Thank you this is help me a lot I'm definitely gonna take what you have said on board and stay away from chin-ups with the bar and probably implement some straps.
you all probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Saint Wesson I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Elbow pain is a bitch. I've also found neutral grip chin ups to work wonders as well as adding ring support holds and sufficient tricep development in the overhead position :)
Im was progressing really good with my pull ups but all of the sudden my left elbow started hurting and couldnt do much pull ups anymore because of the pain, i could work tru the pain but i know its not a good idea.
Had golfers elbow for years, it was terrible, I couldn't even open door handles. I Tried everything to get rid of it. In the end it was when i started doing deadlifts of all things that it started improving. Double overhand and a weight that would test my grip. I'm not sure if it was my improving grip strength or just getting more blood into my forearms that helped but this was the only thing that worked for me in 5 years of actively trying many different approaches and seeing many different physiotherapists. Good luck anyone suffering from it.
This makes perfect sense! Current research suggests that the most effective treatment for tendinopathy is rest and slow heavy excercise. I have struggled to find a good way to go slow, controlled and heavy with this specific injury. Working with wrist or elbow flexion/extension typically aggravates the problem (no matter what the research says). I haven´t thought of trying straight arm neutral or prontated gripping. Will be testing this. Thanks :)
alexander flame I wonder if the extended arm use of the tendons helped as well. time was when I did lots of KBs and chinups/pullups, when my kb weight went up, my golfer's elbow went away and pretty much stayed away, when I've done fewer deads or KBs, it would creep back in.
Oh wow, this makes a lot of sense actually. I recently started climbing a lot and took away my deadlifting days. Now I'm suffering from golfer's elbow. I need to go back and add deadlifts back into my program.
My own experience: I've started to feel the pain regularly (say, everyday) when decided to abruptly increase the amount of pull-up/chin-up SETS in a workout (say, from 3-4 to 6-8 or even 10). The problem was (as I understood later) that *the PULLING MOTION* (like in pull-ups, chin-ups, deadhang, etc.) in my workout routine *wasn't balanced with the PUSHING MOTION* (like in push-ups, dips, handstand, handstand push-ups, etc.). Joints and tendons require careful approach we often don't provide. So, I cut my pull-up/chin-up sets to just 2 plus 2 sets of deadhang, and balanced it with 2 sets of dips plus 2 sets of static handstand. And BOOM, after months of pain, it just evaporated in days.
Honestly I just stopped working out, couldn't handle it anymore but elbows still bugging me! Think I'll give your method a try and do some light sets! 🤞

@@bewarethefuryofapatientman woah i feel like this is part of my golfers elbow. i didnt get pain with a straight bar crossfit rig. but i got pain from a new gym that had more girth pull up station. after my 5 pull i can still get in more but i grip gives way causing me to hang from the the tips. which id say is from the forth finger! .amazing i think i should have to train my grip and forearms and lift from the index finger. thanks man
I’m doing mainly (probably only…) pushing movements all of my life. I knew that i need to balance it but I didn’t do it. Now i have golfer’s elbow from a little movement during the day, pushing something couple of times and I’m in pain that increases and increases. I stopped training hard handstands this days and changed it to mainly surfing. But I’m going to try to do pulling exercises now to balance maybe my muscular ‘pushing’ system that is much more developed that the pulling… Thank you 🙏 If you have any recommendations for exercises or balanced routine I’ll be happy to do that :)
There are many factors in ways to treat tennis elbow. One plan I found which succeeds in merging these is the Trevs Remedy Tactic (check it out on google) definately the most useful resource that I have ever seen. Check out the unbelievable information .
Thank you for the advice !! I am experiencing golfers elbow right now and this has been very helpful. I love how calmly you speak makes it so easy to follow and understand.
I've stopped doing pull-ups for a full year now and my golfer's elbow still hasn't healed.... overtraining is a real thing make sure you let your tendons and muscles heal.
