>unironically got golfer's elbow from curls
Lmao was my form shit or what? I feel pain in that marked area after starting curls again.
>>
i got both golfer and tennis elbow, what fixed me is having hip surgery that significantly reduced my capacity to work out, in other words, I took a long break.

Stop doing curls, take a month or two off, it should heal over time, and then you need to slowly push into curls, you need to stress the tendons but not too much, you need to go about 7/10 effort and keep the weight on the tendon, after some time, this induces something called stress relaxation, and it helps remodel the tendon.

pull from above with elbow pushed forward with acute angle in elbow only with your wrist on rubber
it looks basically as if you tried to pat yourself on the head, in fact you might wanna get your head out of the way
elbow does not move shoulder is not tugged backwards - then it's biceps

yes it's completely normal to get all sorts of problems from curls cause you're focusing on biceps and it ain't doing biceps at all so you try your hardest and fuck yourself up, front delt clamping on long head biceps tendon is making sure biceps is not worked

Your forearms were too weak. Or you didn't take recovery seriously.

Eat chicken feet everyday, and don't do weighted elbow flexion for 8 months.

I had this happen as well from curling 75lb dumbbells too soon, I think.


I fixed it with theraband flex bar, doing Tyler Twists exercises. And rest ofc

When you pick up the weight, roll your fingers open then tightly closed from index to pinkie, not pinkie to index. It's likely your pinkie is significantly shorter than your index finger, and when you tighten your hand from pinkie to index, you're putting the strain of controlling the weight on your weakest finger. As the dumbbell moves, it's putting strain on your pinkie causing your palm to rotate toward your thumb, stretching the tendon that causes golfer's elbow. Then everything else you do in the gym or at home exacerbates the problem. Rest your elbows on your desk while you type? Ouch. Pullups at the gym? Ouch again.

This also happens when you pull heavy (deadlift), and attempt to grip the bar with your pinkie and your palm rotates toward your thumb, stretching the tendon that causes golfer's elbow. Loose grip, then tighten your grip from the first two fingers of each hand to the outside. Your pinkie won't be carrying much weight, which is fine, because that's what you want to avoid.

Check your rotator cuff and thoracic mobility. It's common to heavily compensate with your elbows when your shoulders and upper back are not good.

I started doing curls again after 1 year hiatus. Keep in mind, I spam weighted pull ups and dips so I doubt it was because of lack of strenght.

so it's wrist flexion overuse
avoid it entirely when working on biceps

>pull from above with elbow pushed forward with acute angle in elbow only WITH YOUR WRIST ON RUBBER

>but muh stretched out tendon
when i do my unilateral "pullup" shoulder depressions from full shoulder elevation and SOME elbow flexion (it's 2 separate movements really) i pull on rubber again - chest expander hanging from ceiling, i tied additional rubbers to it to make it "heavy" as it needs to be
just months ago i had both golfers and tennis elbow and cllicky wrists - IT'S GONE :d
the biceps rubber is tied nto the chest expander :D

not that picture does not entirely convey the movement:

>it looks basically as if you tried to pat yourself on the head, in fact you might wanna get your head out of the way
but it's close enough
