[@caglargonul7366]

After experiencing a painful armbar and suffering a minor injury, I am recovering with this video. Thanks x 10000.

[@huskylord123]

Thank you...as a newcomer to BJJ, I was wondering why my inner elbows were aching. Good to learn these techniques. Much appreciated.

[@donjojo4756]

I was training 6 times a week, and I noticed some weird elbow pain after 3 rolls. I'm glad to see it's a normal thing for beginners. Good luck on your journey, brother

[@Cosmicflow9]

I do wrestling and I have been elbow pain for a while this helped instantly

[@AlexTapia8616]

Had my first class where I couldn’t use my right arm from the tendinitis and this helped almost immediately even with light practice day one.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Thats awesome!

[@TwentyEight80s]

Wow my tendonitis was getting really bad and today after training I realized I needed to actually do something about it instead of trying to let it “heal”. This exercise felt so good immediately and took a lot of tension off my elbow. I’ll be using this regularly from now on. Thank you!

[@bulletproofforbjj]

so glad to hear it! thats a win for everyone : )

[@SolzheBitsyn]

instantaneous relief from one of these. Thank you!

[@_itsmiketorres]

INSTANT Relief from the first exercise. WOW!!! You nailed the root cause, tight/weak extensors. TY!!!

[@mellow_jive_13]

Thanks you!! I just tried them for the first time and it definitely decreased the discomfort I was having, not a 100% yet but my elbows are feeling better

[@bensmith8930]

One day of this and the pain has reduced greatly. Thank you for this routine?

[@cvblaylock]

I’m having issues with my left elbow because of a nasty armbar. So glad I found this video.

[@TheFineolase]

Your channel is a gold mine of great information for grapplers who give a shit about taking care of their body's.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Thanks so much! We're trying to create more grapplers who care enough to look after themselves : )

Its helping me a lot in getting rid of a my elbow pain caused from Judo training

[@bulletproofforbjj]

glad to hear it!

[@kenoath5717]

Instant relief. Have had issues with golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis) over the past two year’s from pull-ups. Two sessions of this and the loss of tension in my forearms and absence of pain is incredible!

[@bulletproofforbjj]

So good to hear it mate! Glad we could help.

[@WtFGankalot]

Thank you

[@MMAGUY13]

I thought my elbows were sore from all the grappling I do I’m on my hands and knees I thought it’s from rubbing against the mat I can’t believe I did this exercise and it instantly went away. Thank you so much.

[@craigholliday]

[@muhammadnurulaslam1084]

Did it help?

[@lifestylezwaks]

Awesome content! Very informational. Yiwww.

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeew

[@WISDOor]

Just found this video pain in right elbow followed video once will Update on progress but felt really tight across the forearms shoulders and biceps

[@WISDOor]

But I totally agree I work at heights so constantly engaging Flexor digitorum profundus 😅😂 with my work also

[@WISDOor]

Oh yeah 🎉 it has eased up a little bit

[@WISDOor]

Nearly two weeks on great improvement & going to keep pushing forward mixed in with some shoulder stretches and lat stretches

[@WISDOor]

And correct shoulder width push up slowly

[@alanr6188]

Does this help with trapped ulnar nerve?

[@matejaraskovic9792]

This is amazing! I started BJJ one week ago, during the third training I got pain in my elbow. It was hurting me for a couple of hours after it, but it stopped right after I did the excercises you shared. Thanks, this gives me hope that I can overcome this problem and continue training. Would you recommend going through whole class once the pain arises or should one take a break? :)

[@davekapka1677]

Could this imbalance build into the tricep? I just started rolling and after class on the car ride home Ive got a dull throbbing pain in the middle of my tricep… no crazy armbar mishaps or anything, was thinking maybe I just strained the muscle? I dialed back to going super easy in the fundamentals class with just drilling and not weight lifting to rest it, but grip work and pressing today in class i can feel the pain (faintly) again.

[@richie5670]

This shit is 100% gold!!

[@bulletproofforbjj]

glad you're diggin it!

[@xpertvision5249]

Is this video about tennis elbow?

[@bulletproofforbjj]

pretty much

[@jameswilsonmusic7749]

​@@bulletproofforbjjwhat about tricep pain by the elbow

[@bulletproofforbjj]

@@jameswilsonmusic7749 Then you may need massage or treatment on your triceps and that is a seperate issue all together.

[@strahinja95]

My elbow got swollen from transfering the weight over it when doing straight ankle lock. I think it is called bursitis. How can i prevent it and recover from it? It happened to my knees when i did bjj solo drills without the mat, on the wooden floor. Also i got it from working at the desk and putting the weight on the elbow. It's really sensitive and painful

[@bulletproofforbjj]

Bursitis is a tricky one. Best thing to do is consult a physiotherapist. In my experience,. bursitis has always come from impacting the said joint (bashing the knee or elbow on something hard, like you've done too). I would try and move with a bit more awareness so you're not impacting the floor so hard.

[@desty4030]

This guy kinda looks like an elongated Chael Sonnen

[@desty4030]

Really good video! Spot on

[@jaydennielsen5796]