A week of rest, completely. Since then I've only done a few supersets of lightweight bicep curls and wrist extensions in the 30-50 rep range. It has helped immensely. Thanks Daniel!
Very good video. I am actually starting to feel the onset of this particular injury...so thanks! Please post more of these. Your explanations are more thorough and professional than your competition.
Absolutely Really important and useful to talk about injury prevention and managment Looking forwards to see more for safe and longlasting training Thanks!
Really helpful video Dan. I have been suffering with golfer's elbow from supinated grip straight bar chins over the past few months. I would wake up with real tenderness the next day. Doing my pull ups on the rings has really helped and also just doing pull ups with a pronated grip when on the straight bar. Also, to reduce hand grip tension I have reverted to a fingers only hook grip when doing pronated pull ups on a straight bar so all of your advice here applies from what I have been experiencing. Videos like this advising on anatomy and such are great by the way, tank you.
I am a total beginner and right now trying my best with TH-cam videos and books - it was very helpful to hear, that joint pain is common and how to avoid it / deal with it - thank you very much!
I actually have a tendinopathy, i've loved this video ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've had a lot of injuries by the past, i'd love to see more of this kind of videos !
Thanks man appreciate the upload and will definitely give the rings a shot because Ive been dealing with this tendon issue for a while now but love training to much to stop
Really enjoy your calm and deliberate explanations and particularly liked your explanation of what happens in the tendons, the disorganized matrix, helps me visualize how important it is to take care of pain messages when they start and not just "live with it". The occasional elbow pain I get is on the outside of the elbow joint. Rest and dragging my finger tips along the tendons constantly is how I deal with it. Mostly doesn't bother me now. I'm 68 and working on one arm chins. Great video, thanks much.
One of the best Fitness Channels on YT so far... watch this and "calimove" and you basically have the knowledge to train with perfect form. I had this problem too, not very intensively, but it was there. Causes: Weighted Pull-ups and hard variations such as Archer Pull-ups and explosive Pull-ups, combined with wrist and forearm training after doing the pull exercises. Everything on a straight bar. Symptoms: Not noticeable while training, but directly after and maybe the next morning / day after a training session. "Cured" mostly within a day. Work-Around: -extended warm-up of wrists, elbows, shoulders -decreased volume (1 to 2 sessions per week) -decreased intensity while training -filming myself and slowing down while exercising in order to... -keep a good form (correct elbow position, keeping wrists in a neutral position) -extended stretching That worked for me pretty well, and I once again realized how damn important your form actually is... Probably the most crucial thing in every kind of sport.
thank you very much for the video. I'm going through this problem now .. I feel this pain more when I do the handstands .. more the tips were excellent .. for a long time looking for videos on this topic .. congratulations for the quality of the information on the channel.
Hey Daniel ! First of all what another great Video with informative content !! Just wanted to mention that more videos of this kind are really appreciated by me and a couple of friends ! i would love to hear more about foot structure and dysfunction as it translates up the kinetic chain. its not easy to find quality free content on those issues on the internet .. cheers ! keep up the good work :)
Great stuff Daniel, thanks. Please do a video about off-loading the stress on the wrists as well, especially the one that is caused by handstand training.
Thank you so much for this video. I have recently come down with golfers elbow, and your description of the symptoms is right on to what i am feeling. I am on my 4th day of relative rest. My problem started with straight bar pulls ups but since i do a lot of climbing/white water kayaking/spring board diving, it slowly became aggravated. So its good to hear that you recommend about a month of relative rest, because it means i can still do some paddling and easy climbing. Looking forward to getting back to the swing of things come Sept or Oct
Very professional content. I’ll give your ideas a go. It makes sense really. Haven’t used straps for years, at the same time it feels right to unload my grip. I’ve had tennis and golfers elbow for a long while so I’m not going to loose it that quickly. Thanks mate great content and presentation.
