Elbows sometimes get a harsh almost painful tingly feeling sometimes, especially the left one for some reason when I extend it. It's in that funny area between the edge of the elbow and the other bone right beside it (hopefully this makes sense). My left elbow is particularly problematic sometimes, and I will sometimes wake up feeling that tingly pain. It's usually when my arm is just fully extended and locked out (with or without weight, lifting or not lifting, same thing).

Wondering if there's ways to remedy this.

I'm able to exercise just fine, though sometimes (particularly skull crushers) I have to tone things down a bit.

Also another question for you Raynor,

Turns out that machine that I ordered has independent arms rather than unified arms. Seems odd to me. Do you think that's better, worse, or just going to be different?

Good morning Raynor,

i'd like to ask...

if after the training..one the following day or two someone doesn't feel pain in the muscles he trained..does that mean muscles will not grow or become stronger and the training was insufficient?

NB: i'd like you to answer this 1st for natural bodybuilders and 2nd for steroid users ( cause what i just think is.. that steroids might regenerate muscles quickly or the taining will not cause muscle tissue getting damaged or overtrained or filled with lactacid ) and they will grow anyway..


thanks in advance

I was hoping you weren't gonna say this.

and I did go see a doctor about it, he said to take Ibuprofen 3 times a day for 2 weeks and apply heat to the shoulder 3 times a day.

and to stop lifting weights and football for two weeks  :cry: (he said if it doesn't improve in the 2 weeks, he suggests that he injects the shoulder with a steroid or something?)


Oh well, thank you very much raynor, you are a great help to the H&F forum.



Unfortunately your doctor gave you the typical generic advice that a general practitioner would give on this subject. He is recommending ibuprofen as an anti-inflammatory and then heat which inflames the area. For your particular condition I would not be using heat OR ibuprofen. These will NOT fix the problem. This will alleviate some of the pain, but that's it. It's basically putting a band-aid on a broken bone so to speak. The corticosteroid injection could indeed help improve your condition....I would recommend a sports medicine doctor at this point. Go online, find one in your area with good reviews and check him/her out. If you can get your problem under control with corticosteroids, good stuff. If not, you MUST do the surgery now when you are young or else your condition can get much worst over time.

good luck

hey ray..

could you write me up a nice and easy simple routine for my girlfriend....

shes like 107lbs. like never lifted a weight. very weak. and hates working out.

im gonna try to get her to let me train her 3days a week.


thanks :D



I'm assuming she just wants to increase muscle definition and overall physical fitness? If so...

These days should all be separated by a day of rest. ie: monday, wednesday, friday.

Every exercise will be performed at 3 sets for 8-12 reps of moderate weight (with 1 warmup set of light weight for the first exercise of each muscle group). The weight can increase twice (set 2 and 3) but only slightly.


Day 1 :::

Seated chest press, seated pec deck, laying DB press, machine dips, tricep rope pulldowns, DB tricep kickbacks, and 5 sets of hanging leg raises. Cardio is optional, but if she wants to - throw in 20 mins of HIIT post workout.


Day 2 :::

Lat pulldowns OR assisted pull-up machine, seated cable rows OR seated machine rows, lower back hyperextensions, standing e-z bar curls, seated db hammer curls, concentration curls, and 5 sets of decline situps.


Day 3:::

Leg Press Machine, Leg Extension Machine, Leg Curl Machine, Standing Calf Raises, seated military press, standing DB front raises, and 5 sets of v-crunch machine or roman chair situps.

Let me ask you a few questions:

1. when did this start?
2. do any exercises make it worse?
3. does the pain ever get extremely sharp and intolerable?
4. does anything make it feel better?
5. have you had any injuries there before?

Hey Raynor.

In my opinion, they should "sticky" your guides making it more user friendly for people who want to know your routines, diets, splits, etc.

As of right now, everytime I want to check something out, I have to try to remember what page I read it on and hope it isn't too far down because I normally have to scroll down a few hundred pages to find it.


Wish you the best of luck in all your projects! Hitting the gym as of tomorow with your cutting workout routine and non keto cutting diet!

Independent is actually better...this way your stronger side doesn't take over and get a small percentage more than the weaker side. With independent arms you are able to keep things pretty even and truly isolate. Great machine choice in my opinion.
