Hi guys. Several years ago, I had serious issues with Tennis Elbow, (tendonitis in the Elbow),but has not been an issue since, though it took a long time to heal. Recently, I started incorporating upright rows into my lifting routine, and a short time later, the tennis elbow problems came back. I know the positioning of your wrists have a lot to do with Tendonitis in the elbow. Has anyone experienced trouble with this that has been connected to upright to rows?
I appreciated any help!

Most types of pronated grip lifts are going to forcefully extend the wrist to some degree, which will put stress on the extensor tendon. I suggest training the medial delts in a way which doesn't require wrist extension (pronated grip load bearing). The lateral raise machine is probably your best option. Failing that, you can do lateral raises with manual resistance, where someone presses down on your elbows. It may sound awkward or too easy, but it's a good way to get plenty of deltoid activation with no stress on the elbow tendons.
