Nice! I'll be starting these soon because my tricep tendon has been degrading over the years and gave out on a chest workout the other day. Rest mode for a couple weeks then I begin!
A year? Shouldn't have taken you more than 2 to 3 months at the most. If it took a year you were doing something wrong and or your injury was way too severe for just physical therapy
@@tarufeti3921 Mostly I was doing skull crushers at home. I remember the first day, I thought an empty dumbbell (2.2kg) will be good for start. It was so painful I couldn't do it. :D So I started with a 1.25kg plate. Even with that I only managed to do the negative part. Now I can do it with 3-4kg with full rep. Still very weak but I had to realize it is a very slow process. I don't mind as I can finally go back to the gym and do certain exercises. I would suggest if you going to the gym - your triceps pain is your number one priority. If you feel pain do find a way to do it a different way even if it reduces the range of motion. What we have to do is to strengthen the muscle so throw your ego and use low weight and build up from there. I actually got an appointment to the Physiotherapy this Friday so hopefully I will be able to give more tips. :)
Just what I needed. I’ve been doing hand turned back planche training and it’s just a bit hard on my elbows. Barely started feeling tendinitis and this feels great
Nah bro, you ain’t gonna make me feel a ton of a lot better in mere seconds of trying these exercises. You disrespecting me! I love you man LOL. INSTA LIKED.
thanks for sharing this. It would be great if you made a pt video for forearm (tennis) tendonitis. I have both unfortunately but am excited to try what you have shared.cheers
Cheers man! Was wondering why my right arm was killing me when doing barbell triceps extensions, at first I thought it was a trapped nerve or something.
This has helped me improve within jus a couple weeks. Im quite lucky, I can handle having my hands further down and fully stretch the tricep out. If you can't just work your way down. Great exercise.
Hi, I’m 18 years old and I’ve been weight training my whole life. Training is the most important thing to me however six months ago i had a sudden shock of pain in my elbow. I can’t remember exactly how it happened but I believe i sort of suddenly overextended my elbow very violently. I couldn’t extend it for weeks without this pain. I then started to get pain on the lateral side of my elbow. That subsided and then I developed pain on the medial side of my elbow. However the pain comes from behind the medial bone. I believe the pain is coming from my medial tricep tendon. Whenever I move my arm about I have lots of grinding and grazing behind my medial bone. I have this on my right elbow but it’s much smoother. I’ve tried to occasionally do light bicep curls or light bench pressing but it just flares up that grinding sensation again. It’s really frustrating and I feel down that I have lost all strength and size since this injury. Any help would be appreciated
You need to see an orthopedic surgeon. Grinding and crepitation usually indicates a joint problem. Often with hyper extension, injuries as you describe, results in loose bodies in the joint and cartilage damage.
Good video, I'd just add that this is something that you have to work with, my tendon is starting to heal a little, I know this because it's less tender/weak/painful then it was a few days ago. ....so when you do these exercises, you're leaning your weight into it but go slowly!, and have your other arm assist and help and focus on like a modified one arm push-up. This isn't an issue for me but if while attempting to do this you felt too much pain, then you should probably stop altogether (even if you can take the pain, your poor tendon can't :-( ......) .......in that case I'd recommend doing rice for a week or a few more weeks and come back and try this again and hopefully then it's less painful... RICE is Rest (Probably the most important aspect here, benching you say? ....too bad, you can't do that any more, that's done until this heals!) Ice, Compression and Elevation. ..... Don't worry you'll get your big bench press back, I've been through this before, if you allow it to heal and do these eccentric exercises he's talking about here, along with a few others, you should be fine, then return to some LIGHT bench pressing, and slowly work your way back up ........and next time be more careful, heavy ass weights aren't the only way to help BUILD muscle/produce hypertrophy. Lastly I'd say if you're a power-lifter and you're reading this, try and do some specific triceps work and some triceps tendon work to aid with your bench press program. Yes, we all want to work our muscles, I get that, but don't leave your tendons out, they have to be healthy as well, the load initially comes through the tendon, so that tendon needs to be strong. Tendons attach muscle to bone and ligaments attach bone to bone, jfyi.
Ive had this for almost a whole year in on my tip of my elbow and had to quit bodybuilding. Ive done wall pushups for 2 weeks now its frustrating cause i just flared up a little bit again. Ill give this a try thanks for the video.
@@OverheadAthletics Well i actually just found out its not a tendon problem at all went to the hospital they said my bones were fine went to the orthopedics an was told i had a bonespur an they showed me where it was. i'm relieve to find out what the issue was the whole time i just can't believe it took 10 months to figure it out. i'm getting surgery in a few weeks i can actually see an feel the bone spur.
@zgraesthetic No not anymore i eventually needed bone spur excision surgery. i've been bench pressing and lifting weights for a month. Even though i'm fine now i still stay away from exercises like skull crushers or anything that might irritate it.
Great tips!! Surprisingly hard to find good videos on how to effectively load and recover with tendinitis in the triceps. I've had tricep tendonitis off and on for the past two years through my workouts and this cleared it right up. Thanks!
@@nonenone2669 These tips REALLY helped. I saw significant improvement over a relatively short period of time. But I got a little overzealous when returning to tricep workouts and actually reinjured the tendon 😅
Great video, can I ask what kind of frequency you would recommend for a routine like this, and how many sets/reps? Should I be doing these every morning, twice a week, or what? I certainly don't want to overdo it
I’ve answered this in a few other comments but the frequency and rep/set scheme is going to depend on what you can tolerate without an increase in symptoms. Generally I recommend 3 sets of 10 to 20 repetitions As a target goal before moving onto more advanced variations. You may be only able to tolerate one set of eight repetitions to begin but start there and progress from that point
My tricep hurt while doing push up then after doing some research i found out that its tricep tendonitis since it only hurts when i do pushing exercise i rest mine for 2 weeks after that i feel good and ready to do push up again i feel no pain so i trains my bicep and shoulder since i cant train my tricep and chest in the after 3days my triceps feel week i think im not fully recover. Hope this one help me ill be stoping working out my right arm for a month only eccentric exercises like this
Do you have any screening or symptoms to make sure that tricep tendonitis is what I have, I've seen some things about it but it's always confusing with the elbow. I just tried some of these and it feels pretty good
Amazing video!!! I just have one question: I'm doing the exercises but I noticed that when my elbow is close to the wall I feel like something is pulling my tendon. It's not painful after the routine or anything, but I want to make sure it's not something to be worried about. Also, important to mention that I can do incline pushups without any pain as long as I dont go to a position in where my tendon is super stretched similar to the range of when my elbow is against the wall in the exercise you showing.
