Got my gymnastic rings last week and it seems I've over done it a bit and given myself some mild elbow pain. I've rested it for the last 3 days but it's a bit frustrating and I'm eager to get back into working out. After looking into it a bit, it seems that resting for beyond more than a few days actually isn't the recommended modern advice, and you should actually gently work through the pain while incorporating rehab exercises. Any anons have experiences/advice with tennis elbow? I seem to have a very mild case, I don't notice it throughout my daily life for now, only when I start working out. Not sure if I should continue to rest or get back into exercising for now. Starting to do some rehab exercises either way.
>>76674070I got tennis AND golfer's elbow in both elbows when I spammed pull ups and dip supersets without properly ramping up. Look up mark rippetoe's video on healing elbow tendinitis. >inb4 starting strengthI swear it worked for me, got rid of all pain. To other anons out there; does rippletits have some sort of Parkinson's or something? I have not watched him in a long time and I just pulled up a recent video of him, his speech and mannerisms kind of look like it. I don't know if it confirms that starting strength does cause severe retardation kek (or at least dunning kruger), but it's sad to see a piece of my early fitness / internet experience turn out like that.
>>76674148very skeptical of this but did a few sets of low rep chin ups (and a a few neutral grip) anyway and didnt feel too bad. will see how this goes throughout the week.
>>76674070What exercise do you think caused it? Dips? Bad joint positioning? Sudden overload?
>>76674070Train your forearm extensor muscles with reverse wrist curls to failure 3-4 times a week
>>76674227i think mostly just doing too many ring dips too quickly in combination with high volume of pull ups. i was doing a lot of dips experimenting with different positions and forms so likely a lot of them were in bad positions. didnt feel any pain in the moment but was continuing to work after feeling fatigued. like i said though it is a very mild form of pain, im cautiously optimistic that i can get rid of it within just a week or two, but i'm worried about making it worse.
Working through some golfers elbow at the moment. Not sure it helps OP but earlier this year I moved on from doing 3x10-12 reps of chin ups to a dedicated chin up progression program that had me double my volume more or less in within a week and by the end was doing well over 100, never had elbow pain. More recently I started doing barbell bicep curls ontop of weighted chin ups and ramped up the intensity pretty quickly, pain in my forearm just in front of elbow was apparent but ignore-able... but then I figured that I am playing pretty fast and loose with this stuff and I'm mid 30s so not getting any younger. NGL: I think I will just stick to ez bar curls from now on. >>76674148I've heard of this but I am gently sceptical. I won't rule it out - how long did you follow the protocol for? At the moment I'm doing zero bicep stuff, avoiding holding baby in a way that aggravates it, and doing various wrist exercises, shoulder work and finger grip and extension stuff.
>>76674239Decrease load for a while, use slow excentrics to warm up and check what part of the range is affected.
>>76674070How much you weight? Brutal blackpill is that tall and heavy guys put alot more stress in joints using bodyweight excercises.
>>76674070Overuse and/or tense muscle - release from the neck down.
>>76674070>>76674231This. I had golfer's elbow for months and fixed it in 2 days by spamming wrist curls. Try spamming reverse wrist curls. That should help tennis elbow.
Supplement boron, pink/celtic salt
>>76674070At the start of summer I arm wrestled and beat a guy, but gave myself tennis elbow in the process. I work a physical job and lift 3-4 days a week and it was awful.I've had it before but this time was awful. I looked into everything I could, pin firing, rest, pt, all of it and nothing was helping. This went on for a month.One day at work we had a last minute non palletized truck show up and I had to jump in and unload it by hand. I was in pain, and in my despair I cried out to God, saying "Lord, please heal my arm, I know You can do it. I promise I won't arm wrestle any more."I went home and the next day I woke up and it was completely fine, started my normal lifting that day, been fine since. Now perhaps it was the unloading of the truck that acted as a sort of unintentional pin firing protocol, or perhaps it was the mighty right hand of God reaching down. I believe God may have answered my prayer via the truck.Pray to God and go unload a big truck.
Wrist extensor heavy slow, look it up. Clanker AI has been massively helpful for me, but heavy slow is a godsend for tendons.
>>76675723how "heavy" are we talking about?
>>76674070>Any anons have experiences/advice with tennis elbow?Yeah, tried several "therapies" and nothing helped. Flexbar aggravated it. Nutrition/supplements and not stressing it are somewhat effective, but I won't stop lifting. Changed routine to avoid problem movements, but it always gets tweaked eventually.
>>76677052Depends how trained you are. I do 5kg but I'm a dyel. You should bring upper forearm nearer to the flexor on the bottom forearm that are used to naturally lift 2.5x times the load of the upper
I've gotten golfer's elbow through 60kg db kroc rows with fat grips and then aggravated it further by doing heavy landscaping not that long after, it's been like one and a half week since I stopped any taxing activity and it still kinda hurts in certain daily movements, nothing drastic, but I think lifting is off limits for now. I got this shit a few years ago and it went ago on its own though after a long wait.
Do physical therapy mate, they have machines that help accelerate the healing; cold laser, ultrasound, etc.
Rest and BPC-157 works wonders.
Is there a point in going to the doctor for this? Seems like they'll tell me to stretch and rest it and then take my money. I've had a steroid shot before for my knee and it didn't help much so I doubt another would help now.>>76677062How long until it stipped hurting in daily life? Most of my hobbies and my job cause pain. I've only been dealing with it for a short time and just stretch it and wear a brace that may be the flexbar you mentioned, idk. It seems to help.
>>76678948Same, but also used TB500. Shit healed not just elbows, but shoulders and lower back too. Feels like cheating, honestly. I'm about to put my grandpa with arthritis on BPC+TB, he has nothing to lose anyway.
>>76679091>How long until it stipped hurting in daily life?If I take it easy for two or three days it subsides. Years ago I got it and stopped lifting (casually) and it was nine months before it was gone and didn't come back.
My personal experience is its all related to forearm weakness. Resting your arm on your leg and rotating a dumbbell works well and other forearm exercises. Just strengthen the forearm.
