your warmup sets hurt or is it only when you start to get heavy? Have you tried pyramiding your warmup set weight?