So basically whenever I do tricep exercises, I don’t feel my tricep activating that much; i feel it in my elbow more. So should I try to do more eccentric work and avoided any chest presses or anything involving the tricep? And can eccentric wall push-ups help too? Any eccentric?
Hello, I’ve had this issue when I was weight training for a while where I would feel a “click” or a “pop” in my elbow when doing bicep curls or similar exercises. And it evolved into tricep tendonitis where I couldn’t extend my arm for a week. Since then it’s healed (3 months later). But for some reason, it still starts to hurt if I try to do curls again. Also, there is some sort of bag or loose skin or something that appeared under my elbow that i can press down when I extend my arm and its still there even 3 months later. It doesn’t hurt when I press down on it. I just wanted to know what this might be. Its only on the arm where I got injured. Thank you
I got this problem from bar dips and pushups, I think. Doing the same exercises, every other day, for years on end just isn't good in my case. What's interesting to me is that the cure is similar to the cause -- you're applying pressure the same way but a lot less pressure.
Hey bro! Love your vids... i actually havr a chronic tendinitis on my triceps since 6-7 months now... ive determined the reason : too big strech while doing triceps exercices... since so, ive followed about 30+ therapy sessions and it left/came/left/ came back always... seems like chronic tendinitis is much worst cuz i remember at begining it left and heal very quickly, but i was dumb and started aggresive gym.. now im praying to be able to make some gym again
Just seeing this video. Can't perform these yet since my tricep is super swollen and extremely painful. I'm not an athlete. I'm a mom who has many hats to wear. 5 years ago I sustained a SLAP tear to my left shoulder. Then had bicep tendinitis a year later. My shoulder has never fully healed. To the point I haven't laid on my left side in 5 years. And the seat belt is painful to have over my shoulder. So, I just learned my long term shoulder issues are causing my tricep tendinitis. Using a massage tool helped alleviate 80% of the pain. However these exercises are too painful to do right now. So I'm hoping this will help soon because I can't slow down.
Hi, do you think training while having this issue is possible? Months ago I felt pain while doing push ups, in the negative part of the exercise. I'd like to return training, perhabs if I avoid tricep exercises and using dumbbells. Great video and thank you!
I’m having some pain on the backside of the elbow when I throw/pitch. It usually only flares up when I throw then goes away. I’m a high school pitcher and feel like I stretch good and have good mechanics, could this just be tricep tendinitis, even at a young age?
How do I tell the difference between tricep tendonitis and rotator cuff injuries? I don't know what relates to the shoulder and what relates to the tricep.
I don't feel any pain while doing this movement, but when I touch my elbow after finishing the set, there is tremendous pain. Normally there is no pain, but it hurts when I touch it. What should I do?
I've read through several comments to find an answer to my ? but don't see it out there. How many times can do these exercises? This is what always confuses me about PT. Is this something I do a couple times a day? Once every day, once every other day? I did the isometric exercise this morning as my left tricep has been extremely painful, especially when sitting in a chair. I certainly felt it after about the 10th time. Just need to know how often I should do this? Thanks for this video, I subbed to the channel and am looking forward to looking through it. Thanks!!
I have triceps tendinosis since last four month ,, do you think these exercises can heal me up back to normal ?? Thanks , how long will it take , can tendon degeneration returns back to normal ?
Is it safe to do this when I feel light burn in my tendon while doing the exercise? It's not too painful but I can definitely feel it. Is that a good thing or should I step back further?
The goal will be to feel the light burn in the muscle itself. You may want to step closer to the wall and perform with a lower load on the tendon. The closer you are to the wall the less resistance.
Ive had tricep tendonosis for about 11 years. Had an MRI, but found nothing. They wouldnt give me PRP therapy because the tendon has enough relative strength. He said chances of it causing a tear werent worth it. Are there other treatments out there? Ive heard of stem cell treatment, but its Expensive, and i dont think its available in the uk.? OHP is king. Front/lateral raises do next to nothing. If anyone could help that would be brilliant. Thanks in advance👍.
I hit my elbow really hard when I was doing some work. The pain occurs right above my elbow only when I do overhead presses and overhand tricep workouts. It seems very similar to tricep tendonitis. Will these stretches help?
This is a pretty rare occurrence that I never really see in my throwing athletes. The key, like over tendon ruptures is allowing time for healing and slowly and progressively loading.
Hey, my elbow snaps, pops, don't know what to call it. It doesn't hurt, but I went to physiotherapy, but nothing stoppet it. Not even 3 Month of no training with only small rehab exercises, like the ones you show and with bands. My physiotherapist said I could start training again to maybe make the tendon stronger. It doesn't hurt but I don't know what it is. It's on the inside of my elbow
It’s always important to investigate the possibility of whether the snapping is occurring due to ulnar nerve subluxation or a portion of the triceps tendon. If the snapping continues and gets irritated this is what I would get looked at.
Is it unusual to have tricep tendinitis at 16 years old? I’ve had pain/discomfort) in my upper elbow when doing exercises that works the tricep (tricep extensions, bench press, shoulder press etc)
@@OverheadAthletics Would you say 3 sets of 15 reps performed twice daily for the eccentric portion of rehabilitation (proposed by Alfredson et al. [1998]) is too much in your professional opinion? Is that something you would want to work up to?
Amazing video! One question , the people with tricep tendonitis feels like the tricep cramp everytime they use the muscle? Like if the muscle (tricep) cant handle the weight? The people with tricep tendonitis have pain when contract the triceps and the pain is in the tricep or in the elbow too?
