    I have very tight/dominant lats, weaker rhomboids/mid-back, dominant pecs, and therefore some shoulder pain at the moment. Trying to fix it all. I don't target biceps in my workouts, nor my triceps. Would incorporating some tricep work help with all of this? And yeah I can "crack" my elbow several times throughout the day as it builds up in tension. Thanks for any help in advance! You seem like a true professional from these videos. Subscribed.

    Thanks you for your video however I'm not sure this applies to me but I could be wrong. My left elbow clicks when I use triceps/extend my arms eg diamond push-ups, same elbow has a tendon or medial flexer or maybe even ulnar nerve? that rubs over the inner bone as I contract/extend. Neither of these things happen with my right but both medial bones get very sore to touch or throb on occasion, those stretches are totally fine for me zero issues. Any suggestions warmly welcome & thank you in advance.

    Wow. I wasn't even getting popping or clicking, just straight-up agonizing pain in the elbow of one arm whenever I tried to lift one hand up to shoulder level or carry anything. It had been going on for weeks when my wife pointed me to this video, I tried the exercises at my desk while I was watching it and it was already feeling a lot better at the end of the nine minutes. I'd even been trying quite similar stretches but hadn't realised the importance of rotating the arm correctly while doing them. A day later and I'm barely even noticing the problem any more - thanks a lot!

    I dont know if impingement is what i had. I couldnt move my arm to shoulder height without pain and i was 'locked' and unable to go higher no matter what level of pain i embraced, there was physical limitation stopping me,like the bones were misaligned. First i had to fix pigeon chest and rhomboids (touching and later clasping hands behind my back and eventually raising them n upper chest/collarbone massage) I now have full range of movement because several times a day i used to lie on the floor, later back against the wall, and stretch out my arms at full length to the point of 'good pain' that i could relax into, eventually touching fingertips above my head. Then i did Y,W,T,L shapes with my arms, the elbow lowered and as close to floor/wall as possible, eventually touching in the W and L positions.

    I have had an injury in my left elbow for 9 months now, it wasn't bad at first but it picked up on the severity after a few weeks. Doctors told me the same thing, just wait, just stop playing basketball, but I never got pain from playing basketball. Usually I would get pain after I woke up, sleeping on my left arm and after being in a fixed position for a while. The second I tried this, my elbow stopped clicking, and for me the pain came from the clicking. THANK YOU. I feel like people over look the elbow as an important joint to strengthen, that was me at one point, never again.

    I get soreness on my right elbow, on the inside. Sometimes side sleeping on either side makes it worse, so I try to start out sleeping on my back with the arm by my side, palm up and in a relaxed position, which helps also. @Matt are these exercises ok for any elbow pain ie on the inside or outside? I find my triceps and outer arm get a bit tender although the pain is on the inside. Tricep stretch with my elbow above my head, hand down my back has released some tension so far.

    These are great exercises for most situations, but be aware that rarely the popping comes from ulnar nerve subluxation, which you have to be much more careful about. If you don't see improvement after a few weeks, or if you experience finger numbness or tingling, even just for a moment around the popping, please see a doctor.

    The focus for me is also more on the wrist and fore arm and rather strenghten the biceps then stretch it. U are discribing elbow problem. There is a high risk, since elbow is a hinch joint, the problem can be under and over the joint it self. Also check if you have a thoracic imbalance, it can effect the scapula wich affects the possition/rotation on the humurus.

    What about medial epicondylitis exercises. I think it has to do with flexor carpi ulnaris overuse.

I get clicking followed by soreness and throbbing after a gym workout but not during and or 2 days later…..
