__//​//__ This is one of those tricky injuries that happens and sometimes, you are not quite sure how it happened. This is a fairly frequent injury in bodybuilding, but not in football, and the more sever injuries will require surgy to be repaired. Injuries to the biceps and triceps tendons around the elbow are rare. They typically follow a history of trauma involving forceful eccentric contraction of the muscle and predictably result in weakness and pain. Conservative management of this injury is restricted to some partial tears and to those patients who may be unfit for surgery. Non-operative management of complete ruptures results in predictably poor results. So, an acute anatomic repair of these injuries is considered optimal. Delayed repair has been described using various grafts for augmentation with results that are good, but less predictable. Another type of injury which could be a precursor to the triceps tear, is triceps tendonitis. Triceps tendonitis is a serious condition and can put you in a lot of pain and can limit your training capabilities. Symptoms include; pain around the lower part of the back of the arm, pain when you try to full straighten the arm or full bend the arm, bruising around the back of the arm near the elbow and swelling around the back of the elbow. Triceps tendonitis symptoms are reoccurring and will most often be felt every time you put excessive strain on the triceps. Diagnosing this injury is usually done by taking an x-ray to see if a chip off the bone may be causing the triceps tendonitis.

The triceps accounts for approximately 60 percent of the upper arm's muscle mass, but people who exercise the arms with weights often neglect this group of muscles in favor of the biceps brachii. The triceps can be worked through either isolation elbow extension movements, contract statically to keep the arm straightened against resistance, or compound pressing movements.