The triceps muscle attaches to the elbow so often individuals have pain at the insertion of the muscle into the ulna bone where the tendon is or just above the elbow. It is less common to have triceps discomfort in the muscle belly and typically that is a muscular strain.
@@OverheadAthletics thank you very much :) it could be a tricep strain or a muscle cramp? Wath should i do? Because i got an ultrasound that showed fine
@@SuperPulseadasArmwrestling hello. I usually have cramps at the lower area of my tricep? Did you have the same issue? I had cramps when i was lifting my hands to a certain position, even had cramps when i was attempting to throw objects(bowling). I guess maybe you had the same issue. If yes please advise what have you done. 😊
@@ydine1065 hey Ydine, how are you? I forgot i injured my tricep! im 100% and i feel very happy! im better because i started lifting from bed by pivoting my body + using my elbow, instead of using my arm woch uses the triceps, and you can let your arm recover while hitting the gym, you can avoid Tricep exercises or youcan do Partials or negatives, the idea here, is to be proactive, you can do whatever activities you want to do, but doing slight changes, the only thing you can change, is when you wake up from bed, and tricep exercises in the gym, then you can keep doing what you like! you will see your triceps at 100% if you follow my advice 😊
Thank you for the video! I do body weight workouts including some static straight arm exs (tuck levers and planche) which put a decent amount of stress on my triceps once every 3 days. The outer side of my right tricep tendon, right by the elbow, started hurting maybe a week or two ago (about 4-5 workouts). Right now, post workout, loading the tendon with a flexion past 90 degrees causes sharp pain. Is it absolutely mandatory that I completely stop training? You're saying an 8 week rest period. I'm worried about the set back. Could adding something on off days to address the tendon allow me to keep working out regularly?
Good question. I’d completely rest the triceps, no stretching/exercise for the triceps for a couple weeks. After that ease back in and see how it feels. You really won’t see any strength set backs until you’ve been off for a considerable amount of time. Your set back will be far worse if you continue to push through pain. As for doing things absolutely, BFR, self massage, heat, ultrasound, etc. check out some of my other injury/recovery videos.
Hey bro I appreciate this video a lot. I think my issue is that I was loading my tendons too fast and wasn't really helping them. The isometrics have the right amount of tension so I think I'll stick with them for now. How do you know when you are ready to move onto a harder progression? (Also do you have anything for distall biceps tendonitis? This is the tendon for the biceps at the elbow!)
Pain/tenderness (see my comment above) ....may be an indication that you're ready to move up, but I'd strongly suggest that you move up slow, as in very slowly and don't return to your normal activity until you feel that your arm is at least 95% back to it's strength. The less pain you feel, that means it's probably healing up, ....if you do this and it gets worse........then it's time to back off and go back to RICE for a few more weeks. Treat it like you would a baby, very ...........tenderly/gently.......and with alot of TLC!
The other thing you said sounds like Golfer's elbow? I could be wrong, let me know, I'm curious. ( distall biceps tendonitis ) and if u don't mind me asking, how did you get that?
@@Rick-si1re I actually have golfers elbow as well haha. I think I'm at a much higher risk of getting injured as I'm hypermobile and have a much larger(or smaller idk which) carrying angle for a male. Distall biceps tendon is the one in the pit of your elbow. Supinate your arm and flex your bicep you should be able to feel it then. Pretty sure I got it by doing too many pull-ups. Like I had the strength do them but my tendons probably couldn't handle it yet Been dealing with this bs for over almost two years now. Sucks but that's life I guess. Also I realised that this got a bit long so sorry haha
@@awesomeguy3211 Yeah when I was doing research for tricep tendinitis, I think I came across something like that with the triceps, ....tendons way up near your shoulder, of course those are harder to injure, the tendon most of us have issues with is the triceps tendon, the one that inserts into your olecranon, basically the tip of your elbow. I heard about "golfer's elbow" while doing research on "Tennis Elbow", which I may have already had but playing Guitar Hero didn't really help with things and man I used to play hard (trying to do those songs on expert u know lol). I didn't even know anything about Tennis Elbow and I may have had Golfer's elbow, I had a few bicep injuries during my weightlifting days. I don't know, I just worked through the pain....foolish I know, but I was young and foolish in the early 2000s. I think if it's tendinitis you're dealing with, all of them are probably cured the same way, REST and maybe some eccentric exercises before you start training heavy again. Long? no need to apologize for that lol look at my comment below this one and this comment, that's kind of long, people don't respond to alot of my stuffs cuz I guess they too lazy too read, I don't mind long comments, I read fast and write em all the time.
It can help. If you’ve had it that long. I invite you to look into tendonosis because that is probably what you have. Tendonitis lasts for weeks, tendonosis lasts for months and years.
Hello. I have been diagnosed with shoulder tendonitis, Cervicle spondylosis and Hyper mobility syndrome. I'm having headaches, stiff neck, spasming and neck/shoulder pain. also when my neck area feels inflamed, it makes my throat feel like it's closing. I'm 2 wks into physical therapy, but what exercises I can do from home on the days I'm not at physical therapy and having discomfort. Thank you
Great question. Based on the complexity of your case I suggest discussing with your PT. I always advise activity modification first and suggest postural training. Make sure your sleeping posture and nutrition are on point as well. Multiple opinions would not be a bad idea either.
Overhead Athletics btw just for clarification. It’s exactly right above my elbow. Like exactly where the tricep tendon is. And it’s like a tender lump that goes away when I flex sort of like a over worked muscle
Based on your last comment there are a few things that maybe going on. If it is getting worse. I suggest going to see an orthopedic surgeon or sports medicine doctor.
Hey man I’ve just came back from a deload and the day after my first workout back my Right Tricep either has serious DOM’s or something more serious unfortunately, if my arm is in a bent position longer than 5 minutes it’s painful to bend, the only new exercise I’ve added in that may have caused this is dumbell Tricep extensions lying down, maybe I’ve extended too far and pulled something that’s only appeared the day after? Woke up with the pain
I do boxing almost everyday and my left elbow feels weird not rlly painful but its a little bit uncomfortable, its been ard for awhile now and i kinda juz leave it alone but now im trying to let heal b4 it gets serious
it seems i have tendonosis. it's been two years now and it's gotten better to a point that i can do overhead presses and bench press, but i can't lift heavy. any tips? I highly appreciate you!
