How to Fix Your Popping Elbow (Snapping Triceps)

[@ChadofJudgement]

I thought i was suffering from cupital tunnel syndrome... And couldn't do any push ups... I was quite depressed.... But thankfully i did the first excercise... And well in 2 years... This is the first time the popping stopped... I can't thank you enough... Thanks alot!

[@jacksantorafitness]

That's awesome to hear! I'm so glad you found it helpful.

[@frantisektoman8614]

Do you mean the first stretch?

[@Bismallahnebda2mozakra]

​@@frantisektoman8614this is my other account.. Yes i mean the 1st stretch the one with external rotation.... And a little update... Now it pops much much less and with only some movements... I can do whatever excercise i wasn't able to do before 😁😁

[@Onelove313]

Hey there. How is your elbow holding up?

[@laurilaakkonen2339]

Did this routine once and immediately noticed a difference for the better. Thank you for the advice.

[@jacksantorafitness]

That's awesome to hear! If you'd like some more direct help feel free to shoot me a DM on IG (@jacksantorafitness) and I'd be happy to talk through it with you and see if there is any other content I have that you might find helpful as well

[@AlcatrazMeow]

Someone with an acute snapping triceps and ulnar nerve wont be able to do most of these, moreover bending the elbow and extending repeatedly...

[@tyguy367]

That’s what I was thinking

[@professorx4270]

If you have something this severe (not just uncomfortable but painful) and are hoping to find a solution to a problem this severe on KZbin then you’re an idiot.

[@Sueghandis]

Never had this before until recently. Did 100 push ups a day for 2 months. No issue. Joined football and lifted for about 5 months. No issue. Took a few months off. When I started push-ups again, towards the end of my first set I could feel something roll over and sometimes even a mini snap sound. No pain at all but just don’t want it to become problematic if I push through. It’s also annoying. Any tips???

[@jacksantorafitness]

I understand not wanting it to become more. Sounds like it might have been something that's developed over time and relates to the mechanics of your arms. Things I would be looking at... scapular position/stability, shoulder rotation, elbow and wrist rotation. If you want you can DM me an example of your push-ups on Instagram. I'd be happy to take a look and see if anything stands out (@jacksantorafitness)

[@Sueghandis]

@@jacksantorafitness So what should my first step be to solve this.

[@lambtypeguy-cd4tp]

It's game over bro

[@myrongaines6022]

Both elbows have been doing this for years. They snap on every rep of overhead press and most of the time during dumbbell press, but it doesn't hurt. My left does hurt if I let it snap on tricep isolation exercises though, I've been training around it by keeping to the bottom half of the movement. Will try these exercises to see if it helps. Never had tingling in my fingers until I heard it could be a nerve issue, but I'm super susceptible to suggestion like that so I figure it's just my body freaking out cause my brain is freaking out.

[@jacksantorafitness]

Definitely give these a try and let me know how they go for you. If you'd like to do some more troubleshooting with me feel free to shoot me a DM on IG (@jacksantorafitness)

Where did you find such a long voodoo floss? The longest ones that I can find are max 213cm long.

[@wideopenthrottl]

The first exercise really aggravated the nerve I think. I did it without a band and it still left my hand very numb and my elbow in more pain. I stopped here. Massage is painful also.

What if I don’t have a pole?

Ive had this issue in both arms for almost 2 years. I tried these and second session in, occasionally my right elbow doesnt snap. Thanks so much, it seems to be improving!

[@wesley.steves]

Any updates?

[@dakirch10]

@@wesley.steves Still snapping but it's not as bad as it used to be. Almost as if the tendon is looser when it goes around. Sometimes my right doesn't snap at all for a little bit though.

@@dakirch10another update? how is it now?

[@dogie8c]

@@SadCatHighlightsSame here. Update, please?

[@BallEnjoyer]

update please

[@Sueghandis]

This only happens when towards the end of my first set onwards. Why is this? It is not painful. Is this even snapping triceps syndrome?

