jvance Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Does anyone know a good routine for improving elbow tendinitis? Starting to get pain in my upper forearm near the elbow when I do support grip movements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Scibelli Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I've never gotten it there before. Can you feel it when you do extensor work too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I had really bad tendinitis early last year. I started working in regular extensor work with IM Bands and it hasn't come back since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthar Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Make sure your training is balanced. Plenty of extensor work as said above. Warmth and manual massage to help it heal faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 I do extensors regularly... I've been resting pretty much the whole week... It's not intense but I don't want it to get worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I do extensors regularly... I've been resting pretty much the whole week... It's not intense but I don't want it to get worse Too much wrist thingy? Inside or outside of the forearm? Either way - roll it out with the "stick". That usually works pretty well but the wrist thingy usually fixes mine up with supper light higher reps. If it keeps up try some trigger point massage.

jvance Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks everyone I do extensors regularly... I've been resting pretty much the whole week...

That usually works pretty well but the wrist thingy usually fixes mine up with supper light higher reps. If it keeps up try some trigger point massage. Chris; i don't think it was the wrist thingy - it hurts when i practice my 2hp techique with my 35s on a pipe with extra weight - the movement where i try to twist the plates and wrist curl backwards.. i will try a light high rep set with the wrist thingy tomorrow when i work and see if it helps also, what do you mean by 'roll it out with the "stick" '?

gm1swm Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Does anyone know a good routine for improving elbow tendinitis?Starting to get pain in my upper forearm near the elbow when I do support grip movements Is it on the bottom of the forearm. Probably could be stress you get from the hypothenar eminence. I would sometimes feel discomfort in my inner elbow from doing Rolling Thunder.

jvance Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 yeah it has evolved into sort of a dull ache from the elbow to the top of the hand.. hard to locate - i guess i'll have to keep taking breaks from grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvance Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) thanks everyone... the tendinitis is starting to calm down - even after a tough workout at kody burns' place did a lot of active rest today and a few light ccs's with my 2.. i just got to learn to recover better and maybe i can get back after the MM1 and qual for nat'ls getting a lot of good help and encouragement which is making me better all-around Edited January 30, 2013 by jvance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotAGrip Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I get the same thing, it's really annoying. This may or may not be useful for you - but ever since I cut out the main sources of omega 6, the inflammation went right down, especially any heated plant/seed oils. Along with the advice above - I especially find working the extensors helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Johnson Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Mr. Vance, Rick Kaselj and I have a program out that addresses this: Fix My Elbow Pain In a Nut Shell: Rick covers the rehab side of tennis elbow and golfer's elbow and I show the preventive side. It's only $27. My preventive stuff has helped me keep it away for over two years now and I've shown it to a lot of my guys at The Grip Authority and it has helped them as well. Good luck. I know it sucks. I have had it multiple times in each elbow, mainly due to not being proactive enough. Jedd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvance Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 just an update on the ongoing battle with mild tendinitus... i've found that doing light stretches and light wrist curls with ten pounder has been starting to make a difference i had been neglecting wrist strength the last 6 or so months and it has finally caught up moral of the story: do your wrist curls... either with plates or barbell - but do not neglect the wrists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Something that I like that works immediately is flushing the area with a lot of blood. Do a circuit 3-5 times with band hammer curls and tricep pressdowns going for 30+ reps per set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GotAGrip Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I really would consider removing the majority of omega 6's from your diet while you fight tendonitis, mine has completely gone since I coupled that with some extensor work. Don't cook in oils or eat nuts, replace with grass fed butter and coconut oil. Seriously, it helps :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 good tip... i could always cut back on almonds... it'll be hard gotta beat this tendinitis though... it is seriously holding me back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 tendinitis really kicking my ass.... i guess i might have to walk away from grip for a while.. it is frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