Right when I'm doing the eccentric load toward the end I feel and hear a popping above the elbow on the left side. This same popping I hear if I try to do any pushing whether is bench press, triceps, push ups, in this case for example I feel the pop/pain when pushing towards the wall. Wondering if it's the tendon or the medial muscle. It leaves some pain after, I can tolerate during this eccentric exercise but still hear. Any recommendations? been about 4 months for me.
How many times a week and how many reps and sets? Btw I've been starting doing your excersizes and its feeling better! If it gets cured because of your exercises I would like to send a private donation to you.
@@maciek8172 how painful was the shot? And are you still clear of symptoms? Going on 2 months now of resting and my elbow feels good for the most part, but any loading of lifting definitely irritates it.
hi i had a wrist fracture(left arm) so my arm was in a cast for about 3-4 months after that my left tricep was never the same, while exercising the right tricep would always get pumped up first, I'd never feel the burn in the left tricep even when i did isolation exercises on it, over the months now my left tricep has grown bigger than the right but i still cannot feel it as much as the right tricep, i still cannot feel the long head while extending. I don't know what to do as i even rested for about 6 months with no exercise and i feel devastated as bodybuilding is my passion
I’m not sure of any specifically for tendonosis. If your intake is already fairly optimized you may consider adding collagen, glucosamine sulphate, or chondriotin sulphate supplements.
I have had this for 3 weeks now and only now if started thinking about stopping with tricep training. Nothing hurts and I still have the strength but i just feel like Something is pOping in my lower tricep(above elbow) and have NO clue what to do.
Hi my triceps tendon doesn't hurt during push ups and i started to feel a very small pain in my tendon about 1 month ago and its a bit worse now and hurts when i extend my arm a bit and i really dont want to stop training because i really dont want to be set back and lose my gains but how long do you recommend i rest before i could start training Any help would really be appreciated
@@OverheadAthletics thanks for the advice i will start these exercises in a few days when i finsh my first week of resting and i already feel much better after less than a week of rest and i havent lost any gains and i actually feel slightly stronger, really excited to get back at it soon
@@OverheadAthletics I tried the ecentric load exercise but my tendon feels slightly weak the day after but it dosent hurt is it ment to feel like this because its getting used to the load, if not then do you know what this is
You should stop before it gets worse. First of all stop training any push exercice that causes even slight pain for the triceps , and try to rest more days between push days, throw in every now and then a week-off training push , and sometimes a week-off training upper body and try to limit elbow activity with leg Stay like this for like 8weeks until you feel like you will be ok getting back to your routine but dont !! Then triceps fully rested , start doing what this video says for like 8 weeks Then you should be ok getting back to normal but always be careful with triceps extension no heavy work no over volume . I’am talking with my experience plus I am a medstudent. Best of luck
I injured my arm throwing a football all day recently. My tricep is constantly sore and my elbow snaps/clicks every time I extend it. Can someone tell me what this is?
Mine only hurts after i throw hard and then it hurts for about 5 days and then it feels fine to throw 70% but 100% hurts what but if i wait long enough i can go 100% but if i go to much it hurts again really bad
is there any reason shoulder lateral raises would cause tricep pain? I just find it odd that tricep exercises themselves don’t cause such pain. I am afraid I’ll have to give up those lateral raises if this continues 🤦♂️

Clear explanation and convenient and effective exercises. Overhead Athletics is the goat
Hi, I’m 18 years old and I’ve been weight training my whole life. Training is the most important thing to me however six months ago i had a sudden shock of pain in my elbow. I can’t remember exactly how it happened but I believe i sort of suddenly overextended my elbow very violently. I couldn’t extend it for weeks without this pain. I then started to get pain on the lateral side of my elbow. That subsided and then I developed pain on the medial side of my elbow. However the pain comes from behind the medial bone. I believe the pain is coming from my medial tricep tendon. Whenever I move my arm about I have lots of grinding and grazing behind my medial bone. I have this on my right elbow but it’s much smoother. I’ve tried to occasionally do light bicep curls or light bench pressing but it just flares up that grinding sensation again. It’s really frustrating and I feel down that I have lost all strength and size since this injury. Any help would be appreciated
You need to see an orthopedic surgeon. Grinding and crepitation usually indicates a joint problem. Often with hyper extension, injuries as you describe, results in loose bodies in the joint and cartilage damage.
Overhead Athletics thanks man👍
Corza Corza did u have to get surgery? I have the exact same problem due to an abrupt over extension
Good video, I'd just add that this is something that you have to work with, my tendon is starting to heal a little, I know this because it's less tender/weak/painful then it was a few days ago. ....so when you do these exercises, you're leaning your weight into it but go slowly!, and have your other arm assist and help and focus on like a modified one arm push-up. This isn't an issue for me but if while attempting to do this you felt too much pain, then you should probably stop altogether (even if you can take the pain, your poor tendon can't :-( ......) .......in that case I'd recommend doing rice for a week or a few more weeks and come back and try this again and hopefully then it's less painful... RICE is Rest (Probably the most important aspect here, benching you say? ....too bad, you can't do that any more, that's done until this heals!) Ice, Compression and Elevation. .....
Don't worry you'll get your big bench press back, I've been through this before, if you allow it to heal and do these eccentric exercises he's talking about here, along with a few others, you should be fine, then return to some LIGHT bench pressing, and slowly work your way back up ........and next time be more careful, heavy ass weights aren't the only way to help BUILD muscle/produce hypertrophy. Lastly I'd say if you're a power-lifter and you're reading this, try and do some specific triceps work and some triceps tendon work to aid with your bench press program. Yes, we all want to work our muscles, I get that, but don't leave your tendons out, they have to be healthy as well, the load initially comes through the tendon, so that tendon needs to be strong. Tendons attach muscle to bone and ligaments attach bone to bone, jfyi.
How many times have you had this problem?
