Joint pain during heavy 5's

[Spyke]

Wanted to see if you guys had any tips to help me out. Now that I am in the heavy 5's I have noticed my right knee feels sore when I squat. I have no pain or soreness after I workout, just during the actual rep. Same thing with my right elbow when I bench and dip.

Can I take anything to help this?

is the pain in your elbow on the inside or outside?

Not sure what you are doing before your sets of 5's but I would try to warm up real well first. I have chronic pain in both elbows at the triceps insertion area. If I do a couple of high rep sets of tricep pushdowns before my pressing movements, it seems to help. Once my joints get flushed with blood, the tendonitis seems to calm down quite a bit.

Good Luck

I'd consider buying a glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM complex. They work great for joint support.

I found the same in my 5's as well.

Glucosamine at the start of the next training cycle helped wonders.
