Having a hard time lifting.

Research any type of rehab you can do. Maybe go to a physical therapist, they have helped me in the past. There is always a workaround to injury when lifting.

Tendinitis is easy to rehab, see a physical therapist.

Best thing I've ever purchased for tendinitis issues related to doing pullups.

Fish oil. You can try collagen too.

My wrists have always been an issue too. I find straps make a big difference. I use Cobra Grips and they’ve helped me immensely.

I had the same problem as a drummer for 30 years - had to start strapping up in order to play. It can be really debilitating.

Body weight fitness

I got was getting this too at first. It's probably because you haven't exercised those muscles in so long. Many-a-guys that come to trp are skinny-fat guys that have never exercised or are dusting off their gears and getting things to working condition. It's because so many guys are BP's and don't put any thought into exercising.

Do a good warm-up first, like 100+ jumping jacks or 20 minutes of cardio. Get the blood flowing. Also make sure you are getting 1 gallon of water a day. Also, I second getting in Omega-3's fatty fish oils. You want to make sure you are getting the right vitamins for your joints and muscles.

I had crazy bad elbow tenonitis. Couldn't open a jar of peanut butter. My physio fixed it in three sessions

Ice the tendon. Heat the muscle on both ends. Deep massage the muscle. Use oil. Get an Indian rubber ball and put it on a table. Put your arm on top of it then massage the muscle with it

Allmax Allflex can help alleviate the pain, temporarily

Also, try switching your deadlift grip, and using narrow grip for bent-over rows

Hgh and TB500 should do the trick

Try going paleo for a few months until your angry tissues stop swelling. I hate "pure paleo" diets in general as a fad but they really do help with inflammation issues. Keto works too but paleo goes one step further to ensure that you're getting a lot of collagen in your diet.

Have you trained hard for decades and now have nagging tendonitis in your forearms, or did you just start training recently and your forearms are sore. If the latter, consume quality food and BCAAs, get plenty of rest, ice after training, and keep training. Use wrist wraps on the bench press, the kind powerlifters wear, not junky ones that are sold in sports equipment stores.

Try hanging! It helps a lot for the whole arm muscle structure.

Where is the pain? Is it legit in the middle of your forearm or closer to the elbow? I've found for tendonitis the first thing you need to do is identify if you have a muscular imbalance. Look at the antagonist muscles and start working them into your routine with very light weight and high reps. Massage the area and really get in there, using a lacrosse ball to work out the knots. Cross massage the tendons themselves if you can reach. Your first few times it's going to hurt but will get better with time. Physical therapy has absolutely saved my shoulder, as I tore my rotator cuff AND developed tendonitis in the short and long head of my biceps tendon. Lastly I'm a really big fan of injecting BPC-157 near the tendon, but not everyone is comfortable with that. Whatever you do, don't completely stop working the offending area as this leads to worse blood flow, haults delivery of badly needed nutrients to the tendon, and allows the injury to fester, leading to possibly worse injuries. Good luck. Tendonitis sucks, but can be beaten.

I had bad forearm pain when i did too much volume at too much weight too soon.

Take some fish oils, take it easy on volume and weight - build it up. For the exercises that give you pain, stop doing them and reincorporate them in maybe 3 weeks, slowly.