Ive had this for almost a whole year in on my tip of my elbow and had to quit bodybuilding. Ive done wall pushups for 2 weeks now its frustrating cause i just flared up a little bit again. Ill give this a try thanks for the video.
Sounds good! Let me know how it goes! Start with low load isometrics.
@@OverheadAthletics Well i actually just found out its not a tendon problem at all went to the hospital they said my bones were fine went to the orthopedics an was told i had a bonespur an they showed me where it was. i'm relieve to find out what the issue was the whole time i just can't believe it took 10 months to figure it out. i'm getting surgery in a few weeks i can actually see an feel the bone spur.
Gabe hello there , so how are u after surgery can u go back to bodybulding ? Or what happen , cuz i believe i have the same problem
@@xplatte I actually ended up getting a cortisone shot in the tendon and my pains been gone for months.
@zgraesthetic No not anymore i eventually needed bone spur excision surgery. i've been bench pressing and lifting weights for a month. Even though i'm fine now i still stay away from exercises like skull crushers or anything that might irritate it.
I've looked a lot and this is probably the best tricep tendonitis video I've seen, thank you!!
Great tips!! Surprisingly hard to find good videos on how to effectively load and recover with tendinitis in the triceps. I've had tricep tendonitis off and on for the past two years through my workouts and this cleared it right up. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!!
How is it now?
@@nonenone2669 These tips REALLY helped. I saw significant improvement over a relatively short period of time. But I got a little overzealous when returning to tricep workouts and actually reinjured the tendon 😅
@@matthewmiller3745 I think they take a while to get more injury proof like they were before. Mines been bad for a year ☹️
Just felt a little snap in my tricep followed by numbness in my whole arm during skullcrushers and now I'm here
Heal up!
How is your elbow now bro?
@@bashorii Better, still feel numbness every now and then but so long as I stay away from the EZ bar I'm ok
Great video, can I ask what kind of frequency you would recommend for a routine like this, and how many sets/reps? Should I be doing these every morning, twice a week, or what? I certainly don't want to overdo it
I’ve answered this in a few other comments but the frequency and rep/set scheme is going to depend on what you can tolerate without an increase in symptoms. Generally I recommend 3 sets of 10 to 20 repetitions As a target goal before moving onto more advanced variations. You may be only able to tolerate one set of eight repetitions to begin but start there and progress from that point
@@OverheadAthletics thanks for the response!!
Are There also ways to prevent triceps pain in the Future like with isometric triceps exercises? Is that possible?
My tricep hurt while doing push up then after doing some research i found out that its tricep tendonitis since it only hurts when i do pushing exercise i rest mine for 2 weeks after that i feel good and ready to do push up again i feel no pain so i trains my bicep and shoulder since i cant train my tricep and chest in the after 3days my triceps feel week i think im not fully recover. Hope this one help me ill be stoping working out my right arm for a month only eccentric exercises like this
Good luck! Don’t over do it.
Do you have any screening or symptoms to make sure that tricep tendonitis is what I have, I've seen some things about it but it's always confusing with the elbow. I just tried some of these and it feels pretty good
These will not hurt! But I will plan to make a video that shows the very simple screening techniques that you can use at home.
Amazing video!!! I just have one question: I'm doing the exercises but I noticed that when my elbow is close to the wall I feel like something is pulling my tendon. It's not painful after the routine or anything, but I want to make sure it's not something to be worried about. Also, important to mention that I can do incline pushups without any pain as long as I dont go to a position in where my tendon is super stretched similar to the range of when my elbow is against the wall in the exercise you showing.
So basically whenever I do tricep exercises, I don’t feel my tricep activating that much; i feel it in my elbow more. So should I try to do more eccentric work and avoided any chest presses or anything involving the tricep? And can eccentric wall push-ups help too? Any eccentric?
This is my exact condition. Would love to get a response on this.
Hello, I’ve had this issue when I was weight training for a while where I would feel a “click” or a “pop” in my elbow when doing bicep curls or similar exercises. And it evolved into tricep tendonitis where I couldn’t extend my arm for a week. Since then it’s healed (3 months later). But for some reason, it still starts to hurt if I try to do curls again. Also, there is some sort of bag or loose skin or something that appeared under my elbow that i can press down when I extend my arm and its still there even 3 months later. It doesn’t hurt when I press down on it. I just wanted to know what this might be. Its only on the arm where I got injured. Thank you
You may want to get looked at by an elbow surgeon. Popping could be the ulnar nerve or a part of the triceps tendon, or the joint itself.
i have that same thing that protrudes out of the skin behind the elbow when my arm is fully extended, any update on your injury and what fixed it?
Olecranon bursitis. Fluid in the bursa was my issue. Add in my chronic triceps tendonitis, and there's work to be done.
Really amazing, thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you for this
Absolutely!!
I got this problem from bar dips and pushups, I think. Doing the same exercises, every other day, for years on end just isn't good in my case. What's interesting to me is that the cure is similar to the cause -- you're applying pressure the same way but a lot less pressure.
thanks a lot mann
i saw sm other videos which did no good until this!!
Awesome
Hey bro! Love your vids... i actually havr a chronic tendinitis on my triceps since 6-7 months now... ive determined the reason : too big strech while doing triceps exercices... since so, ive followed about 30+ therapy sessions and it left/came/left/ came back always... seems like chronic tendinitis is much worst cuz i remember at begining it left and heal very quickly, but i was dumb and started aggresive gym.. now im praying to be able to make some gym again
You likely have tendonosis which is degeneration of the tendon. When you train make sure you’re staying in pain free ranges!
@@OverheadAthletics is it permanent? Once i have it it won't go forever?
How's your tricep now? Hope it's healed up
Just seeing this video. Can't perform these yet since my tricep is super swollen and extremely painful. I'm not an athlete. I'm a mom who has many hats to wear. 5 years ago I sustained a SLAP tear to my left shoulder. Then had bicep tendinitis a year later. My shoulder has never fully healed. To the point I haven't laid on my left side in 5 years. And the seat belt is painful to have over my shoulder. So, I just learned my long term shoulder issues are causing my tricep tendinitis. Using a massage tool helped alleviate 80% of the pain. However these exercises are too painful to do right now. So I'm hoping this will help soon because I can't slow down.
