Tendonitis can be a real pain when trying to progress with your training. Tendonitis is inflammation of a tendon. Personally I’ve had tendonitis in my bicep and forearm. This effected so many movements and exercises meaning I couldn’t lift as much, so I couldn’t progress as fast as I wanted to. If you think you may have tendonitis and you have tenderness, swelling or a dull ache where the tendon attaches to a bone then you may have it.
Tendonitis can be caused by a sudden injury but the more likely reason is due to repetition of a particular movement or exercise over time. The majority of people that get tendinitis will be because of their jobs or hobbies involve repetitive motions that put stress on the tendons.
A good way to prevent tendonitis is using proper technique especially when performing repetitive movements in the gym or in a chosen sport. Poor technique can overload the tendon causing tendonitis.
Supplements like curcumin, glucosamine and cissus quadrangularis can decrease inflammation to help alleviate the pain and negative effects from tendonitis.
