Interested to know – what are your current calories? How many meals do you eat a day? And what were they when you finished your diet? Do you sleep well? (What times) do you Hydrate well?

Current around 2600/2300 training/restday.
I eat 4 meals on rest and 5 on training day (+ intra EAAs).

Currently, the heat is impairing my sleep a little bit (the same as everyone in europe ^^), I sleep from 20:30 to around 3:15-3:45, wake up two to three times.

I drink sufficently.

Most of it is psychological – accept your going to be hungry or feel like you need to eat , you have the choice to say no or give in

Instead of resorting to food rely on diet drinks & water , take a walk , don’t hoard food

Bring your calories to a point where you are not constantly thinking about food

Based of what you said here it’s ultimately very simple

Your desire to eat is higher than your desire to achieve your goals, that’s ultimately the case for most

When your goals mean a lot to you

No matter how you feel, that shit doesn’t happen Although it may feel like it

Thanks for the reply! As I do not have any specific physique goals at the moment, this would be a good starting point for restoring my adherence.

I saw a sports therapist; according to him, the triceps tendon is the cause of the pain, and apparently it’s not uncommon for the pain to radiate into the forearm.

I was given specific warm-up exercises, including overhead cable presses with light weights, focusing on the stretch.

I also do light triceps presses with resistance bands every day to improve blood flow (once in the morning on training days, more often on rest days).

Of course, I’ve had to cut out heavy triceps press exercises again, and I also need to adjust my form for back exercises to avoid passively overloading the tendon.

I’ll keep an eye on how things go—I’m already curious to see the results.

Sorry for staying off this topic for so long.

The movement change was helping very well, so I could get to “normal” movements as dips again. Also I could improve my chest technique significantly by trying to eliminate the triceps as much as possible.

However, being on cycle did definitly help, now that i am cruising, the problems start again.

But I am very positive, that removing nagging exercises and rehab training will get me going again.

Thanks for the helps and sorry again for staying off so long.

You need to think long term. You are going to have to rest at some point, and adapt your training if you want this to get any better, otherwise you’ll just cause further damage. Whatever is is will be inflamed, so proper rest initially is going to be the first step Then it will be a case of taking some time and playing around with your training to figure out what you can and can’t do without pain. This may mean completely cutting out some movements for a while and dropping loads significantly. You may just need to start back with bands or cable work.

I would get some advice form a reputable physio. Get them to give you a full assessment, figure out what’s going on, and work with them to create a rehab plan. Shockwave therapy might be useful too if you have any kind of tendonitis.

Healing peptides will definitely be useful, as will supplements such as Join-In, Cure-Coming, Oh Mega Pro and Osteo Pro, but you also need to focus on the route cause and proper rest and rehab.

Thanks for the answer! Yeah not what I wanted to hear but surely what I need to hear…

It may actually be a great idea to have a little check over with her scan, even if you get to Doctors and ask them for it even if it takes awhile to see exactly what the problem is as essentially bashing it with peptides yes can help but you need to know the problem, when it comes to training are their movements from another body perspective in all areas of the upper body that you want to progress that you can actually do any movements that don’t hurt? Even things like using cuffs instead of grips where possible and staying away likely from pressing for now.

But I will definitely do some investigating since it’s been going on for so long as that’s gonna be the way to be able to figure out what is the problem to able to actually decide on the best steps

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, no doctor has been able to identify the problem so far (some say tendonitis, some say a nerve problem…). I’ll try to stay away from hard training as suggested, thinking long-term ^^
