Not sure what forum to post this on, so I’ll try here.
I have Tennis Elbow. I was doing Heavy rows and felt it hurt. It’s been hurting now for 2 months. I took a month off training to help it heal. Well it still hurts.
Any ideas or treatments?
Strengthen your forearm extensors…that will fix most tennis elbow problems.
When I had this I started taking ibuprofen because it’s an anti-inflammatory. Also, I iced my elbow after pressing movements and kept everything pretty light for a few weeks.
It’s definetly caused from Forearms. It hurts most when I try to squeeze. But what do I do until my forearms are stronger?
Had “climbers elbow” in my first DC blast, hadn’t done much direct bicep work for ages - bicep strength shot up and got horrible elbow/forearm pain on most pulling moves.
- Underhand/enutral grip pulling was less painful than overhand
- Thumbless grip seems to remove most pain
- Stretch forearms regularly, I was doing 4 times a day - the more the better I would guess.
- Strengthen finger extensors - elastic bands around fimgers and open them outwards
- Self ART on areas that hurt
Thanks Plateau, I’ll give a try.
