Currenty, I am undergoing a fairly severe case of elbow tendinitis. I have no problems gripping, or pressing, but when I have to pull with a bent elbow...severe pain, so I haven't been able to do any rowing, any pullups/chins, or any biceps work for about 3.5-4 weeks now. I can do deadlifts without any problems.
Any advice exercises to do for my back, other than deads?

Back extensions, straight arm press downs, DB and BB pullovers. What about negatives for pulls/chins?
My left elbow (tricep insertion) had been killing me for several months. Now that I'm into my 5th week of HST training, it's nearly cleared up. I wasn't about to take the time off to let it heal, and after seeing several posters say that HST had let several nagging injuries healed I decided to try it, and I'm happy with it so far.

Thanks everyone. I do use lifting straps when doing deads, and it's not in the grip that causes pain.
The reason I ask is I was having some pain in my elbows and tendons when doing wide grip pullups for a while. When I used straps to supplement my grip it took a lot of stress off my forearms and albows and reduced the pain a lot.

Fifty+...great ideas, thanks.
It is starting to heal, and I do ice it often.
don't forget ibuprofen... you should wear a tennis elbow strap it will help to keep the tendons tracking straight therefore limiting the rubbing..
don't stop exercising, use a light weight(or even none) and do your curls or whatever exercise that causes you pain, keep it very very light , do high reps and stretch after.
Stretch your wrists by holding your arms straight in front of you
just like this
