This video shares a conversation in regards to golfer's elbow and general tendon rehab. Golfer's elbow or Medial Epicondylitis can be a very frustrating injury that is extremely persistent. It's a fine balance of load management and taking your time to progress back to full strength and ability. This should not be taken as medical advice and always seek advice from a qualified professional in person.

Excellent video brother! Hammer curls did play a huge role in my recovery (or not, but I wasn’t doing much else so probably yes) - other than that, for the rest struggling: I found rows in neutral grip to give me no pain so I focused on those. There is always a way around it, but as clearly stated on this video: we got it find out for ourselves. Finally, it took me 12-14months to feel no pain at all so definitely be patient if you are going through this. Best of luck to everyone! Tom you rock ✊🏽 -Gabo

Thanks for this comment. I've been suffering for the best part of 7 months now but everywhere I look, people are saying they suffered for years then overcame it in 2 weeks after trying 'this' when I've been in physio for a month and it hasn't budged. Thanks for setting me a realistic expectation and restoring some hope I'll be on them bars again one day 🙏🏾👍🏾💛🤝🏾

This is the best golfers elbow content I've found on youtube

[@advaita.athlete]

What worked for me was tons and tons of repetitions with a light resistance band. From wrist focus, to bicep and triceps. Did this EVERYDAY, pre and post workout, regardless of what I was training. I basically always had a crazy arm pump! Few weeks/months later, I could push the intensity again with my pushing and pulling movements without any pain. For anyone with tendonitis here, I wish you all well. It sucks, I know ...

[@swashy8933]

Repetitions of what exercise???

[@advaita.athlete]

@@swashy8933 I did a variety of movements, but they are all focused on strengthening the wrist and forearm muscles. Resistance bands are gold when it comes to pre/rehad. Check out some armwrestling specific excersizes. Armwrestlers are the people with the strongest and most resilient joints and muscles in the arms! My favorites were the basic wrist curls and pronation/supination movements. These movements give the best pump, and at low intensity. Crush a few 100 reps a day!

@@advaita.athlete Hello sir. I've been dealing with elbow pain for 2 years now. Doctor couldn't diagnose it with tennis elbow but I have the symptoms (Not all of them, when I do exercises etc. the pain doesn't increase) my problem is that my pain is constant. Especially when I wake up at mornings both my elbows hurts. Any advice?

[@advaita.athlete]

@@ozguraydn8407 Hey man, firstly, I am not a trained medical practitioner, but I can give some insights. I personally have never had the morning elbow pains. All my tendonopathy pains came from overtraining, except my patellar tendonitis (I've had knee problems since early teenage years) In your case, it might be something a little more severe than your regular elbow tendonopathy. Could be anything from trapped nerve problems, but seeing that it occurs on both arms, every morning, I am not really sure. Could also be mild conditions of arthritis growing (genetic). Could also be due to lack of strength and mobility in the shoulders or wrists. In some cases, the joint with pain, is only at the effect of the surrounding joints being weak or immobile, which in turn, leads to overcompensation. For example - my pattelar tendonitis only started fading once I strengthened everything up and around the knee, especially the hips and upper legs. Mobility also plays a key role in the integrity of joints. Many factors contribute to these types of pains and you need to, unfortunatly, check ALL of them until you find the root cause. Luckily, there is always a way to strengthen and relief pain.

[@ozguraydn8407]

This is GOLD, I have been suffering from Medial epicondylitis for 6 months now and I have tried the default hot and cold and nothing!

Tom, anyone with golfers elbow has to watch this video to understand the injury and what they need to do. You have done a great job providing facts that people can follow among all the false information that's out there, thank you!

[@mraaron4147]

Getting this injury was one of my best teachers! I now do two 30 - 40 minute forearm / wrist/ finger strength / strength endurance sessions a week which include pronation, supination..wrist flexion and extension..finger flexion and extension and ulnar / radial deviation..and I periodize different tools/ angles for each action. It's pretty much eradicated the golfer elbow I've had. I use wrist rollers, grip strengtheners etc. My take on it is to strengthen and increase bloodflow through all of the tissue that leads up to the joint in pain...and then work the opposite side to keep it balanced. So many muscles lead up to certain joints..so work actively through full range of motion of each of these muscles if that joint is in pain.

