Golfer's elbow pain

[designer01]

I've been weight lifting for years but for a few months now I've had this golfers elbow pain that does not want to quit. I'm sure I'm not having the right technique or posture which may be causing it. What exercises may cause golfers elbow in the gym? (I don't play golf btw but the location of the pain is on the inner side of my elbow, where the tendons of my forearm muscles attach to the bony bump on the inside of my elbow.) Thanks for the advice in advance

probably quicker to try both than wait for our friend to revisit the thread?

welcome to a very large club
Tendonitis is extremely common and many of us work out regularly with this issue

check out compression elbow sleeves- designed to alleviate this condition
they have a pressure pad, that you locate just below the area of pain when working out
this keeps the tendon from being stretched and allows you to train discomfort free
I had one for best part of 12 months , but have not used it for last month or so due to this simple exercise

forum member Mike Modjeski17 - made the vid I believe and I do this 3 times per day each day and been pain free since starting

Just tried those stretches and will incorporate them, thanks for sharing

hey and where is your vid for assisted curls (poundstone style, low weight, high reps with unaffected arm helping to move the one with issue) , which also helps ( I have tried that also by the way)
Mike only has 98 posts in total so it was easy to find the post he made with that You Tube link in
you have 22,000 plus, so I would be here all night and then some, if I looked through your post history to find it.

If you google Bando's Tendonitis Curls you'll come up with it:

Tendon pain is ofter a sign of tightness and pressure in the muscles that feed into the tendon. You probably over-worked something. What were you doing?

[me5001]

Here's what I did that helped a bunch. First, understand that it's an imbalance. Something is probably tight and you need to treat that too. Ice at first and these stretches/exercises: http://www.hughston.com/hha/a.seven.htm Also, a foam roller goes a long way. At first, this one really helped: http://tomrandallclimbing.wordpress....ible-solution/ (doing it with only one arm on a yoga mat). Good luck man.

If I have to guess it is improper technique and posture, not sure which movement may be causing this pain since it is not a sudden injury.. In other words it's been building up for a while. I have seriously been considering hiring or consulting an athletic trainer or other fitness specialist who's familiar with proper weight training technique. People say that If you've been using weights for a while, consider scheduling time with a trainer to demonstrate your technique and identify any changes you may need to make. Any recommendations of this type of specialist in the Miami FL. area?
Thanks

Some of my more recent vids touch on the importance of center of gravity and "power paths" for resistance training if you are interested in an effective alternative approach. I wouldn't trust the industry.

When you feel its gone, still go easy on curls, pullups and skullcrushers for a while. It kinda lingers!

[SAHS]

Been down that path with heavy lifting. I use sleeves myself and definitely know when it's time to back off and save it for another day.

Skull crushers did it to me and I don't do them anymore. It took almost two months for the pain to finally go away. Skull crushers were my favorite exercise too, but dealing with that elbow pain just wasn't worth it.

I have similar pain when I do bicep curls. I've tried elbow tendonitis straps which helps, but I recently found this YouTube video with the recommendation to use a thumbless grip and I was surprised that something so simple helped ease the pain:



I don't use lifting straps. I use Power Pads:

Tricep push downs always aggravated my elbows..I don't do them
Anymore...you may want to try varying your grip on curls to see if something works that doesn't cause pain...my 2 cents

Yeah, same here though I've gotten back into them. I also found that I was doing too narrow of a grip on my dips (hands were very close in to my body, flipped the handles for a much wider grip and it took so much stress off of the elbow)

IMHO, the forearm straps are a must for this condition but seems to be the easy fix everyone ignores.

I thought I'd have to give up lifting it got so bad. Even bending my arm to hold a cup would hurt. Then I was pain free the first time I used them while lifting.
