👉 You can use a strap around your forearm to relieve the pressure on the painful tendon in your elbow - they work for golfer's (inside) elbow as well as tennis (outside) elbow. Some options: - Strap with pneumatic pad: geni.us/LOaTMH - Strap with built-in pad: geni.us/OgYawKZ If you buy anything via these links, we may get a small commission at no extra cost to you.

This is a mistake I made today, I immediately jumped on too many reps too quickly. Just as I lay down and laid my elbow on my stomach I felt a sharp pain. Thank you for this advice I'll be taking a rest tomorrow and plan out my routine

This channel is SO good. Thank you. I was not resting enough. Doh.

Great video, thanks.

This is such an excellent channel. I'm trapped in a youtube "broscience" bubble, filled with terrible advice about how to deal with weightlifting injuries. A lot of the advice is stuff like "doing sets of 50-100 reps to increase blood flow to help the tendon heal". Thanks to your channel, I now understand that that's ridiculous; you're not helping the tendon heal by doing MORE exercise with it! Just avoid doing the things that make it hurt, progress slowly, and that's all you can really do on your own! A lot of us just don't want to swallow the hard pill that healing can take a long time and there's not much you can do to speed that up other than avoiding hurting it more. Thank you!

Useful Tip Thanks a lot

Literally the first person to make sense of my bilateral elbow tendinitis !!

Great video with actionable info!!

This is tremendously helpful.

Great video. Super helpful, Thank you

Great video. Thx.

Very informative. Thank you.

Very helpful! Thank you.

Started adding towels to imorove my grip strength. Feel it inside my elbow, only sore during a lift. Great advice, ill take a week and start back with 1/3 of my pulling volume

Thanks for info❤️

Mine manifested on both sides when, after months of hanging and eventually starting to pull myself up very slightly, I decided to attempt a negative pull-up, and it felt like I absolutely fried the insides of both elbows on the way down. So frustrating. Thank you much for this video.

Loved this video! It is just what I needed to know, 4 days ago I injured my elbow at the gym and the pain hasn’t really stopped, I get a sharp pain at times and I thought stretching it everyday would ease the pain, and how wrong I was, now I know it is actually marking it worse! I was just about to go to the gym again with my elbow still hurting, but after this video I’ll actually give it a rest for more time, Thank you so much and you got a new sub!

I got elbow pain after my workouts and it's been preventing me from making progress. I've tried changing up my workouts, but it hasn't helped much. However, I found some really useful information that gave me a better idea of what's causing the pain and how I can start dealing with it.

Correct advise !!!

Excellent advice!

Thanks, Doc!

Excellent

Thank you! ❤️ From India

Tips for tricep tendinitis?

Thank you. My is golfer and for 5 months I did well but my mistake was adding an additional arm day behind another which gave me no rest day before my next session. I knew better but I didn’t think nothing would happen. Now im a week 1/2 behind but it’s worth to heal. I’ll give it another week or so then I’ll get back to it with lighter weights. Thanks for this. It helped.

Excellent - I am experiencing discomfort on my inner elbow, and this helped me to understand I have Golfers elbow. I am doing Push (triceps) day then Pull day (biceps), so probably not giving my arms enough time to recover. I will try Push, Legs, Pull and use a strap to see how it goes! Thank you for making this video - subbed!

i got golfers elbow from gym weights and im doing that for 14 years and i didnt have that problem. When i started pull ups and incline curls it started slowly with pain on left and right elbow. I got that pain for 2 years now but its slowly going away because i stoped with pull ups and incline curls, for the hammer curls i got no problem doing it or revers curl. I still got pain on left elbow but on right not that much. Lucky that i dont have that pain all day but if i make that move like incline curl its starts and goes away... Its hard to quit gym for a month or more.

Thank you

Thankyou so much

Thank you very much. I had an elbow injury and going back to the gym I pushed my arms too hard and had an acute overload problem with my tendon, so now I know what to do!