Quality video Tom!! Really good advices when it comes to injuries... It makes a lot of sense that the mind plays a huge role in terms of pain and recovery, that's why is so important to approach injuries as an opportunity to explore new ways of moving and spend some time on things that otherwise are been neglected :D Personally, I'm in the process of healing my right knee, so in the meantime I'm focusing on isometrics and low intensity exercises for the lower body, as well as some flexibility work.. plus I still dig deep on my upper body sessions, which has been phenomenal... Anyway, just a quick reminder to keep moving and being able to adapt to hardships, cause' at the end of the day we can choose the way we face "problems". Cheers from the far away lands of Chile

It took me over a year and a half to recover from my golfer's elbow. While it wasn't fun waiting to heal, it did teach me that I wasn't using lats enough to power my pull ups.

[@Greg_Chock]

@@clouddzn2556 Not sure what exactly what you're looking for. When I did chin ups, I'd feel pain on the outside of my elbows. It got worse over time (weeks) until I felt it even when I wasn't exercising. I stopped because I didn't want to cause permanent damage.

[@kylereece1979]

Glad reading that your injury retreated and healed. 👍 I really got back into trying to learn guitar over the last year at home more, and though Ive played it on and off over the years, for some reason my right elbow, upper forearm was inflamed and horribly tight for most of this year due to playing. Rigid Downpicking, and overclenching of the forearm were culprits. Ive since tried to relax the arm as much as possible and slowly work back up speed and movement via more controlled wrist movement, and watch out for tightening up the arm in general. Im still tight (especially upon waking) but in general its a bit better.

[@dmca20031]

This video really hit home Tom, thanks so much

[@Txoldibxl]

This is the best video I found on this topic, thanks ! I got golfer's elbow about two weeks ago and it sucks. My intuition had me resting for 5 or 6 days, then returning to the gym to test what exercises were still doable with lighter loads and grip modifications while keeping the pain to about a 3. Turns out it was a good idea. Resting for long periods of time never does any good. Neutral grip does wonders. I can do proper hammer curls with almost the same load as before the injury with barely no discomfort. In fact, most push exercises are fine if I decrease the load by 10 or 15% which is not too bad. Pull exercises on the other hand are still too painful. Cable flys almost had me screaming, had to stop right away. Anyway, I'll be patient and keep playing with the range of motion and the isometric phase to see where it takes me and hopefully it'll get better with the passing of weeks. Also, I reckon doing 15 minutes of zone 2 cardio before resistance training could be beneficial as it increases overall blood flow through the body. Maybe not, but I'll try anyway.

[@user-bs5fk1kh2d]

Once upon ylthe time i did some exersises on rings to show my Lil brother the form. It was quite cold outside, 15 degrees celcium or more likely even lower, i was wearing just a T shirt. I felt pain in the elbow soon and we had to finish off the training. Pain was that big that i could not do unilateral exersises like Archer push ups or just one arm push ups/assisted one arm pull up on rings. Then i went back to the basics, normal push ups and pull ups, more handstand work. Eventually, pain went off and it almost never went back, at least not in a way it was. Right now, i just feel some little discomfort in my elbows after irong cross pulls on rings (or pumps, call it whatever u like). Thanks for the video Tom, appreciate the information you always try to give helping us on our Journey of BIDYWEIGHT WARRIORS :)

Looking forward to this video. I took up guitar practice again over the last year, and got serious strain and pain in the right elbow from trying to play along to various Metal songs, with Metallica's "Master of Puppets" downpicking speed giving me serious strife😒😊.

I know this isnt exactly calisthenics/bodyweight Training related, but maybe you can still give it a shot.

[@MrAnamchara]

This video has given me great hope and reaffirmed the strategy I have been using to overcome my golfer’s elbows. I’ve swapped my training in the gym to mainly hypertrophy over strength, bought wrist hooks, figure 8 straps and changed the way I go about things. I have been tracking and noticing a big improvement even in a month in things I couldn’t do before. I’ll be adding in the hammer curls and weighted supination exercises to my bag of tricks and be aware this could take me a year to over come. I am fine with that because I can still make progress in my physique .

