Tricep Workout/Elbow Pain

[S500N]

Hello,

My two main exercises for triceps are pulley pushdowns and seated overhead dumbell triceps extensions. The problem is, I keep having recurring injury/pain (tendonitis) in my right elbow. I was wondering if anybody had any good rehab suggestions for the elbow or alternative exercises that would be easier on the elbows? Thanks in advance.

Change up your exercises for starters. Doing the same repetitive movements over and over is a no go.

I just took Alieve and powered through it at about 85% of normal weight. After several months of intermittent pain, it went away altogether. Haven't had any flareups in five or six years now.

I had a similar issue which eventually went away. Felt it mostly while doing skull crushers or pushups. Try the pulley pushdowns with your palms facing forward or do kickbacks. I never had a problem with either.

When I had tendonitis/tennis elbow, Google told me to do wrist exercises. I did wrist curls with dumbbells and lightweight bars, palms up and then palms down, and backed the weight off my normal workout routine. The pain went away in about 2 weeks and I was able to go full force again.

I can't say for sure if I got better because of the wrist curls, or if it had more to do with just sucking it up and continuing my normal routine.

Wrist and bicep exercises will make elbow tendonitis go away in a hurry. I used to get it real bad from barbell bench presses.

Funny thing is that I have never gotten "tennis elbow" from playing tennis. (...and we play tennis a lot!) I got it from things like tricep kickbacks and other multi-joint arm lifts.

Yes, the wrist stretching and Advil route is what I took. That and laying off those lifts that aggravated the condition until it got better.

Rest it then don't do so much work for a small muscle group.

Get away from the isolation and hit more compound movements.

take midol

ba dump bump

but really, full extension on curls and use fatgrips.

Antagonistic training FTW.

Are you using a lat bar for pull downs, or a cotton rope?
