Retired Marine, pullups were important for the physical fitness test while in the Corps. This is the absolute best!! Thank you. Have always been able to do 15-20 after retirement, elbow pain has effected my exercises.
It would be great if youtubers actually had the injury beforehand. This way people know what to expect. If you are over 40, the pain will last 12-18 months with minimal healing during this period even after watching every video on youtube and following the excercise recommended.
I’m going to be 60 years old this year and have been training since I was a kid. I’ve had just about every sprain, strain, tendinitis, etc you can think of. Including “pull up elbow”. Personally, I disagree with your assessment that it takes 12-18 months to recovery. If the right therapy is performed, it’s a matter of weeks to recover not months.
Thank you Sir, I have exactly the elbow pain as described. And yes, I did pull ups and chin ups daily. I wished I had come across your video earlier to avoid this injury. Now I will follow your guidance hope can heal fast, I am 61 yo this year. Thank you again.
If you have to break form to get the chin over the bar, as I discussed in the video, then I would stop. Your other option is to do some partial reps at the end of your set.
Some of that soft tissue work might be helpful. You may want to check out a video I did on tennis elbow (outside elbow pain). That might be helpful for you. Good luck!
@@OcraMedHealth True. Not always. I would assume a lot of crossfit trainees want too much too soon. Lacking joint preparation, forcing the body to handle force it can´t cope. After 20 years of rings training my elbows are fine "so far".
@@Noastrenght I was a gymnast, competing at both the high school and college level, and never had trouble from using a false grip on rings either. You do get use to doing a false grip on rings.
Hey dr, I have a problem in my elbow which is similar to this but I'm getting my ulnar tendon popping over my funny bone. It's very debilitating, I've seen many professionals, got an xray, an mri and no one ever could help me, I wasted so much money on them. You got any suggestions for it?

i think you been spying on me. lol I have this injury from chin ups
Good luck and heal quickly!
I learned how to do 20 pull ups in 2 monts. Is it Good or Bad?
As long as you don't have any pain, it's fine. Good luck!
So you should stop the set when you cant get the chin over the bar anymore?

@@OcraMedHealth thank you brother!
Can you use the same exercises for the outside of the elbow that’s where I get pain when I do chin ups

Thank you
ihave red bumbs under my skin of my elbow both sides where ifeel pain should isee a doctor ?
I would have your doctor take a look at that. Good luck!!
@@OcraMedHealth ok thanks
Outer bicep.pain /weak when pull up
Maybe check out this video: th-cam.com/video/K-Dq4jfjBcU/w-d-xo.html
@@OcraMedHealth hi that's not it ,i feel the pain is in the muscle not joint
The brachioradialis is a muscle that starts in forearm and is located between the bicep and tricep. Commonly strained on pull ups.
@@OcraMedHealth i know and its weak and hurts a lot when i pull up i can do 50 chin ups and only 2 pull ups that why i am worried
@@OcraMedHealth any advice its weak and how do i know of its a tear that i ignored
If you do a lot of false grip ring work your forearms are strong enough ;-)
Not always. I have treated a lot of cross fitters and gymnast with sore elbows from doing the false grip work on rings.

Always solid, Joe. Thank you!
Appreciate it!
This is me after 2 reps. Terrible pain in my elbow. Doesn’t help that I’m 240. I started using bands as assistants and cable pull downs.
Bands work great for pull-ups. Keep working with them! Good luck!

I have a couple of videos on fascial release work for the tricep. Perhaps try some of those techniques. Good luck and keep me posted on your progress.
Thanks amigo for the info, I just started doing pull ups 2 months ago and I’ve seen results but I just started getting that pain there.
Good luck my friend! Hope the video helps.
Someone answer that phone!😂
Nailed it. Great video, thank you.
My pleasure!
Exactly what I have......thanks!!!!
You're welcome! Good luck!
Really good video, Dr. Joe! Sooooooo helpful. Thank you!
You're very welcome! Good luck!
