I was gonna not click on this, then I saw that you produced it, so I changed my mind because I knew it would be a quality video. I was not disappointed, another consistently quality video by NSP

It can also be an osteophyte on the elbow joint caused by bleeding, such as a small tear, etc. that leads to calcium build up. This results in a bony spur on the tip of the elbow. It must be surgically removed, as it will have a tendency to repeatedly tear the tricep tendon. This is what happened to me. But also from repeated stress on the joint as mentioned in the video.

Some cases, bony spur grows from heavy labor. Bursitis and /or bone spur

Thanks for clearing that up nick! I used to get it when I was bulking nothing painful or causing problems just massive pointy elbows that disappeared after I had to give up lifting for a year

I think this elbow injury is associated with heavy triceps exercises, I see a lot of people in the gym hurting his elbow especially in Skull-crusher…

Hi Nick, I saw a video from John Meadows on YT that referenced the elbows of a bb in the 80’s that this is from GH/IGF1. Could it be from both bursitis and PED’s?

It’s growth hormone not bursitis.

I had this issue once and it took about 3 drains. I have seen you tube channels where athletes drain it themselves. I WOULD NOT recommend this. I went to my primary care provider and they would numb the area, insert a pretty good size guage needle and slowly draw out the fluid. Sometimes he would pull the needle out and place it in another part of the inflamation. It was not painful to drain. The fluid looked allot like grapefruit juice. After about 3 drains it went away. I would recommend most bodybuilders refrain from doing too many sets of presses and tricep work. As soon as I cut back a little it went away. I read on You Tube so many bodybuilders who have this crazy idea they need to be in the gym everyday. Its so ridiculous. You can make excellent gains cutting it back to every other day training. Todays ideas are nothing but madness. I am about 99% sure most of these guys and gals will not be training and if so not intensly once they reach their late 40s and beyond the rate they are going.