[@adamtheamazing4411]

Hi i might also get lifting straps. Was wondering do lifting straps help you do your exercises without pain?

@@adamtheamazing4411 They certainly help me by taking most of the strain on the wrists and not the tendon . I have wrist hooks and figure of 8s.

[@Siberius-]

Golfer's elbow can also be from having the bar or rings or whatever down in your fingers, as opposed to using a deeper grip. Which can happen when the grip starts to fail.

[@jonathanlyons3491]

I found the hammer twist exercise to be extremely beneficial. I would suggest also trying it with the arm extended straight out to the side. While that worked well for the forearm, it didn't help much above the elbow. I still had discomfort where the tricep connected to the elbow.

[@truly.taegan]

If you have this injury and wanna do push ups without pain, I found bending your elbow about 3/4 and contracting your scapular (shoulder blades) the rest of the way to lower your chest rather than bending your elbow all the way which will cause pain. I also found flaring your elbows a little too much will cause pain so keep those elbows tucked by your sides if that helps. Yes you will be working a bit more of your back rather than triceps and chest but at least this way you can still work around it. If this still hurts then try what works for you and if all else fails best not to do that movement and do other exercises.

[@pedrorojas5498]

This is the first time that I hear about this injury lasting 6-12 months. I’ve had golfers elbow since around January and knowing this timeline would have helped ease some anxiety. On another note, something that has worked well for me is balancing the strength of the muscles that are involved in wrist mobility, ie. flexion, extension, supination, pronation. I’ve found Emmet Louis’ Grip program on HSF to be especially beneficial for overcoming my golfers elbow.

[@captainheh5826]

Did it ever get better?

[@DevinsCalisthenics]

The pain that doesn't show up on any scans could be myofascial trigger points in the muscles that had the tendonitis. These are painful nodules that form usually in the belly of the muscle when it's overworked or injured. They are muscle fibers stuck in the contracted position and this is where stretching and massage DOES help. Best is to see someone trained in trigger point therapy.

[@edemaye3328]

I am following the advice of my physio and performing isometric loading for my golfers elbow. As a climber I've also been advised to avoid training lock-offs or extreme extension - both elbow positions at the opposite end of the spectrum. I've found I've been able to continue pulling exercises with less / bearable aggravation using medium thickness handles - such as gymnastic rings and the jug holds on the Beastmaker 1000 ( climbers may know this fingerboard as it's very popular - for good reason ). These handle styles take stress off my elbows - especially rings, where I find changing the angle of my hands ( supinated - pronated ) provides relief. Low rows on the TRX handles also work well. There is always some minor pain, but I expect that, and I do try to keep movements slower than I might be otherwise doing in order not to shock the tendon. My understanding is that tendons don't react well to sudden change in loading. I'm expecting slow progress though, and am keeping an eye out for other important life factors such as rest, diet and stress.

Did you went for thick to medium or thin to medium? Currently thinking on swapping the rings and forcing neutral grip pulling exercises with some wrists curls and hammer curls to go back on track Cheers

@@mrmattjones I already wrote this in an other thread, I'll repost it here: For me it was firstly waiting until the acute stinging pain went away. Then starting to do forearm work in every angle possible and after that the same pulling movements as before the injury happened but with really low intensity. Neutral grip works great for me, as in hammer curls and neutral grip rows etc. I also found it's extremely important to give my elbow enough rest, like I didn't even practice playing drums the day after i trained the elbow. And then i think it's just about patience and not overdoing it again. So slowly increasing intensity each session.

Do I go back? See another Dr? What do I do? I've tried to do some rehabbing at home on my own. It's how I found your channel. I focused on yoga and stretching mainly, targeting a lot in my hands, but there's not a lot out there to tell you how to rehab a hand. This injury still affects my everyday life, including work. I can't function fully in my hand. Hurts to even use a pencil No weight. No grip. No pinching. No grabbing or grasping or holding anything unless I leave my middle finger straight and use only my index, ring, pinky finger and thumb. I'm just going to cause more injury by "babying" my middle finger and overcompensating using my other ones. The middle finger is a major player (who knew) when using your hand.