Thanks for another great video Daniel. I suffered from outer elbow pain while doing chin-ups with a supinated grip, and rope climbs. I took a cue from Overcoming Gravity with RICE therapy and gradually went back to it as you say in your video. This happened about 2-3 times, but has lessoned over time after doing more band assisted warm ups and wrist stretching and with grip training/ hangs, like you have noted in your previous videos and now is not really an issue.
Been watching a lot of your videos and the information you give is very insightful. Its brilliant your researching and applying everything your doing to your teaching thanks for this information mate, it means I can use other techniques in hope to avoid this injury. Hopefully on your next tour to Europe I can come along :) Ricky from the U.K.
Hey Danielle, for the past month or so I've had a lot of back pain. I work an office job and come home to sit on my computer as well.My lower back hurts as well as around my hips extending into the front of my body. I started doing your some of your beginner work outs, namely just your warm up video for back exercises and found it very therapeutic. It didn't surprise me to find out you were a physio. I've already begun to employ your 'back pain' video using the pole. I appreciate you. How lucky are we do receive professional advice through TH-cam?
Great video, very helpful and useful advice. When I first developed intense tendon pain in my elbows and wrists from high volume training in pull ups and dips a couple of years back, I basically had to do what you suggested: cut back on training intensity, volume and frequency; and I discovered neutral pull ups loaded the tendons much less too. I still have the elbows flaring up now and then, but am using different grip variations and training programs to forestall or at least ease the pain. And I really need to get serious about training on Rings! But while we can find workarounds for Pull exercises, I find it really hard to train around wrist and elbow tendon pain when it comes to Push exercises. I train Push using primarily dips and pushup exercises (switched to bodyweight-only training after a slipped disc operation 3 years ago), and when my wrists and elbows act up, I find that I have to back off and basically lay off my Push training until the joints recover, which could take weeks to a month. Do you have any advice on Push exercise variations we can try while working through wrist/elbow pain? Appreciate your help!
so helpful. i started doing weighted, neutral grip pullups, and was making decent progress, then inner elbow pain on one side halted it. its so tender just pushing the flush handle on a toilet is painful, but its not swollen. haven't been able to do any in a month .
Thank you! This has been a problem for me. I am relatively new to calisthenics, plus middle age. I have noticed soreness in the area, specially after harder pull-up workouts. I will be following your recommendations!
I am almost 60 and can pull up as much as I want. It's only when I began heavily weighting them that I experienced elbow pain. Switching to an ergonomic grip made all the difference. Keep up the excellent and sound advice!
Thanks for this post. I'm working on this issue, complicated by some elbow bone spurs, currently. I'm already warming, de-loading, resting, and using massage. However, I hadn't thought to include my rings in the mix. Greatly appreciated!
Ive had it twice from greasing the groove (overtraining). I fixed it by immediately taking two weeks off and using a theraband flexbar for rehab and an elbow brace. To prevent it, now I thoroughly warm up and only do neutral grip pullups on rings
Also used the theraband Flexbar for about 3 weeks, while continuing to do Crossfit. After 3 weeks of using the flexbar for about 3x20 reps a day, the injury was totally gone.
@@Puzzicanello Tyler Twist (Lateral Epicondylitis - Pain Outside of The Elbow) Reverse Tyler Twist (Medial Epicondylitis - Pain inside of the elbow) Both are good to do alongside one another even if you only have 1 injury :)
@@ollieb7370 Hi, my forearms feel sore/overworked after doing too many pushups and gets worse when I type (I work in IT) so overuse I think is perhaps a mix of both. Can sometimes feel tender to the touch (the area between the elbow and a bit down the upper side of the forearms). Been trying to cut back on computer use and not training for two weeks but they still feel strained/overused often, but not bad pain yet, I'm trying to prevent that from happening. Do you or anyone else recommend something I should do? I think not doing anything for more than 2 weeks isnt really productive either. Only did a bit of stretching. Thanks
You explained my symptoms word for word. Even the written comment that it eases once warmed up and it feels worse the next day. The strange case I have is that I first started a very very basic calisthenics workout routine nearly 1 year ago that only went for a few weeks. At that time I bought a new house, renovated it and had a new baby. So mu workout was put on hold completely. At some stage in that few weeks of basic training I started getting the elbow pain and annoyingly it has never gone away. Seems odd as it was far from being a continuous use injury but it is word for word exactly what you explained and no one has been able to explain it like that so far. I have finally started my new calisthenics routine about 5 weeks ago and this is a much more serious workout routine following the push, pull, legs/core methods. Last week I started doing a lot of the mobility exercises you showed in your video with the resistance band and the light dumbbell and I hope this helps me. Further more I already have a set of gymnastic rings on the way in the mail, so it's good to hear that they helped you out. I really hope they do the same for me.