Don’t rush the healing process!
Hi, do you think training while having this issue is possible?
Months ago I felt pain while doing push ups, in the negative part of the exercise. I'd like to return training, perhabs if I avoid tricep exercises and using dumbbells.
Great video and thank you!
I’d start with this lightly and just see how it goes.
awesome video! what would be a good number of sets and reps to do everyday for these exercises?
Do them to tolerance and slowly build sets and reps.
Thanks - how many sets and reps u recommend ?
Perform to relative fatigue in pain free ranges! Somewhere around 3 sets if it’s tolerated!
I’m having some pain on the backside of the elbow when I throw/pitch. It usually only flares up when I throw then goes away. I’m a high school pitcher and feel like I stretch good and have good mechanics, could this just be tricep tendinitis, even at a young age?
My left ear loved this
How do I tell the difference between tricep tendonitis and rotator cuff injuries? I don't know what relates to the shoulder and what relates to the tricep.
I will add this to our video list! But usually location and differentiating what provokes the pain.
I don't feel any pain while doing this movement, but when I touch my elbow after finishing the set, there is tremendous pain. Normally there is no pain, but it hurts when I touch it. What should I do?
I've read through several comments to find an answer to my ? but don't see it out there. How many times can do these exercises? This is what always confuses me about PT. Is this something I do a couple times a day? Once every day, once every other day? I did the isometric exercise this morning as my left tricep has been extremely painful, especially when sitting in a chair. I certainly felt it after about the 10th time. Just need to know how often I should do this? Thanks for this video, I subbed to the channel and am looking forward to looking through it. Thanks!!
Start with 2x a week at an intensity you can handle. In PT the goal is tolerable load which is different for everyone.
I have triceps tendinosis since last four month ,, do you think these exercises can heal me up back to normal ?? Thanks , how long will it take , can tendon degeneration returns back to normal ?
Is it safe to do this when I feel light burn in my tendon while doing the exercise? It's not too painful but I can definitely feel it. Is that a good thing or should I step back further?
The goal will be to feel the light burn in the muscle itself. You may want to step closer to the wall and perform with a lower load on the tendon. The closer you are to the wall the less resistance.
life saver....
Ive had tricep tendonosis for about 11 years. Had an MRI, but found nothing. They wouldnt give me PRP therapy because the tendon has enough relative strength. He said chances of it causing a tear werent worth it.
Are there other treatments out there?
Ive heard of stem cell treatment, but its Expensive, and i dont think its available in the uk.?
OHP is king. Front/lateral raises do next to nothing.
If anyone could help that would be brilliant. Thanks in advance👍.
Have you done PT with a good orthopedic therapist?
I noticed it three push trainings from now. Hope it's going to recover fast
I hit my elbow really hard when I was doing some work. The pain occurs right above my elbow only when I do overhead presses and overhand tricep workouts. It seems very similar to tricep tendonitis. Will these stretches help?
Could you make a video on rupture of tricep tendors
This is a pretty rare occurrence that I never really see in my throwing athletes. The key, like over tendon ruptures is allowing time for healing and slowly and progressively loading.
How do I know if my elbows are ready to loading? How long should I stay in the "Rest" phase?
Hey, my elbow snaps, pops, don't know what to call it. It doesn't hurt, but I went to physiotherapy, but nothing stoppet it. Not even 3 Month of no training with only small rehab exercises, like the ones you show and with bands. My physiotherapist said I could start training again to maybe make the tendon stronger. It doesn't hurt but I don't know what it is. It's on the inside of my elbow
It’s always important to investigate the possibility of whether the snapping is occurring due to ulnar nerve subluxation or a portion of the triceps tendon. If the snapping continues and gets irritated this is what I would get looked at.
Is it unusual to have tricep tendinitis at 16 years old? I’ve had pain/discomfort) in my upper elbow when doing exercises that works the tricep (tricep extensions, bench press, shoulder press etc)
I’ve had it for over a year, and I’m 16 years old
It’s not normal have you ever taken a rest period?
Both of my arms shake uncontrollable during the isometric part, do you know why that is?
How many times a week you should do these exercises?
Start with a couple and see how you tolerate it. Then move up to 3 or 4x per week
@@OverheadAthletics Would you say 3 sets of 15 reps performed twice daily for the eccentric portion of rehabilitation (proposed by Alfredson et al. [1998]) is too much in your professional opinion? Is that something you would want to work up to?
Amazing video! One question , the people with tricep tendonitis feels like the tricep cramp everytime they use the muscle? Like if the muscle (tricep) cant handle the weight? The people with tricep tendonitis have pain when contract the triceps and the pain is in the tricep or in the elbow too?
The triceps muscle attaches to the elbow so often individuals have pain at the insertion of the muscle into the ulna bone where the tendon is or just above the elbow. It is less common to have triceps discomfort in the muscle belly and typically that is a muscular strain.
@@OverheadAthletics thank you very much :) it could be a tricep strain or a muscle cramp? Wath should i do? Because i got an ultrasound that showed fine
@@SuperPulseadasArmwrestling hello. I usually have cramps at the lower area of my tricep? Did you have the same issue? I had cramps when i was lifting my hands to a certain position, even had cramps when i was attempting to throw objects(bowling). I guess maybe you had the same issue. If yes please advise what have you done. 😊
@@ydine1065 hey Ydine, how are you? I forgot i injured my tricep! im 100% and i feel very happy! im better because i started lifting from bed by pivoting my body + using my elbow, instead of using my arm woch uses the triceps, and you can let your arm recover while hitting the gym, you can avoid Tricep exercises or youcan do Partials or negatives, the idea here, is to be proactive, you can do whatever activities you want to do, but doing slight changes, the only thing you can change, is when you wake up from bed, and tricep exercises in the gym, then you can keep doing what you like! you will see your triceps at 100% if you follow my advice 😊
I will start doing these. I don't understand how much intensity to use. Should I be causing the tendon to hurt while doing the exercises?
No you need to do it lighter than that as explained in the video
Would this exercise be advisable for proximal triceps tendonitis as well?
