My Elbow Snaps/Clicks When I Do Pushups. Should I Be Worried? How Do I Fix This?

[@ivebeenthinking9173]

You're the first person to ever solve a joint problem for me. I realized my left arm (which was clicking at the elbow) had much weaker external rotation as opposed to my right arm which had much weaker internal rotation. I'm gonna work on this imbalance now. Thank you so much!

[@Himricks]

What did you do buddy to fix it

[@KXLLAGTAG]

Same

[@mikeprice8307]

What did you do?

[@seanh7139]

I rarely leave comments, but this deserves one. I have had clicking in my left elbow for months doing pushups. I used his approach to find out with muscles/tendons were the issues and it worked immediately. I now have knowledge to start a rehab program to prevent future injury. Best part is it took 15 min to help me diagnose

i cant believe how effective and easy those elbow extension stretches are. i could barely do push ups because how uncomfortable the click was and i did the super rack and it was nearly gone. it blew my mind

[@oasishurl]

My elbows pop when I lift kettle bells, but I just tried the three push up test and they didn't. That's weird. I'll try kettle bell curls, then stretch for a minute, and try to isolate the problem that way. Thank you so much for introducing this process to me. I have always been anxious about this one tendon that seems to slide on to the inside of my elbow when I lift.

[@SimpleStrongScience]

You're welcome! Did it work?

[@sluggo562]

I've gotten this click during any kind of elbow exercise: curls, pulldowns, pushups, arnold presses, etc. my whole life. Some days on every single rep. I've had people look over and ask if I'm okay. Been going to the gym since high school nearly twenty years ago. Never had a coach know what it was and never thought to google it until now. Bahaha. I'm not sure what to conclude from the video other than changing position could work if you don't like the sound.

[@lukeyy1664]

Exact same but I'm 15, did you find a solution ?

[@AlcatrazMeow]

@@lukeyy1664 it's called snapping triceps

[@robertbornschein5583]

For me it was shoulder INT rotator cuffs. Exercises like the self arm wrestle and just band pulls prior to pushups completely made the popping noise go away and made my left arm feel more stable 🙏🏼

[@konkoor881]

straight onto the point unlike those 20 minute videos lol thanks

[@kollsepta]

Hey, I know its been two years, but my elbow pops even when not doing any exercise, normally it doesn't but if I go to the gym and train triceps, for the next 1-2 days (while I'm sore) it keeps popping every time I do a big motion with my arms, both of them, its getting annoying, it doesn't hurt or anything but it still got me worried, stretching doesn't really help much.

[@OnBean-qe1vf]

Same here. Did you ever get rid of the pop?

[@kobealasco2916]

Dude thank you so much for this! Like last year was when my elbows started clicking everytime I did a pushup, and stopped doing pushups because of that, but now its fixed in just 10 seconds!!! (You earn a sub for that bro)

​@@SimpleStrongScience hi, did you ever do anything on grinding? I get this from my elbow and I'm a bit worried...it's quiet but still there...light clicks but if I'm in a quiet room and move my right elbow in a certain way..e.g hand turned in and some flexion then I get an obvious grinding noise. I also am getting a feeling of catching with bench press and dips. The left elbow has no noise at all in any position. I like to train with heavy weights but now am scared in wearing out my joint.