I've had this but I only felt pain when doing tricep extensions and back lever. I stopped doing them for a couple of weeks and it's still healing. It used to hurt in simple tasks like carrying the grocery bags. Bottom line is, don't stop working out completely. Eliminate the exercises which hurt and go from there
@FitnessFAQs Thanks for another great video! Your videos are always very informative and motivating! I wondered if you could answer the following: 1) With golfer’s elbow, is it generally advisable to make any changes to pushing exercises? ie. should we stop doing hand stands, ring push ups, dips etc? 2) Did you get any benefit from doing "rehab" exercises or eccentric type stuff? 3) I only use rings, but I think this problem started when I started trying to train my false grip. I will probably stop false grip for a while, but do you have any advice for progressing very gradually towards false grip? Your knowledge and expertise is really appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Neutral grip is what caused my elbow pain ;-; But i think it's just because my upper back is weak

I started doing your some of your beginner work outs, namely just your warm up video for back exercises and found it very therapeutic. It didn't surprise me to find out you were a physio. I've already begun to employ your 'back pain' video using the pole. I appreciate you. How lucky are we do receive professional advice through TH-cam?
I am having pain from past days ..but can't stop myself from training ..thanks for the advice...will take rest and try to figure out new variations...
Great video, very helpful and useful advice. When I first developed intense tendon pain in my elbows and wrists from high volume training in pull ups and dips a couple of years back, I basically had to do what you suggested: cut back on training intensity, volume and frequency; and I discovered neutral pull ups loaded the tendons much less too. I still have the elbows flaring up now and then, but am using different grip variations and training programs to forestall or at least ease the pain. And I really need to get serious about training on Rings!
But while we can find workarounds for Pull exercises, I find it really hard to train around wrist and elbow tendon pain when it comes to Push exercises. I train Push using primarily dips and pushup exercises (switched to bodyweight-only training after a slipped disc operation 3 years ago), and when my wrists and elbows act up, I find that I have to back off and basically lay off my Push training until the joints recover, which could take weeks to a month.
Do you have any advice on Push exercise variations we can try while working through wrist/elbow pain? Appreciate your help!
I haven't even heared of the injury but it's super good to keep in mind if I'll notice some pain to know what to do👌 keep going with those.
Daaaaamn, Daniel, back at it again with a good vid.
so helpful. i started doing weighted, neutral grip pullups, and was making decent progress, then inner elbow pain on one side halted it. its so tender just pushing the flush handle on a toilet is painful, but its not swollen. haven't been able to do any in a month .
Hi Daniel, great vid. I got this problem too and I figured it by myself, but it's good to know that my approach was good :)
Please continue making these kinds of videos. :)
Suffering with it at the moment. Switched to band assisted for the time being which has helped. Will give rings a try! Cheers
Thank you! This has been a problem for me. I am relatively new to calisthenics, plus middle age. I have noticed soreness in the area, specially after harder pull-up workouts. I will be following your recommendations!
That was very helpful! Thanks
Great tips! I've been suffering for some time now. Going to order some straps right now!
I am almost 60 and can pull up as much as I want. It's only when I began heavily weighting them that I experienced elbow pain. Switching to an ergonomic grip made all the difference. Keep up the excellent and sound advice!