Yes, although that is extremely rare. Usually it means something else is going on in the shoulder
Hello i usually have cramps at my lower tricep when i lift my hand to a certain position. Do you think that this might help?
Yes! Try them out.
Thank you for the video! I do body weight workouts including some static straight arm exs (tuck levers and planche) which put a decent amount of stress on my triceps once every 3 days. The outer side of my right tricep tendon, right by the elbow, started hurting maybe a week or two ago (about 4-5 workouts). Right now, post workout, loading the tendon with a flexion past 90 degrees causes sharp pain. Is it absolutely mandatory that I completely stop training? You're saying an 8 week rest period. I'm worried about the set back. Could adding something on off days to address the tendon allow me to keep working out regularly?
Good question. I’d completely rest the triceps, no stretching/exercise for the triceps for a couple weeks. After that ease back in and see how it feels. You really won’t see any strength set backs until you’ve been off for a considerable amount of time. Your set back will be far worse if you continue to push through pain. As for doing things absolutely, BFR, self massage, heat, ultrasound, etc. check out some of my other injury/recovery videos.
How long did it take you to heal
@@dybrbr I actually haven't yet... I started putting traumeel on it overnight. We'll see how it goes
@@tomersadot have you lost lots of muscle and strength or a just a bit
@@dybrbrhaven't tried dips or pull ups, but I bet. I've lost about 6 lbs
How does this work. Tricep pulls makes it worse but this worked so fast
Hey bro I appreciate this video a lot. I think my issue is that I was loading my tendons too fast and wasn't really helping them. The isometrics have the right amount of tension so I think I'll stick with them for now.
How do you know when you are ready to move onto a harder progression?
(Also do you have anything for distall biceps tendonitis? This is the tendon for the biceps at the elbow!)
Pain/tenderness (see my comment above) ....may be an indication that you're ready to move up, but I'd strongly suggest that you move up slow, as in very slowly and don't return to your normal activity until you feel that your arm is at least 95% back to it's strength. The less pain you feel, that means it's probably healing up, ....if you do this and it gets worse........then it's time to back off and go back to RICE for a few more weeks. Treat it like you would a baby, very ...........tenderly/gently.......and with alot of TLC!
The other thing you said sounds like Golfer's elbow? I could be wrong, let me know, I'm curious. ( distall biceps tendonitis ) and if u don't mind me asking, how did you get that?
@@Rick-si1re I actually have golfers elbow as well haha. I think I'm at a much higher risk of getting injured as I'm hypermobile and have a much larger(or smaller idk which) carrying angle for a male.
Distall biceps tendon is the one in the pit of your elbow. Supinate your arm and flex your bicep you should be able to feel it then. Pretty sure I got it by doing too many pull-ups. Like I had the strength do them but my tendons probably couldn't handle it yet
Been dealing with this bs for over almost two years now. Sucks but that's life I guess.
Also I realised that this got a bit long so sorry haha
@@awesomeguy3211 Yeah when I was doing research for tricep tendinitis, I think I came across something like that with the triceps, ....tendons way up near your shoulder, of course those are harder to injure, the tendon most of us have issues with is the triceps tendon, the one that inserts into your olecranon, basically the tip of your elbow.
I heard about "golfer's elbow" while doing research on "Tennis Elbow", which I may have already had but playing Guitar Hero didn't really help with things and man I used to play hard (trying to do those songs on expert u know lol). I didn't even know anything about Tennis Elbow and I may have had Golfer's elbow, I had a few bicep injuries during my weightlifting days. I don't know, I just worked through the pain....foolish I know, but I was young and foolish in the early 2000s.
I think if it's tendinitis you're dealing with, all of them are probably cured the same way, REST and maybe some eccentric exercises before you start training heavy again.
Long? no need to apologize for that lol look at my comment below this one and this comment, that's kind of long, people don't respond to alot of my stuffs cuz I guess they too lazy too read, I don't mind long comments, I read fast and write em all the time.
I’ve had it for 1,5 years, will this rehab help me get back to normal?
It can help. If you’ve had it that long. I invite you to look into tendonosis because that is probably what you have. Tendonitis lasts for weeks, tendonosis lasts for months and years.
I will do these three excercise and then check improvement
Awesome!
How do you feel now ???

I'm having headaches, stiff neck, spasming and neck/shoulder pain. also when my neck area feels inflamed, it makes my throat feel like it's closing. I'm 2 wks into physical therapy, but what exercises I can do from home on the days I'm not at physical therapy and having discomfort. Thank you
Great question. Based on the complexity of your case I suggest discussing with your PT. I always advise activity modification first and suggest postural training. Make sure your sleeping posture and nutrition are on point as well. Multiple opinions would not be a bad idea either.
Any one else have a little muscle by ur tricep tendon that becomes a lump when ur arm is straight. But goes away when you flex. I need an answer
It’s called anconeus and it is an elbow extensor that works with the elbow.
Overhead Athletics is it permanent??
Overhead Athletics btw just for clarification. It’s exactly right above my elbow. Like exactly where the tricep tendon is. And it’s like a tender lump that goes away when I flex sort of like a over worked muscle
Geevyy it’s scar tissue build up, the lump
Based on your last comment there are a few things that maybe going on. If it is getting worse. I suggest going to see an orthopedic surgeon or sports medicine doctor.
Can i progress this exercise to the ground? Like a tiger bend push up ?Or the focus on the tendon might be lost?
I’d first progress to hand on a bench or countertop while your feet are on the floor!
How often should you do these exercises
2-4 days per week
Hey man I’ve just came back from a deload and the day after my first workout back my Right Tricep either has serious DOM’s or something more serious unfortunately, if my arm is in a bent position longer than 5 minutes it’s painful to bend, the only new exercise I’ve added in that may have caused this is dumbell Tricep extensions lying down, maybe I’ve extended too far and pulled something that’s only appeared the day after? Woke up with the pain
You may have done a bit much. Give it a complete rest for a week and see how it’s doing!
