Yeah near the joint. Not enough though to slow down my routine or stop me going heavy on exercises I mentioned or benching/rowing it just feels like something that'll actually get bad in like 10 years.

Well it's probably not the bone tbh. Probably a tendonosis or something. Might wanna protect it for a few weeks and see if it persists.

Thanks, it does feel like something I should rest till gone but gym

You don't have to rest. But you should really minimise the pain. In fact exercising it still would be a good idea but it's low intensity rehabilitative stuff, work with light weights and high repetitions within a relatively pain free zone.

You can do all your pain free lifts as normal probably. It might be worth looking at taping the joint for a couple of weeks, couldn't say without knowing more about the issue.

I'm struggling with motivation so much at the mo, do like 2/3 half *rsed workouts a week.

Admittedly I am smashing it fitness wise, but definitely losing mass

I've researched more and it seems to be forearm splint. This thread had a lot of ppl with same symptoms as me including most pain when letting go of the weight: https://m.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/2gdbl8/forearm_hurts_a_lot_when_doing_barbell_curls/

I also searched about tendinitis and some of the symptoms overlap. Anyway I'm not going to curl at all for next few weeks as you said, a lot of people seemed to recommend lightweight negative curls too as well as ice packs and I'll try both. Finally watched a vid on YouTube and form wise I was maybe putting too much emphasis on forearm and not on biceps by flexing my wrist as I curled, so I'll watch that when I get into it.

The negative curls are great for tendonitis/tendonosis. Heard them recommended loads before.

As I'm slowly taking this more seriously I've started to prefer training on my own, when I first started I hated going on my own but now some of my gym buddies just get in the way, take too long talking between sets, interrupt my usual routine and wanna stop the workout before I'm done ffs

Unless I'm doing chest stuff I can only push myself with someone spotting

There's always one fker messing around on there phone, ask them to spot you during chest sessions.

Lots of people say that but at both my uni gym and home gym I never ever see people ask random people to spot them so I feel it's not socially acceptable and I'll get a dumbbell to the face or something

After a while I find it sucks going on your own.

Also doesn't help that I live so close to my gym.

Means motivation is little/none. Need someone else to compete against to push myself (how I am best motivated).

I've discovered nuts too so I've incorporated them into my diet as a daily snack. Now I've started hitting ~2500 calorie goal each day usually

^tho with the nuts on some days 40-50% of my daily diet is fat and not sure if that's especially great. Just going along with it

Edin I have some gym buddies who are OK to train with and give you motivation but some others just annoy me now

It also helps having gym buddies who are stronger than you

Edin wants a big strong man behind him when he lifts

Fine to go alone. My gym is full of gay boys who are desperate to spot you if you need it but I just don't train low rep much any more so I don't need it.

Hahaha that's my gym

Decline free standing hand stand press up

Thought you were a bit off that

TCW you ever get people who moan to you about (what they think may be) abnormal spinal curvature? I think may spine has hyper lordosis, not at all to the point that it's pathological/causing me pain. It's just a bit annoying. Think my dad and brother have it too. Ie only just noticed it now as other people notice it

We all have quite big bellies even though we're not fat. Well my dad is but me and my brother weigh normal but our stomachs looks bit distended. Kind of like kwashiorkor imo, obviously not as dramatic but that kind of appearance. We also both have a short torso compared to our legs, maybe due to this too.

Basically advice I want is if this is a common question to you and what advice you give out. Is it even that bad. I'm afraid as I keep doing big lifts my spine can only get worse. Maybe see a physio. Is it not that big a problem. Posture training. Wtf do I do help me
