Going back to when the pain first started it was definetly poor form, I can't deny that. I was a novice and had no clue what I was doing. I stayed out of the gym for years because of it and returned roughly 3 years ago.

Now, you do bring up an interesting point. I don't believe I'm flaring out my elbows but perhaps I am. If there's one thing i'm not it's closed to suggestions and opinions. I'm going to make a point of having someone critique my form the next time I go at it.

What you write also gives me hope, believe it or not, if the issue is form then perhaps the role of the tear may be less significant.

Once again, I do appreciate all of your replies.

Eric,I read in a previous post that you are opposed to Wide Grip. Interestingly, enough that's what I've been doing. Wide Grip for about 2 years.

So as you say, I don't believe my form has been all that perfect.

You made an interesting point. Powerlifter doing wide grip for 1 rep vs Non-Powerlifter for more reps. Come to think of it a power lifter is who recommended I do the Wide Grip. I figured if it works for him....

Thanks, for the info I'm going to a more neutral grip at once.