I do boxing almost everyday and my left elbow feels weird not rlly painful but its a little bit uncomfortable, its been ard for awhile now and i kinda juz leave it alone but now im trying to let heal b4 it gets serious
Go to a PT now before it turns into tendonopathy and it will take longer to heal and get stronger
Can't seem to find that video case study you were talking about. What's it called? Link?
th-cam.com/video/ddb43_K1L0c/w-d-xo.html
can you train your biceps, shoulders or back?
i was wondering that as well XD
Sir can we do the same thing while working out?
How many times a week should I do this?
That depends on how well you tolerated doing it once
it seems i have tendonosis. it's been two years now and it's gotten better to a point that i can do overhead presses and bench press, but i can't lift heavy. any tips? I highly appreciate you!
Have you been through formal PT?
@@OverheadAthletics I can't afford one yet...
This doesn t require warming up before right?
Right when I'm doing the eccentric load toward the end I feel and hear a popping above the elbow on the left side. This same popping I hear if I try to do any pushing whether is bench press, triceps, push ups, in this case for example I feel the pop/pain when pushing towards the wall. Wondering if it's the tendon or the medial muscle. It leaves some pain after, I can tolerate during this eccentric exercise but still hear. Any recommendations? been about 4 months for me.
Stay out of that range! Stop short of that and begin working from there. Consider seeing a fellowship trained elbow surgeon also
How long should I be expecting to rest it for?
That ultimately depends on the extent of tissue damage!
@@OverheadAthletics say for example it started to hurt and I benched twice since then before connecting the dots, general estimate 🤔
How many times a week and how many reps and sets? Btw I've been starting doing your excersizes and its feeling better! If it gets cured because of your exercises I would like to send a private donation to you.
I would start with once per week and move to twice a week if you tolerate it well. Up to three times a week. If you get sore take a break!

@@maciek8172 how painful was the shot? And are you still clear of symptoms? Going on 2 months now of resting and my elbow feels good for the most part, but any loading of lifting definitely irritates it.
hi i had a wrist fracture(left arm) so my arm was in a cast for about 3-4 months after that my left tricep was never the same, while exercising the right tricep would always get pumped up first, I'd never feel the burn in the left tricep even when i did isolation exercises on it, over the months now my left tricep has grown bigger than the right but i still cannot feel it as much as the right tricep, i still cannot feel the long head while extending. I don't know what to do as i even rested for about 6 months with no exercise and i feel devastated as bodybuilding is my passion
Any update man
4 seconds stretching the tendon (with a excerxise like tricep extensions) then 3 going the way it’s making the tendon shorter. GO TO A PT
What? Btw I am a PT
Can you please recommend eccentric exercises for bicep tendonitis? Thank you.
Do you want me to make a video on biceps tendonitis?
Yes, please
Sure! I’ll add it to the list!
Are there any joint supplements you would recommend to help with tendonosis ?
I’m not sure of any specifically for tendonosis. If your intake is already fairly optimized you may consider adding collagen, glucosamine sulphate, or chondriotin sulphate supplements.
How do I combine this with my normal (tricep) training ? Do I do this before tricep training or on a different day ?
Why would you work on your tricep strenght when ur tricep tendon needs to get stronger🤦♂️

Hi my triceps tendon doesn't hurt during push ups and i started to feel a very small pain in my tendon about 1 month ago and its a bit worse now and hurts when i extend my arm a bit and i really dont want to stop training because i really dont want to be set back and lose my gains but how long do you recommend i rest before i could start training
Any help would really be appreciated
Until it doesn’t bother you anymore. If you keep “picking the scab” it won’t get better. Let it rest. You won’t lose gains as fast as you think.
@@OverheadAthletics thanks for the advice i will start these exercises in a few days when i finsh my first week of resting and i already feel much better after less than a week of rest and i havent lost any gains and i actually feel slightly stronger, really excited to get back at it soon
@@OverheadAthletics I tried the ecentric load exercise but my tendon feels slightly weak the day after but it dosent hurt is it ment to feel like this because its getting used to the load, if not then do you know what this is
You should stop before it gets worse.
First of all stop training any push exercice that causes even slight pain for the triceps , and try to rest more days between push days, throw in every now and then a week-off training push , and sometimes a week-off training upper body and try to limit elbow activity with leg
Stay like this for like 8weeks until you feel like you will be ok getting back to your routine but dont !!
Then triceps fully rested , start doing what this video says for like 8 weeks
Then you should be ok getting back to normal but always be careful with triceps extension no heavy work no over volume .
I’am talking with my experience plus I am a medstudent.
Best of luck
Was doing one arm pushups and i started feeling pains and it stopped and then I started doing pushups again and it got way worse
Ramp-up from these exercises
I injured my arm throwing a football all day recently. My tricep is constantly sore and my elbow snaps/clicks every time I extend it. Can someone tell me what this is?
You need to see an orthopedic surgeon. This could be arthritis, snapping triceps syndrome, or a subluxing ulnar nerve.
When I tense and move my arm my elbow seems to catch on and pops is this tricep tendonitit
It can be triceps tendinitis or snapping triceps syndrome or ulnar subluxation. It could also be catching inside the joint but this is more rare
Mine only hurts after i throw hard and then it hurts for about 5 days and then it feels fine to throw 70% but 100% hurts what but if i wait long enough i can go 100% but if i go to much it hurts again really bad
Have you seen an orthopedic surgeon?
Overhead Athletics no i havent
is it bad that my tricep and my elbow/biceps hurt it’s been nearly 3 days same pain
I wouldn’t call it good...
Hurt mine 4 years ago in bjj. Still regular
Best of luck with recovery!
Happens to me in bjj and lifting
reps? and sets please?
Do it to a tolerable amount. Start low maybe 2 sets of a few reps and slowly build!
Why does my wrist hurt when I do this?
Hard to know with out seeing you do it. Trying slightly flexing your wrist forward and tilting your hand slightly to the outside.
is there any reason shoulder lateral raises would cause tricep pain? I just find it odd that tricep exercises themselves don’t cause such pain. I am afraid I’ll have to give up those lateral raises if this continues 🤦♂️
long head of the triceps tendon participates in shoulder abduction
if ita popping when I do this should I continue
I’d alter the technique
