Low bar - bicep tendonitis
Hi,
You may or may not have seen my thread on Ripp's Q&A. But I have some questions re low bar and I fear of getting reamed by Uncle Ripp.
I have developed a good case of bicep tendonitis in both elbows when starting Low Bar the same time I started TM. I Have been slowly learning where to put the bar to stop it moving about and rolling.
1. How much forward lean should there be when just standing with the bar? I seem to need a bit of forward lean and cant stand straight upright with the bar or it will Roll down my back.
2. Does one need to push real hard with the palms on bar to jam it in position? There seems to be a fair bit of debate on how to actual hold the bar, some ppl have suggested to white knuckle the thing, others just say to hold it in the palms in classic rip style.
3. Does anyone have experience with the ibuprophen protocol and when I can do it again? Should I wait 1 month or so?
prefer responses from intermediates that squat around 400lbs/180kg for reps. I only start having problems when the weight hits about 160kg/350lbs 5 * 5
cheers,
