forearm extensors tenderness

[Gerald Mangona]

My extensors in my forearm (the muscles that activate when I'm spreading my fingers outward) are tender. Especially right near where they connect to the elbow. My elbow tricep tendon tenderness is finally gone as I've reduced volume...do I need to reduce volume some more? Here are my questions...

(1) This isn't pain, it's soreness. So is this something that I just need to massage through? Or do I really need to rest it?

(2) Which FSPs and FBEs are the culprits? I've already swapped L-Sits for L-Hangs since I'm already doing gradual work to progress to an RTO ring support posture and I wanted to reduce tricep work. Is it the handstand work? Or is it just any exercise where I'm gripping the rings?

(3) Or, in lieu of reducing volume, is this just something where I just need to get a rice bucket?

Thanks,

Jerry

Well, i'm betting this is an aggravated tendon from overuse. Gonna take another week off . Then I'm gonna drop all the FSPs except support work, L Hang, and handstand. Levers and German hang will just have to wait until I finish some of the other progressions. Then im dropping volume from 5x5 down to 3x5 for the FBEs. I'll also begin doing rice bucket work and wrist pre-hab once I'm feeling better.

Not what I was hoping but probably the right move. Someone let me know if I'm over/under-reacting. It's been 5 hrs since my workout and those extensor tendons are still tender. Man, I had no idea how easily my tendons could get over-extended.