[@jacksantorafitness]

This is why I say it sounds like it's more mechanical or possibly even tension related if it appears as the reps go on. It sounds like your tendon or ulnar nerve but also like your asymptomatic otherwise.

[@Raidency]

2 questions, did you have snapping triceps syndrome? And if yes, did these exercises solve it ?

[@jacksantorafitness]

I was never diagnosed with snapping triceps syndrome but did have snapping/popping at my elbows occurring and pain at the medial elbow which has been resolved now.

[@Sueghandis]

@@jacksantorafitnesshow did you resolve it? How often would I have to do these movements and how many weeks would you estimate?

[@fcobob78]

Thank you for the video. I get snappy elbow but also get a "crunchy" noise when I rotate my elbow joint, also the crunchy noise happens when I do puish-ups. would this also help with this issue?

[@jacksantorafitness]

Yup! Should help with both. I'd especially recommend getting your hands on the voodoo floss if you don't already have it.

[@experiencewithmartin972]

Hi Jack, appreciate the video. Can i ask you a question ? Currently the moment i pull myself up on the pullup bar i start going down but my elbow feels like it is locking up when trying to go past the middle and it hurts, there is some big tension. It feels like a tendon is stuck or something. I can extend my arm when it is not tense but i can't do it when going down from a pullup or up from a pushup. My elbows have always cracked, my right one more severely, i play tennis as well. What could this be ? I am going to a physio soon but can you please tell me what you think, just worried. Thank you for the video !

you can cut those horse mats with a box knife or razor cutter. its pretty easy, I had to cut one down to fit in a dog kennel.

Not sure we're staying here so I didn't want to make any permanent adjustments just yet!

[@em478w]

Do you have a link to purchase the band you used at the beginning?

[@jacksantorafitness]

I get them off of Amazon usually. The brand is Odoland and you can get a full kit for about $40

[@zrpggamer]

Do you suggest Elbow Sleeves when benching?

[@jacksantorafitness]

If you find they provide temporary relief then sure, but I would also suggest going after the mobility issues that are occurring along your arm from wrist to shoulder. Those will be the long term solution.

[@mahsafit598]

Thank you so much!❤❤❤

[@Eneergy]

how long is the healing time brother pleasee reply❤

[@jacksantorafitness]

You should be able to see improvements in 4-8 weeks

[@VincentFink]

would this work without the band and pole and just doing with body weight?

[@jacksantorafitness]

You can try it without but I've found banded exercises like this to be pretty effective when addressing joints.

The resistance band work and mobility flossing can be done daily. You may need to give a day in between on the triceps smash and extensions to allow tissue recovery.

[@stanleywijaya1563]

Hey Jack, does your tricep pop produce sharp pain when extending-flexing the elbow? Or its just a pop?

[@oxide5690]

If the pain is radiating to your hand then it's probably ulnar neuritis.

[@jacksantorafitness]

It's snapping that is painful and usually does come with ulnar nerve symptoms. So if you're experiencing any numbness or tingling in your middle, ring, and pinky finger and you have popping also that might be an indicator.

[@harryabsy1694]

Bro I don't have the band that you have how to fix it without that?

[@jacksantorafitness]

Mobility floss is a really inexpensive tool and incredibly underrated and utilized ($25). I'd highly recommend getting some wraps.

[@harryabsy1694]

@@jacksantorafitness sure

[@madfrequencies]

Thank you my triceps snapped with the Sound from cobblestone in minecraft . After one day of training it is better and i can hear the snap no more

[@Eneergy]

instead of the one I'm wrapping in my hand, can we wrap it with a medical bandage brother

[@jacksantorafitness]

Unfortunately a medical bandage is not quite the same as the mobility floss and won't provide the same results

[@shawnkelley2248]

How will this stop a tendon from going over the medial making the snap?

[@jacksantorafitness]

That tendon didn't always snap. That's something that develops over time with poor mechanics and function of the tissues. Here we're working on restoring both through each of these so the soft tissues glide better and the system of the arm mechanically functions better.
