I have been training on rings now for at least 8 Month and I have been doing handstands and acrobatics for the last 8 years at least twice a weak. The last 8 month I have trained quite strict 4-7times a week (depends how fresh I felt) for 45min to 1,5h per day. When I train >4times a week, I never go bigger then 1h per day. Again, I listen to my body and take it from there. I am currently on 8%bf at round 190lbs (just to give you an idea of workload and stuff. I am spot on with my diet. ( To explain that in detail would take too much time;-), you now what I mean. My Problem: I recently moved in my steady state planche cycle to the next progression. tucked/round back -> flat back. I completed my last cycle within aprox 10 weeks and the new progression was hard but felt allright first. So now my planche work looks like 16x 4sec holds with 45sec rest periods in between. The first two sessions were ok but then I started to feel pain close to the bone in my forearm. The pain just started when I finished my holds "right when I released the strain", so NOT under endurance. I didn´t thought a lot of it but it got worse and worse. I took 4days off (too many off days kinda drive me nuts,to say that )and tried again. And yup- the pain is still there and now also present when I flex the forearm to do anything else. I had to deal with all sorts of joint pain back in the days but thats all history. So this is something new and I do not quite know how to proceed. It would be great to get some piece of inside advice/ tips of someone who suffered something similar. I attached a picture to give you an idea where the pain is located.... (it fells like there is not enough space in my forearm and the muscle is somehow pressing aganist the bone...) Yes, I now how stupid that sounds Thank you for your time!