Man i got injured again it's so frustrating, i start to believe that genetically i'm just prone to it... sucks. It's funny that everyone seems to have a different opinion on how to treat golfer's ellbow. But I think u make the most sense by saying that it needs rest and time to repair itsself and not additional exercise.

I just taped it and so far it's proven to be effective

it appears to be the only video that makes sense, now I kow why doing all the stretching and rolling out made it worst.

25 years in a mechanic shop, with a heavy impact wrench all day, shocking your arm, did mine.

i’ve ruined my right elbow. heavy dumbbell pressing. felt the precursor. ignored it. now i need to take time off.

I been working out from home for last 2 years and I joined gym last week and I do have a shoulder and elbow pain since . Only at the gym so what should I do?

I've been dealing with what I believe to be tennis elbow for probably about 2 months now. I believe it was caused by overloading triceps on lying dumbbell presses (skull crushers), combined with reverse curls. Anyhow, I knew the next day I had a problem, as I could barely pick up my phone at work. I cut way back lifting initially, but then we had two massive snowfalls, in which I had no choice but to shovel a ton of snow. Neither of those helped me out. I've tried to do a couple workouts in the past month or so, which typically there's not any extra pain during, but the next day. For the time being, I'm staying away from weightlifting entirely, and just focusing on cardio workouts. Unfortunately, little things like putting on and taking off my coat, or opening doors, or washing my hands, or typing, are all aggravating the pain. All of these seemingly mundane things cause more pain, irritation, and aggravation, then actually lifting weights. I'm getting pretty frustrated at this point, as these things are much harder to avoid than lifting. In addition, things like doing laundry, dishes, getting groceries, etc. I've tried/done a number of stretches, exercises recommended by physical therapists, some of which provide temporary relief. I've also been wearing a brace, quite a bit, as it's about the only thing that consistently provides relief.

Thank you for the info! l'll stop stretching. I strained a tricep doing Standing Overhead Tricep Extensions 2 months ago, haven't worked out since. Now for the last month pain is also radiating down into the forearm as what some describe as Golfers Elbow... Is this common with a Tricep injury ?

Do i need to stop lifiting for a while till i heal?

I have been weight training since August and slowly ramping up, but I think I jumped to full-weight pullups too soon as after a couple weeks of pullups I suddenly could barely do barbell curls and had constant tension/pain in both the outside and inside of my forearms around my elbows. I had a feeling the answer to make it go away was going to be "rest it" but I really hoped there would be some magic exercise I could do lol. Anyway, thank you for the sage advice. I'll stick to "push" exercises and take a break from pull exercises until they start to feel better and then slowly ramp back up.

What's going on with the background flickering? Especially on the left (her right). I'm very sensitive to such things, dunno if I can watch the whole vid.

Doing curls in an unusual position and misjudged the 20 pounds PSI hyperextended my arm at the elbow.and bam pain. I couldn't do pull ups, six days ago and ouch,

first of all thank you for your clip and information I have this pain in my both elbows and while bench press or arms days I fell pain so I leave the weight and just ignore the weights, even this made me decide to quit gym for a month till it recover, because I you said prevent is better than cure so I dont want to made it more serious than now. so what will you advice me, do I need to continue my workout or quit for a month? I dont have pain unless I do bench press or arms or dip. thank you in advance. waiting for your reply.

Am I right to presume there are degrees of severity to this condition? I get the kind of pain described here but it's only when I'm directly working biceps/triceps. I don't feel this pain in any other exercise. The pain is quite mild, far from unbearable; more of an annoyance than anything else. It lasts (while I'm at home) a day or two after I hit the arms hard, and then goes away. Do I have any cause for concern?

thank u mam , for giving the information of tendons. I have question , in my tricep tendon a acute pain occur during exercise like push up and tricep over head extension and it occur only during exercise and during normal life style there is no pain in extending and contracting elbow, IS IT A TENDINOPATHY OR A TEAR IN TRICEP TENDON????? PLZZ HELP

Oh good god I've had tight forearms last autumn and had sudden elbow pain, went away, got fucking awful after 225lbs bench, not so bad now, all gone in the shoulder 😊

How much time should the recovery rest be like a couple of days or a week?

