Check out Dave MacLeod's video "10 ways to overcome Elbow Tendonosis". Tendon recovery is a bit of a magical unicorn, but he (and from his advice, me as well) has found recovery from smart, careful, re-introduction to loading the tendons with eccentric movements. The goal is to slowly re-strengthen your tendons without injuring them. It's a long road that takes maturity to not overtrain and dedication to keep at it but it's worth it! Good luck!

So true my man!! I did the same mistake and suffered from tennis elbow. Pushed myself too fast with progressive overload. I did gain strength but couldn't even move my arm because of severe tennis elbow. Dropped weight and its gone .. Now i know that i have to overload with patience and not to rush.. thanks daniel for great advice 👍👍

Great video 💪 I’ve been injured once while doing leg raises, I strained my abdominal muscles, it was so painful during two weeks. Now I trained smarter , and not rushing the process. 💪

This video is dense with information that is actually interesting AND useful, also pretty motivational seeing that you're not just "all talk and no show". Thanks a lot man, been finding some really great stuff from you.

So many key messages in this video. It's all about your own journey and looking at the long term. Someone is always bigger/faster/stronger/more skilled than you. You've got to take inspiration from these guys and girls, but it's all about how you feel inside. Great video Daniel.

Absolutely agree It's very important to listen to your body. If any type of excercise is too excessive or causing pain you need to swap the movement. Mix them up but also works similar muscle. Every routine is different with individual. Rest & Nutrition is the major game changer. Have fun training guys.

Honestly those clean handstand pushups get me every time. Just a beautiful demonstration of human ability.

This is genuinely the best advise Video i have seen in the last years.

I appreciated hearing that movement to "failure" has some negative consequences, and that variety, slow progression and maintenance of form are ideas to minimize injury. Thanks, joe

I have never watched and heard of any other cali guys speak so much in depth then this guy! Other Cali programs might look better and be more eye appealing but fitness FAQ is the best hands down

This was fantastic and extremely helpful. As one who, when younger, went full blast and all out every workout for years I can personally attest that the inevitable injuries and time-off will impede progress far more in the long run than staying smart, steady, and ignoring your ego.

Thanks a ton Daniel for sharing your experience! I needed this as I was getting a bit impatient at the gym even though this has been the most consistent phase of working out in my life! Lol. I have been working out seriously for the past 2.5 months(1.5 at the Gym lifting weights) But impatience has been showing in the form of the urge to increase the weight or trying new exercises or even the urge to hit an extra set when you feel pumped but deep down you know that's not advisable especially relatively early on in my renewed training journey. Thanks for also outlining out the longer timeline and adaptive nature of the tendon compared to the muscles. same goes for Ligaments and the Fascia. This is extremely important as the pump and early gains disguise the internal mechanics of the still adapting soft tissues. 'The Bioneer' also went in depth about the same topic. Really appreciate it :)

Great video Daniel! I’ve been struggling with elbow pain for sometime now...

Thanks so much, I have been waiting for this video ever since I seriously injured my tendons and shoulders from overuse and aggressiveness about 5 weeks ago.. I never knew how tendons worked until I hurt myself.. I'm slowly getting better and would want to train stratigically this time around

Been out for the last 3 weeks, had light sprains/strains to parts of my left shoulder by going too fast on l-sit pullbacks.Starting light recovery and stretching/mobility next week. I had some costochondritis last year but corrected it by moving back the difficulty and following thoracic mobility exercises, especially the one Daniel uploaded a while back. Thanks for the videos my man. Injuries are inevitable. It’s how you choose to handle them that counts. You have to treat the rest and relaxation like part of your training as well.

I've been training to failure all these years thinking I was doing it right! Thanks you so much for this awesome information !

Excellent content. This helps a lot. Definitive tips and very clearly described and good to remember.

Definitely wise advice! I assume that most of us have been injured (either during calisthenics or any other type of training) and probably had stupid injuries, for any of those reasons mentioned in your video ... it's important to learn from these mistakes, and I believe that your video is a good way not to forget them, and avoid making them again and again!!! Therefore, it would be wise to see this video from time to time, especially a) as we are getting older b) if for any reason we had to stop training for a period and then restart (I have had several minor but really annoying injuries for such reasons, so at the age of 44 now, I strongly suggest younger guys of any level of training to keep this video as reference). Thank you so much Dan!!! Absolutely awesome!

Great video man!

Excellent video and useful tips. I have had too many injuries to remember. Biggest thing I learned is to warm up and stretch properly and that showing off will likely result in injuries.

