Reoccuring tendonitis, Help!

[Tier]

I get tendinitis in my elbows only whenever I start getting really solid and consistent about my routine, I don't find anything particularly strenuous about it. It's a 3 day split Vertical / horizontal / leg but could I be over training? Or any ideas what the hell is going on or how I can fix it besides a boat load of advil?

Horiz:

Flat DB Press
vert row
cable fly
curls
incline press or flys

Vert:
Overhead press
chin up

You could doing something wrong technique-wise.

What are you trying to do? I am not a fan of 8 sets of 3 reps, and your RI is pretty low for that range.

Nothing in particular, just build muscle. I only feel the pain on the pulling movements too.

Have you tried accupuncture?

I had a torn bicep in '04. I had to change a lot of what I did as I went through the recovery process. I also had tendinitis before the bicep injury. This was before I came to IM so my technique sucked. I had to reduce my weight and increase reps to rebuild the bicep. My doctor also gave me a velcro band like the guys wear for tennis elbow to combine with the lower reps. This worked great for me. My bicep injury is long gone and the tendinitis is no more.

P.S.
I wore the band on the forearm ...

Thanks for the advice, I really never felt like I worked out after the 8x3 weeks anyway they just took forever to get through in the gym, I think I'm going to stick more to the 4x8 rep range and only lift really heavy once every few weeks.

It's weird with lifting 8x3, I get fatigued but I never really feel a pump or a burn, makes me think I wasted my time.
