Much better info than many others wasting time on surmons rather than demos ..Thank u

I realize this video is 3 years old, but I greatly appreciate it. I saw an ortho today because my TE was not getting better. He said I could lift weights just to avoid any exercises that irritate the elbow, but I appreciate that you gave real examples of exercises to avoid. And, I need to lower my weights, I was trying to increase my weight and it has made things worse 🤦‍♀️😂.

If you have got swelling around your elbow then you should avoid lifting any weight. I got my tennis elbow around a month ago and I kept working out with that. Now I am on a week's rest and it has recovered a lot. Earlier I was not able to pick a water bottle with my hand and now it's 80% recovered.

Great video with very helpful tips. 100% agree on the upright rows, they didn’t cause my issue, but they will light up the injury if I try them. I’ve read where heat and stretching can help mitigate some of the pain. You prefer ice after to reduce swelling?

I had a job where I collected garbage bags and lifted them into my pickup truck bed. After a couple of months I developed tennis elbow. Thanks for the video. I have a wrist brace and elbow brace and I'm gonna take a few weeks off to heal and then start working out slowly. The one weightlifting movement that has really been hurting my elbow is the skull crushers.

Excellent video and advice- thank you. You're funny too

The info I needed , Thanks so much! Xo

I found it interesting how you explained that keeping the wrist in a neutral position can help with tennis elbow which got me thinking. I also occasionally suffer from carpal tunnel on the same arm so if I wear my carpal tunnel wrist brace it keeps my wrist from flexing which should also help my tennis elbow. I am starting back at tennis tomorrow after 6 weeks off to settle down my elbow so I think I will try both the elbow brace and my wrist brace when I play, the wrist brace will really impede my racquet head speed but my hope is to just play for now.

That's how I got it in the first place a few weeks ago is doing "dips", I was surprised! Never got it playing tennis!!

I searched up info on KZread about tennis elbow because I’m desperate for relief. I came across your video and it was very helpful. I just used your link to order the matte strap. I want to keep working out but this injury has held me back a lot! Sometimes I workout as if I don’t have an injury and regret it later. I just don’t want to slow down my progress. Hopefully this strap will help! Thank you for the video and advice :)

@@ForwardTherapy Do you have a exercise video for that ??

im a bodybuilder with elbow injuries, the braces are a no brainer and if i had worn them earlier i would not have been injured in the first place, i would not reccomend the 90 degree deltoid raise, although you reduce the tention on the elbow it still hurts me, you can do lateral raises but with hands facing upwards this significantly reduces tention on the elbow and try with lower weights and try holding longer 3sec in the top position and going down slow. for the upright row this can be done with a rope and pull towards your head and adjust postion of the hands accordingly, palms inwards facing each other. Another exercise to avoid is the bent row with a bar palms facing down, these can be done with a barbell palms facing upwards for the entire range of motion, bring the dumbel towards your hip and squeaz, slowly release. you can progressively overload.

Thanks so much! This was really helpful! The only question that I had that wasn't discuss was any strengthen tips to prevent future injuries? Thanks! :)

The problem with chest press is that typically forearms are palm down (which is an aggravating posture), and often the wrists are extended back which engages the wrist extensor muscles! It isn’t that you can’t do it but you have to be really mindful of how it feels

Any palms down or heavy gripping is to be avoided! I've found that 'scraping' really helps. Thera- bar is terrible!!