I honestly did basically everything I should, and still got rotator cuff tendinitis. Couldn't even grab a water bottle. Most of my friends don't care about form etc and never had an injury. It's frustrating honestly. I think it's partly genetic. Face pulls and other stuff like that helps the recovery though

Everyone needs a special plan for his Body. So for you it would be a Longer warm up. Mobility. Basic exercises. Like Push ups for reps. Not making them harder by lifting your legs up. Or instead of shoulder handstand pike push ups. Just handstand holds as Long as Possible. Use exercises which does Not hurt just a lil Bit. And do them for time or reps. You will still grow. In jails they often work for reps. They dont have weights. For me I cant do one leged squats. So I just do a lot split squats. Normal squats. Fast squats and holds. Works Fine and does Not hurt my knees

Same here. I swear my partner has steel cables for tendons -- he's always doing stupid stuff and never gets injured. Meanwhile I need to be careful all the time. I think you're right about genetics. I know I have some mild connective tissue issues, so if I try a dynamic move or explosive reps I need to be excessively strong in the slow version of the move or an injury is pretty much guaranteed. I had 2 years of rotator cuff pain after an overuse injury (of course at 2 years at least some of it had become learned pain). It finally went away after a PT told me to not do any more pull ups until I could go from a dead hang to a tuck front lever, so I started doing these (with bent knees and I still cannot go that high! But I can go into a tuck front lever without momentum): kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2yYq7eng5a0ido.html and this other thing: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pIR327OtmMnFqqQ.html which I do anytime the pain comes back and that stops it immediately. And I was able to get back to handstand practice after doing a lot upper back extension stretches and exercises -- including those face pulls. Now I can feel muscles in my upper back working that I never even knew I had before. Anyway, this was a really great video with practical tips -- I'm actually motivated to go revise my programming now.

So i ive been traning calisthenics for 2 years, and just a few months ago got like a "strain" behind my right shoulder blade, probably from overtraining front lever and having a too weak scapula while not giving it enough rest. It became so bad that everytime i did a stupid move, even in normal day life like driving around, i felt like a sensation in my shoulder wich raidiated up my right shoulder to my head and i got a really bad headache for hours. This went on for weeks, so i restardet my front lever traning from scratch, built in more rest and went to massage once or twice a week. that helped and its now gone since a few weeks. Moral of the story, dont overtrain, dont try to skip steps because you already kinda can do stuff. give your body enough rest, if you want to do more implement yoga or cardio days. perfect pratice makes perfect, i learned it the painful way.

I did tear something near or below the scapula years ago while I was doing push ups. The pain was so strong that i pretty much couldn't turn my torso and my neck also hurt. After 2-3 days i felt better, so after a week passed I decided to start doing push ups again, and that's when something snapped again in that same spot. This time I used ibuprofen and it really seemed to have helped, as the pain was pretty much gone in 1 day. I had to wait 2 weeks to start doing push ups again though. I still don't know what I tore and how, but I think it may have been due to the fact that out of lazyness I decided to skip warming up. Sometimes I used to start with a set to failure right away too, but I'm glad I got wiser now!

Super valuable! Especially as we get older. At 58 there's only so much I'm gonna do before joints and tendons start talking back on the regular.

This was a great video. I have been dealing with elbow pain in both elbows for the last year. I decided to take a break. It's been about 3 weeks with no exercise and the pain has healed a little, but it's still there. I've tried supplements such a krill oil, callogen, but with no help. It's shitty because I've been unmotivated to continue my journey out of fear of making the injury worse. I feel that It's rarely talked about and most people just tough it out. This video helped me look at training more logically, and In a broader spectrum.

Absolutely perfect video. Thanks Daniel

Super grateful for your wisdom Daniel. Just what I needed. Taking a couple weeks off because of my hardcore golfers elbow after doing the same Sh*t for 1 year haha Same kind of weighted pull ups and handstand variations. Rewriting my program now. I had that whole mentality of not wanting to switch things of out of fear of losing gains. Just like you said I was getting high on seeing the progress from the hardcore consistency. Going to switch to rings for a bit on my pulls and some different pushing exercises. Thanks again !

Ive been following your channel since I started calisthenics which is about 6 months now and I love the genuine approach and information. I started hard often training planche and handstand repeatedly without warming up. I progressed super fast, getting a 4s good straddle, a decent handstand and presses and my first slow false grip muscle up in about 4 months at 5'11 and 72kg (wish I could post vids). Problem is I never cared about injuries and suffered for it. I started getting forearm overuse injuries when moved to advanced tuck like 2 months into it. It got so bad I had to stop planche training but still persued with handstands and pseudo pushups. Later (about 4 months in) I developed what I believe is TFCC injury at the side of my wrist and again I ignored the pain till it got way too much to train. I have stopped doing exercises that hurt (mainly handstands) for about 2 months now and although better it can't seem to heal. So please everyone take your pain and injuries seriously (Especially eager beginners wanting to progress fast like I was and still am). My question is this: Am I still damaging or impeding recovery if I do exercises which do not hurt but still involve my wrist such as dumbbell curls and pullups or is it OK if I don't feel any worse after? I would love to get a response from you since I respect you and your channel very much. Cheers all the way from malta

Very true about training to failure. It's not necessary

This video is the best video on fitness of my 2020

Excellent video.

Been telling people the stuff about connective tissue adaptation for years. Glad that others in the calisthenics world are educating people about this. You're one of the smartest and knowledgeable trainers online. Just wondered why you're not squeezing your arms in at the top of those ring archer pushups; I think that was a technique I learned from one of your videos. :)

Being impatient, and having ego as the motivation for training has been the biggest cause of injury that I had to learn the hard way. Recently having tennis elbow and issues with elbow tendon, as I tried to force progressions with levers too fast. Now I am learning it the hard way.