Recently I started training heavier but I’m a iron worker and have been starting to get golfers elbow…. I can’t afford to stop training due to the supplements I am currently taking and I’m seeing results I’m 40 years old I have been in and out of bodybuilding since a teen… it does feel slightly better after some stretching…. Can golfer’s elbow be caused by not properly stretching? Oh also sometimes I go to the gym three times a day because I’m depressed but after working out I feel better about myself and feel better in general.. is there some exercises that can help golfers elbow to go away?

I have golfers elbow and was wondering if it was ok to do powerlifting with golfers elbow

thing that sucks is I did the whole rest thing, took it easy for months, then after that, 2 weeks back in the gym and bang it's back, not as bad as before but it came back nonetheless. I suppose I didn't do the strengthen gradual training thing properly.

So, the key point here even if you were a gym person couple of years ago, and suddenly wanted to go back again for lifting weights, you have to start from scratch. Especially, if you were a middle age person😭

Actually my elbow hurts and so I didn't do much exercise or workout especially push ups it hurts the most and it's already been a month, any suggestions?

I've got a real problem in my elbows. I built up reps slowly with relatively light weights , but both elbows flared up. It's been 8 weeks now, despite rest and no more weights, and they're still sore. Acupuncture didn't help , and they get painful as soon as I have to lift something. A physio gave me gentle exercises but they haven't helped either, so I am at a loss to know what to do

Hi, I have always lifted weights although for last 14mths I have been struggling with really bad golfers elbow (epicondylitis), mainly on left side. The pain has recently moved to the bally elbow bone and I wake up at night with it through pain and stiffness. The pain is also starting to come into my right arm. I have had an MRI at early stages which stated common flexor tendinosis and also has a steroid injection nearly a year ago, although lots of rest and multiple physio sessions after haven’t helped much. I have been resting now for past 4 weeks as pain increased and isn’t subsiding…now that is is at the bone I am really struggling to get any advice other than consultant who is now recommending more injections. Stretching used to be fine also although now pain makes this nearly impossible. Anyone else had a similar experience or advice as to where to go from here? Thanks

5years, tried everything it feels like. I cant even do 100g reverse curl without feeling worse. How the hell am i supposed to get better? Please help me save my life

Thank you! After 12 straight weeks of being pushed to the limit at the gym (a total sedentary beginner of 15+ years) my bf got a pretty bad case of tennis elbow and even some hip tendonitis too. I will pass on your advice to stop using his arms for a while and try to strengthen the extension muscles before he goes back to big loads. Man, I hate very young personal trainers that take your body and ruin it just because they themselves are hyped about training.

What about the back of the elbow? It hurts while, swimming and pressing, like bench press and shoulder press?

Can we really get back to gym and lift heavy after recover from tennis elbow

Being a sports person I knew all these but still I decided to be a stupid idiot. While doing skull crusher exercise I loaded over weight and now my tennis elbow is in pain. Is there any medication to fast process this recovery ??? Plz tell me if there is any 🙏🏼😅

does a lack of protein have anything to do with it?

I rested for 5 months. Nothing changed. So I made a MR: my elbows is perfect! No epicondilytis, no artrhosis or other. But i have tennis elbow's pain!

idk its not easy to take a rest from lifting weights when it's something I do for more than 12 years

8 years and counting golfers elbow

This is absolutely the worst advice. Zero pain leads to repeated injury and worse outcomes. Your tendon needs blood flow to heal, which requires exercise. It needs to have the fibers aligned the right way which requires exercise. It needs to strengthen which requires exercise. Yes, you can do too much, but if your pain is a 3-4 during, a 4-6 the next day, and back down to a 1-2 after a rest period, you should do the correct exercises that target that tendon