What's an 'ergonomic grip' for you? Hammer grip?
Have this pain atm, will sure try to go from the bar to just rings and see how that feels :)
Great video as always!
Very helpful! Thanks!!
Thanks for this post. I'm working on this issue, complicated by some elbow bone spurs, currently. I'm already warming, de-loading, resting, and using massage. However, I hadn't thought to include my rings in the mix. Greatly appreciated!
Thank you for this vid. Save my wrists and my time.❤️
Great video. The rings helped tremendously. Thank you
I have it also,left arm?in which way rings helped?so i can do rings pullups and it Will heal in time?i have it for 2 months now.
I've regressed to doing Aussie pull-ups when I had it. After two weeks with some rest in between it was healed.
Ive had it twice from greasing the groove (overtraining). I fixed it by immediately taking two weeks off and using a theraband flexbar for rehab and an elbow brace. To prevent it, now I thoroughly warm up and only do neutral grip pullups on rings
I think the brace prevents inflammation . It reduces the blood pressure to the effected area.
Thanks for the advice.
How did you use the theraband?
Also used the theraband Flexbar for about 3 weeks, while continuing to do Crossfit. After 3 weeks of using the flexbar for about 3x20 reps a day, the injury was totally gone.
@@Puzzicanello Tyler Twist (Lateral Epicondylitis - Pain Outside of The Elbow) Reverse Tyler Twist (Medial Epicondylitis - Pain inside of the elbow) Both are good to do alongside one another even if you only have 1 injury :)
@@ollieb7370 Hi, my forearms feel sore/overworked after doing too many pushups and gets worse when I type (I work in IT) so overuse I think is perhaps a mix of both. Can sometimes feel tender to the touch (the area between the elbow and a bit down the upper side of the forearms). Been trying to cut back on computer use and not training for two weeks but they still feel strained/overused often, but not bad pain yet, I'm trying to prevent that from happening. Do you or anyone else recommend something I should do? I think not doing anything for more than 2 weeks isnt really productive either. Only did a bit of stretching.
Thanks
This is pretty helpful.
You explained my symptoms word for word. Even the written comment that it eases once warmed up and it feels worse the next day. The strange case I have is that I first started a very very basic calisthenics workout routine nearly 1 year ago that only went for a few weeks. At that time I bought a new house, renovated it and had a new baby. So mu workout was put on hold completely. At some stage in that few weeks of basic training I started getting the elbow pain and annoyingly it has never gone away. Seems odd as it was far from being a continuous use injury but it is word for word exactly what you explained and no one has been able to explain it like that so far.
I have finally started my new calisthenics routine about 5 weeks ago and this is a much more serious workout routine following the push, pull, legs/core methods. Last week I started doing a lot of the mobility exercises you showed in your video with the resistance band and the light dumbbell and I hope this helps me. Further more I already have a set of gymnastic rings on the way in the mail, so it's good to hear that they helped you out. I really hope they do the same for me.
Great advice thank you! 👍
I've had this but I only felt pain when doing tricep extensions and back lever. I stopped doing them for a couple of weeks and it's still healing. It used to hurt in simple tasks like carrying the grocery bags. Bottom line is, don't stop working out completely. Eliminate the exercises which hurt and go from there
Great video, and yes we would like more. Thx
good video man.
@FitnessFAQs Thanks for another great video! Your videos are always very informative and motivating!
I wondered if you could answer the following:
1) With golfer’s elbow, is it generally advisable to make any changes to pushing exercises? ie. should we stop doing hand stands, ring push ups, dips etc?
2) Did you get any benefit from doing "rehab" exercises or eccentric type stuff?
3) I only use rings, but I think this problem started when I started trying to train my false grip. I will probably stop false grip for a while, but do you have any advice for progressing very gradually towards false grip?
Your knowledge and expertise is really appreciated. Thanks a lot!