Tom, you mentioned that you reckon people in recovery should probably eat a bit more so they have everything the body needs to heal from a nutritional standpoint. This reminded me of a question I’ve been meaning to ask for a while and that’s about protein powders. I think you do use them, right? In one of your training vlogs you said that you overdid the protein a bit and that the eggs you ate were probably overkill. At the same time you were saying that eating high quality, nutrient dense whole food is best for you. How come the protein powder wasn’t the thing that was overkill then, rather than the eggs? I suppose in general I’m curious about how you see protein supplementation in the bigger picture and if your opinion has changed on it over time. Thanks as always for the informative content 👍

[@BodyweightWarrior]

You’re quite right. I think I mentioned the eggs were overkill as they were probably additions but they would be much more nutritionally valuable than the protein powder. I haven’t actually used protein powder for a few months now, just focusing on quality meat, eggs and fish (lots of it)

There's no video too long if it brings us this info/knowledge. Keep at it man. 🦾

[@j.m.b5441]

What about naproxen? Does it help with this?

[@notacrew69]

for the algortihm!

[@abayanleo1011]

Hey Tom,I really hope you see this. I have terrible pain on both of my shoulders and hear clicking sounds. Whenever I do a straight arm exercise or an isometric like plank, mountain climbers,in and outs,my arms give a burning sensation. I even went as far to take an MRI scan but nothing turned up. I really need help 🙏.

[@andersjensen7348]

Do you have forward rounded shoulders? Could be overuse of the pec minor caused by a bad posture, which Leads to bad technique

[@andersjensen7348]

And maybe impingement in the shoulders

literally had this for 2 years and haven’t been able to lift

[@maxxx966]

lmaoo story of my life.. finally healed it after years of figuring out the right stretches and flossing exercises

[@boomerang-digital8514]

@@maxxx966 good to hear! mind sharing what you specifically did to heal it? i think i’m making it worse by not doing anything

[@fofer5586]

@@boomerang-digital8514 for me it was firstly waiting until the acute stinging pain went away. Then starting to do forearm work in every angle possible and after that the same pulling movements as before the injury happened but with really low intensity. Neutral grip works great for me, as in hammer curls and neutral grip rows etc. I also found it's extremely important to give my elbow enough rest, like I didn't even practice playing drums the day after i trained the elbow. And then i think it's just about patience and not overdoing it again. So slowly increasing intensity each session. I was starting with very light bw-rows (almost standing upright) and now - over a year later - I am back to pullups.

What are your thoughts on a ganglion cyst on the wrist?? Went to the doctor but she told me that even with surgery it might comeback.

Slam a book on it. You'll be all better in no time.

bruh i literally got golfer elbow like a day ago after three years of training and you posted this lmao well guess the doctor can wait a bit

is it better now?

[@adamtheamazing4411]

I found that using heat and massaging with a tennis ball or foam roller helps a lot. Stick to the rehab exercises everyday and in a while your pain should decrease.

*KZbinrs go out their way to give the best possible advices for a general population they have no way of giving perfect diagnosis and treatments on but try their best*: "Yeah but I'm no doc so make sure to get professional assessment and advice" *Me going to a professional*: " Yo you have pain so don't do sports for six weeks, no need for PT, there a good vids on YT for that, bye"

[@OberonLacroix]

I don’t think ignoring the benefits of soft tissue work of the forearms in the early stages of the injury can be ignored, then a focus on strengthening once tight forearm flexors has been delt with

[@BodyweightWarrior]

The literature would disagree. Lots of reviews / analysis show no benefit for tendon recovery

[@adnanshoukat1793]

Googling how to fix a broken arm would actually work

I wish I had found you videos sooner... I probably wouldn’t have lost my drive if I had. Now I’m 25 and probably too late to hope to get anything like that thumbnail.

[@jimmahgee]

If you’re 25 then you’re still very much in your prime. You won’t look exactly like Tom because you have different bodies, but if you have some goals to set for yourself then make a plan and stick to it!
